Visual Studio RC, Grid performance

[KOSTAS SEFERIS]

I face a performance issue with Q1 2010 beta and Visual Studio professional Release Candidate (RC, not beta 2).

All the forms with RadGrids take a lot of time to fill the grid with data (for a grid with 100 rows, it takes appr. 30 seconds).

I am using Entity Framework. It is not due to EF, because if I replace RadGrid with MS Data Grid, it is OK.

Q3 2009 was much faster.

By the way, I installed RC because beta 2 stopped working after the installation of Q1 2010. I was getting a message "Visual studio has stopped working" which I could not debug because VS Debuger also could not start. I tried to solve it by reseting VS settings but it didn't work. So, I uninstalled VS Beta 2 and installed VS RC.

Thanks.

I think the problem is more generic.

I uninstalled Q1 2010 and installed back Q3 2009. The grid is very slow (fill with data, scrolling, sorting)

It seems there are performance issues with  RadGrid and  VS Release Candidate.

Hello,

Can you post the grid/window definition and how the grid is bound in your case?

All the best,

Here it is.

It is a very simple window.

Thanks for your attention.

Hello KOSTAS SEFERIS,

Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce your problem.  Attached is a sample project using latest binaries. Also, I have prepared a video where the problem cannot be reproduced - http://www.screencast.com/users/danche/folders/Jing/media/b2ebd86a-9def-4066-864e-b7974cf11e8a .
Please, take a look and let us know if we are missing something.

Sincerely yours,

OK, your example has no performance problems.

However, if you try to fill the grid with the Order Details table (2155 records) you will see the difference.  In my PC (Core Duo 2,4, 4MB Ram) it takes 20 seconds to create the grid so the user can scroll up and down. Then, scrolling is also very slow and takes 50% of the CPU time.

I'll submit a support ticket including the project.

Thanks,

Kostas
