Hi,

I have noticed a performance issue with the RadListView and DataPager controls. I am seeing a noticable delay in moving to the next page in my RadListView which I think is due to the number of CSS calls being made. This only happens the first time i visit the page with the control on and click the "next page" button - afterwards, the css is cached so the performance is fine.

I am seeing 8 calls to CSS files from my WebResource.axd. These are for:

Telerik RadListView Common CSS
Telerik RadListView Default Skin
Telerik RadDataPager Common CSS
Telerik RadDataPager Default Skin

The calls all occur twice!

Is there a way to reduce these calls?
Here is my code:

    
            <asp:UpdatePanel ID="upExpList" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional" ChildrenAsTriggers="false"> 
        
                    <ContentTemplate>  
        
                    <ul> 
        
                            <telerik:RadListView OnPageIndexChanged="rlvExperiences_PageIndexChanged"  
        
                            ItemPlaceholderID="ViewTitlePlaceholder" 
        
                                DataKeyNames="ExperienceId" ID="rlvExperienceTitles" 
        
                                runat="server" AllowPaging="true"> 
        
                                <LayoutTemplate> 
        
                                    <li runat="server" id="ViewTitlePlaceholder" /> 
        
                                    </li> 
        
                                </LayoutTemplate> 
        
                                <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                    <li> 
        
                                        //removed for brevity 
        
                                    </li> 
        
                                </ItemTemplate> 
        
                            </telerik:RadListView> 
        
                        </ul>

Hello Tom,

I'm afraid that I'm unable to recreate the behavior you have described. I'm receiving as expected just

RadListView Common CSS
RadListView Default Skin
RadDataPager Common CSS
RadDataPager Default Skin

Also I have noticed that you are not using RadListView's built-in skinning, therefore you may consider to disable the css which are downloaded for it. This can be achieve by setting EnableEmbeddedSkins and EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet to false.

Kind regards,
