GridViewComboBoxColumn slow

Hi

We have a GridViewComboBoxColumn that's databound to about 5000 rows. The first time I click the dropdown, it happens instantaneously, however, on subsequent attempts to click the dropdown, it takes quite a while before the list is dropped down to allow me to select a row.

Is there anything I can do to improve the performance? If not, is there another way I can do this?

Thanks

Ralph

Performance question - gridview bound to Oracle DB

Hello,

I would like to bind the gridview control, on a VB.Net form, to an Oracle 11g database that has millions of records.
Can anybody tell what would be the performance in this case? Does grid a have 'pagination' or a buffering feature that would allow a fast load/scrolling?
I have a Windows utility called Oracle SQL Developer (from ORACLE Corp.) that does a similar job, i.e. can be used to browse a table that has millions of records and it works super fast.
Does Telerik grid have a similar performance? I didn't install it yet because I would research for a different product in case the performance is slow.

hierarchical grid double click?

I have successfully created the hierarchical grid and the sub-grid. I am now needing to allow the user to double click on the sub grid that is shown. How would I go about doing this?

I am creating the subgrid like this:

    
            GridViewTemplate oppSubGrid = new GridViewTemplate(); 
        
            // .. other code goes here to setup columns, etc. 
        
            gridDupes.MasterGridViewTemplate.ChildGridViewTemplates.Add(oppSubGrid); 
        
            GridViewRelation relation = new GridViewRelation(gridDupes.MasterGridViewTemplate); 
        
            relation.ChildTemplate = oppSubGrid; 
        
            relation.RelationName = "ContactsOpportunities"; 
        
            relation.ParentColumnNames.Add("ID"); 
        
            relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("ContactID"); 
        
            gridDupes.Relations.Add(relation);

Now I just need to know how to call a function with a double click. Any ideas?

Thanks!

[Solved] Licensing Query

Hi
(There are multiple questions , iin this single question. )

I was understanding deployment process. I created a simple winforms application with couple of forms getting datafrom SQL into GridControl. I marked assembly as "Copy Local" and published it. When i Installed it on a Fresh XP machine, it did get installed, but the form containing GRID did not open. Why?

I recalled my experience of Crystal report with VS2003 or VS2005 where report runs fine on developer PC, but when deployed, it stops working and we need to add a key into deployment and setup project and then deploy it on client machines.

In order to understand how deployment will work, I came upon this link http://blogs.telerik.com/vassilterziev/posts/08-01-15/telerik_licensing_demystified.aspx and got more confused.

"Our products do NOT work with license keys and you can safely install them on any machine without worrying about license key errors"

Well this is fine and I understand the freedom behind it. but then how licensing works?
Do I not to enter license key anywhere on PC?

Gridview - SQLQuery with Multiple Joins - Performance.

I am here trying to find if GridView has some solution to my problem.

I have a table 'Contacts' with has fields like
PresentAddress|CityID|StateID|CountryID|ZoneID
PermanentAddress|CityID|StateID|CountryID|ZoneID
DepartmentID
DesignationID
DivisionID.

Now all above fields are foreign keys in contacts table. Currently i am retrieving data using Joins and displaying in Gridview.
One of my problem is that CityID|StateID|CountryID|ZoneID tables are used twice in joins with different alias to fill up their associated values for PresentAddress & PermanentAddress fields. so overall 11 to 12 tables in a join. I am sure performance will shout as no of records will increase.

I am thinking if i retrieve from database those Individual master tables (City,State,Country,Zone etc and Contact table) into DataSet (without joins) then CAN GridView help me to retrieve associate data and display. which mean whereever it finds a column CityID, it brings CityName from CityMaster table and display in place of CityID column.
