Virtual Grid Without paging

[Ken Rubin]

Hi. 

We are looking at Kendo UI for our new web offering. 
We have grids in our system which can easily contain 100K rows or more.
We do not want paging.  We want to be able to scroll across all rows without interruption.

I modified the basic grid example to generate 100K rows and set the page size to 100K.
The grid took around 4 minutes to load and then was unresponsive to user interaction.

Is there a way to specify a true virtual mode so that the data source size becomes unimportant?

Take care,

Ken Rubin

Hi Ken,

I am afraid that it is a bit unclear what do you mean by "Is there a way to specify a true virtual mode so that the data source size becomes unimportant?"
Kendo grid supports virtualization of both local and remote data - you can see and test this functionality in corresponding the on line demos:

• local: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/virtualization-local-data.html 
• remote: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/virtualization-remote-data.html 

Having in mind the large data set you are dealing with, I would recommend to consider using remote data together with server paging. Thus way you would be able to send a smaller pieces of data to the client which in your case will highly improve the performance.

Alexander,

Thanks for the reply.  The local data virtualization link you provided did the trick.

Take care,
