Hello,

For my webapplication I use an AJAX Radgrid with something like 15 columns and 30 000 rows.
Filtering, sorting are ok and pretty fast, but when I try to group results it become really slow, and actually with my 30 000 rows it doesn't work. The ajax call returns a 500 error.

I saw a thread on this forum explaining that Radgrid is fast enough for 300 000 rows, so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...

I use an AJAX Radgrid with a HeaderContextMenu, linked to an EntityDataSource (but I tried with a LinqDataSource too).
On the code below I removed most of the columns for readability, it's just several common GridBoundColumn.

The Telerik.Web.UI.dll version is 2010.2.929.35, Framework .NET 3.5

Hi Carole,

Could you please try setting the RadGrid.EnableLinqExpressions to true and let me know if the issues still persists. Since Q3 2011 release we had a new Linq based grouping which is turned on by default. This type of grouping has a huge performance optimization and internally uses Dynamic Linq for grouping. Also this grouping is controlled by the RadGrid. EnableLinqExpressions and MasterTableView.EnableLinqGrouping properties (default values are "true"). More information you could find here:
http://blogs.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/posts/11-11-08/super-charged-performance-optimizations-for-telerik-s-asp-net-ajax-grid-in-q3-2011.aspx

Looking forward for your reply.

Hello Carole,

Unfortunately there is not much that you can do in order to increase the performance of the grouping in your case. I strongly suggest you to upgrade to the latest version of our controls where the grouping is taking advantage of the new linq grouping mechanism. Also in your case to increase the performance you can try applying some of the suggested approaches into the following documentation article:

I hope this helps.
