Hi,

Has anyone used this control in this scenario, uses this control to display quotes, in an active market.

We all know what the stock quote gride consist of, so i wont elaborate on that.  My issues are that the gridview is using too much cpu when updating quotes as it arrives.  on each page of quotes, i have a max of 25 rows of data that i'm watching, if all are updating at the a rate of 25ms, my cpu utilization is at around 60%, i don't think this is normal unless i'm doing something wrong.

can someone shed some light on this subject?

Thanks,

Hello Kevin,

I haven't built this type of application before, but you will find there are a few things that you can do to increase performance of the RadGridView. take a look at this brief article on performance considerations.
You may also want to look at implementing Virtual Mode which means that you would handle your own data management operations.

This said, I usually find RadGridView fast but it will always take up more memory and CPU footprint than the standard GridView due to the enhanced functionality. If you would like to post a sample that replicates an issue though, I'll be happy to take a look at it.

Regards,
Richard
