We have created a web form with two radtreeview controls and some standard vs2008 webcontrols (Buttons, DropDownList etc.) The first tree is loaded with about 15-20 nodes loaded from using tree.LoadXML(XMLSTRING);. The second has approximately 300 nodes loaded programmatically from a SQLDataReader and tree.nodes.add(). This form loads very fast on our local LAN (1-2 seconds). But when we moved it to our production server (test site) we found that the time it takes to load the page is up to 15 – 20 seconds (page source size is ~ 150KB). Our old asp.net web form with the standard microsoft treeview control loads (using SQLDataReader and tree.nodes.add()) in 5-7 seconds (page source size in ~ 450kb).
Using 3.5 .net framework
firefox 3.0.4 and IE 6,7,8
IIS 6 on win2003 sp2
Any thoughts as to why our web form is loading so slow. Is the some issue with the trial version that would cause this behavior?
Thanks,
