I have a few virtual grids that have a somewhere between a few hundred and several thousand rows in them.

No matter what I try I am getting a stackoverflow error on the CellValueNeeded event anytime I try to sort any of my grids.

Not sure what to do here.

Hello David,

I tested the described scenario using the virtual mode in RadGridView. However, I was not able to observe issues. Please, could you prepare a small project which reproduces the issue. This will allow us to investigate it in detail and provide you with further assistance. Thank you in advance.

I am looking forward to your reply.

All the best,

I have just tried similar code to David and I am also getting a Stack Overflow Exception in the CellValueNeeded Event after sorting.

I can reproduce the error with the following code.
Public Class Form1
    Private CellValueNeededCount As Integer = 0
    Private CellValue As Integer = -1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        With RadGridView1
            .VirtualMode = True
            .Columns.Add("C1")
            .Columns.Add("C2")
            .Columns.Add("C3")
            .AllowAddNewRow = False
            .AllowDeleteRow = False
            .AllowEditRow = False
            .ShowGroupPanel = False
            .EnableFiltering = False
            .EnableGrouping = False
            .RowCount = 1000
        End With
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub RadGridView1_CellValueNeeded(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellValueEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellValueNeeded
        CellValueNeededCount += 1 ' with 10 rows visible =  30 for unsorted,18000+ for sorted
        Me.Text = CellValueNeededCount
 
        '**************************************************************************************************
        'Swapping the following lines will cause a stack overflow exception when sort
        e.Value = CellValue
        'e.Value = GetValueFromDataCache(e.RowIndex, e.ColumnIndex) 'e.RowIndex seems to be undefined when sorted
        '**************************************************************************************************
    End Sub
 
    Private Function GetValueFromDataCache(RowIndex As Integer, ColumnIndex As Integer) As Integer
        Return RowIndex + ColumnIndex + CellValue
    End Function
    Private Sub RadGridView1_SortChanged(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCollectionChangedEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.SortChanged
        'SortDataCache(BuildOrderByText)
        RadGridView1.TableElement.Update(Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridUINotifyAction.DataChanged)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub RadGridView1_SortChanging(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCollectionChangingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.SortChanging
        CellValueNeededCount = 0 'reset the count
        CellValue = CInt(Rnd(1) * 1000) 'new number to display
    End Sub
End Class

Hi Lesley,

Indeed, RadGridView does not support filtering, sorting, and grouping in Virtual Mode. Only the UI and descriptor collections are updated. We found some issues when the RowIndex and ColumnIndex arguments are used in sorting operation. I logged the issues in our Public Issue Tracking System. Here you can find the PITS entry: Public URL. The fix will be available in one of the next releases.

Thank you for the report. Your Telerik points have been updated.

I am currently experiencing this exact issue.  During my CellValueNeeded event that is fired immediately after typing in a single letter into a filter, the GridViewCellValueEventArgs seems to trigger a Stack Overflow exception.

Same is true for grouping.

Can you confirm that this was indeed fixed in the latest release?  I'm currently using v.2013.2.724.40

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for writing.

The issue in question has not yet been fixed. As said in this help article, the following operations are not support by RadGridView while in VirtualMode:
  • Grouping
  • Sorting
  • Filtering

As with VirtualMode you need to manage your DataSource manually the grid has no direct access to it, thus these operations are impossible with the current implementation of RadGridView. You can however perform the filtering and sorting operations directly on your DataSource collection.

Let me know if you have further questions.

George

Hello, I know GridView can't sort/group/filter data in virtual mode, but: it is possible to use the sort / filter events to actually sort/filter the local datasource cache without to have to write all the UI code that is already available to manage sort/filter using bound mode?

Is any VirtualModeUserWantsToSort(ColumnIndex, Ascending) , VirtualModeUserWantsToFilter(ColumnIndex, FilterDescriptor) event available to help virtual mode implementor to reuse the existing grid filter and sort descriptor user interface?

Or as an alternative: is possible to intercept column header click to sort data and display the sort arrow to the user and to put a customized filter row above each column that the user can use to insert search criteria (and a filter operator)?

Hello Andrea,

Thank you for writing back.

Currently, we do not have such example. We are considering adding such article in future, should we add it, I will let you know in this thread.

You can intercept a header cell click by using the MouseClick event of RadGridView. You can also use the FilterChanging, SortChanging events to cancel the operations and still get the sort/filter expression which you can use to filter your data source. Note that after you have filtered your data you should set the RowCount property of RadGridView in order to refresh the data.

Let me know if you have further questions.

George

Hi Andrea,

As I promised, I am getting back to you since we released an article which demonstrates how to use filtering, sorting and grouping with RadGridView and Virtual Mode. You can find the article on the following address: High Performance with RadGridView and Virtual Mode including Filtering, Sorting and Grouping.

Do not hesitate to let me know, should you have any questions.

Thank you that worked form me, with little adjustments (my datasource is a remote DB i do not need to load all rows locally)

I think in the same way i adapted to my orm can be done for who using relational databases / datatables / iqueryable.

It works fine.

Thank you very much, i did not have enough grid knowledge to be able to imagine this solution, i really appreciated.

Hi George,

I downloaded your "High Performance with RadGridView and Virtual Mode including Filtering, Sorting and Grouping" sample and have been experimenting with it for a few days.  It's a very nice sample.  One thing I noticed is that if there is a group, sorting of the non-grouped columns no longer works.  Is this something that is even possible to implement?  If so, I could use a little direction.

Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob,

Thank you for writing.

This custom solution does not handle this particular case. However it is possible to implement such functionality. What needs to be done is to return proper value in the GetItemKey method in the VirtualGroupBuilder class. In addition you need to set the PagingBeforeGrouping property to false. You should create a dictionary that holds all items indexes as well (this just speeds up the process because using the IndexOf method is slow in this case).

I have attached an updated version of the project. To test this case just group by using the "id" column and then sort by "Name". 

I hope this will be useful.

Dimitar

Hi FIlippo, this happens to the new version of the grid, they are aware of the problem and they are working on this, look at the following http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/154/Feedback/Details/166550-add-radgridview-add-means-for-a-virtual-grid-to-go-round-the-current-sort-fil , the eta is Q3 2015.

Thank you for this info,

  I'm trying to use EF 6.3 to access a SQL Server Database but I have a lot of performance issue if I have to call DBSet(T).Load just to get data sources for data-bounded RadGridView's templates.

  What I need is a Hierarchical GridView in virtual mode (also for childs...) and Sort, Group and Filter enabled functionalities.

  I'll try using Load-On-Demand but I don't know if "Add New Row" will work for children in hierarchy.

  Please consider this scenario for a future sample that will help a developer to solve performance issues quickly.

  Best of all will be if Telerik will implement this scenario inside RadGridView, for example setting DBSet(Of T) as datasource and loading data when needed.

  Best regards,

    Filippo.

Hi Filippo,

Thank you for writing.

I have logged a feature request for this in our Feedback Portal. You can track the item for status changes and add your vote for it here.

When you are using load on demand hierarchy only the firs template is bound to the grid. If you want to add new rows, you should use the UserAddedRow and manually add the row to the data source. For example:
DataTable child = new DataTable();
void radGridView1_UserAddedRow(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    child.Rows.Add(e.Row.Cells[0].Value, e.Row.Cells[1].Value);
    radGridView1.Templates[0].Refresh();
}

Your Telerik Points have been updated for this report.

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Dimitar

Hi Dimitar,

  I found another solution: I don't use load on demand hierarchy, instead I use databound hierarchy BUT... I eager load child entities in my DbContext in the ChildViewExpanding event.

  This trick lets me demand load entities using entity framework instead RadGridView.

  My solution is just more bit tricky due to other performance issues but this is the main idea.

  Now I have another problem because I think there is a bug in RadGridView. Please see my Bug Report ID:968829. I have a Data Exception that is impossible for me to understand.

   Best Regards,

  Filippo
