Data virtualization and asynchrounous loading, search and filtering with Entity Framework

I am doing data virtualization using VirtualQueryableCollectionView.

I pass there IQueryable from EF.

var db = new ProductionContext();

IQueryable cards = db.Cards.OrderBy(x => x.CardId);

var view = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView(cards) { LoadSize = 50 };

cardsRadGridView.ItemsSource = view;

Its works fine. But how to make it asynchronous? (asynchronous loading, search, filtering) I searched for examples but found only examples for WCF like bellow

https://www.telerik.com/blogs/telerik-data-virtualization-wcf-ria-services-and-visual-studio-async-ctp?_ga=2.125533513.2135094116.1586865074-1480584776.1567419497

I tried to do the same for the EF

var db = new ProductionContext();

IQueryable cards = db.Cards.OrderBy(x => x.CardId);

Loaded += async (o, args) =>

{

var view = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView<Card>

{

LoadSize = 50,

VirtualItemCount = await TaskEx.Run(() => cards.Count())

};

view.FilterDescriptors.CollectionChanged += async (s, e) =>

{

view.VirtualItemCount = await

TaskEx.Run(() => cards.Where(view.FilterDescriptors).Count());

};

view.FilterDescriptors.ItemChanged += async (s, e) =>

{

view.VirtualItemCount = await

TaskEx.Run(() => cards.Where(view.FilterDescriptors).Count());

};

view.ItemsLoading += async (s, e) =>

{

var queryToLoad = cards

.Sort(view.SortDescriptors)

.Where(view.FilterDescriptors)

.Skip(e.StartIndex)

.Take(e.ItemCount);

cardsRadGridView.IsBusy = true;

view.Load(e.StartIndex, await TaskEx.Run(() => queryToLoad.ToIList()));

cardsRadGridView.IsBusy = false;

};

cardsRadGridView.ItemsSource = view;

};

but it does not work(

Where can one find a good example of implementing this?

WPF maxing out chart performance?

I am rendering 50,000 data points per seconds one 3 charts my UI freezes at that point... I am running 3 charts updating in real time with new data points coming in every second so I add them to the collection, I am implementing data virtualization for the scrolling but when scrolled out and a large number of samples is where I see the freeze. They are scatter series and I am not using a point template I have rendering set to bitmap and "Batch" Is there any other ways to significantly improve the performance? My process is only using 20-30% CPU and 400-600mb ram I have tried it on a box with a GPU also with no better result... I am stumped on this one guys.

Thanks!

Specify the display format for the property

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to specify the display format for a property in the PropertyGrid?

I've tried the [DisplayFormat], but neither DataFormatString nor NullDisplayText seems to be making any difference whatsoever.

In my particular case, I want the DateTime property to be displayed as 'yyyy - MM - dd', but (as I mentioned), decorating the property with [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "yyyy - MM - dd")] doesn't work.

As far as I have noticed, PropertyGrid selects RadDateTimePicker for DateTime types by default, but for some dates I'd like the 'date' part only. I don't care much about editing (although that would be nice too), but it would be great to adjust the display for read-only property grids.

Is there any way to make that work?

Mark Parent window from different app domain

Hi Team,

We have a parent window (RadRibbonWindow) which is being executed in a different app domain and then multiple child app domains opens a dialogs ( RadWindows).

Problem:

We can not set parent window from child windows as they are on different app domains. In MS controls we have functionality of WindowInteropHelper that can be used to define an owner but in case of RadWindow we have a content control.

I have tried to set the content from respective app domin like (RadButton) to be parent which is also from related app domin but displayed in the main application but things are not working.

Any Ideas how to manage it.

Regards

Using GridViewMultiColumnComboBoxColumn degrade application performance

Hi Team,

I wanted to use the GridViewMultiColumnComboBoxColumn in my grid and bind it to data set which contain medium amount of data. The memory consumption is way more that I expected also it is taking alot more time to display the drop down. I switch to MultiColumnComboBox using template and it is working way better and can not see memory spikes.

Can you please help me on this. I am currently using Telerik version "2020.1.218"

Unable to set Foreground color in a ChartAnnotationLabelDefinition?

My RadCartesianChart uses an AnnotationsProvider showing CartesianPlotBandAnnotations. I set the LabelDefinitions with a DefaultVisualStyle that had the text as I wanted it. And it honors every property I set except the text color. That gets ignored, no matter what I set it to.

I've attached an image that shows what it looks like. You can see the region labels (literally named "Top" and "Bottom"). They show up in Italics as I want and using the FontSize I want. But the color remains grey when I'm trying to set it to white.

Here's my label definition resource

<tk:ChartAnnotationLabelDefinition x:Key="BandLabelDefinition" Location="Inside" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">

<tk:ChartAnnotationLabelDefinition.DefaultVisualStyle>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}" BasedOn="{StaticResource TextBlockStyle}">

<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{Binding Source={core:Settings}, Path=FontSizeSmall}"/>

<Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic"/>

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>

</Style>

</tk:ChartAnnotationLabelDefinition.DefaultVisualStyle>

</tk:ChartAnnotationLabelDefinition>

And here's the bit where I set it in the style of the CartesianPlotBandAnnotation

<Style x:Key="RegionBandStyle"

TargetType="{x:Type tk:CartesianPlotBandAnnotation}">

<d:Style.DataContext>

<x:Type Type="core:IProfileRegion" />

</d:Style.DataContext>

<Setter Property="Label" Value="{Binding Name}"/>

<Setter Property="LabelDefinition" Value="{StaticResource BandLabelDefinition}"/>

What am I missing here? How may I set the font color in a label definition?

(Note: I also tried the approach of using the ChartAnnotationLabelDefinition.Template property instead of "DefaultVisualStyle". That didn't help at all)

Make RadWindow minimize/maximize/close take precedence

I've noticed that if I have a child of a RadWindow that is currently in a validation error state, I cannot utilize the RadWindow's minimize, maximize or close buttons.

For example, a RadGridView with items that implement INotifyDataErrorInfo, when a new item is added, the new item's fields are invalid, but I cannot click the RadWindow's buttons unless I cancel out of the new row.

In addition, when adding debugging output to the events for the RadGridView's events, I've found that if I am in the middle of an edit in a cell, clicking any of the RadWindow's buttons causes it to fire the events for the cell and row edits ending prior to firing any of the RadWindow's events, such as clicking the close button fires the PreviewClosing event after the RadGridView's events.

Is there a way to give precedence to the RadWindow's buttons so they can be utilized regardless of the state of controls within the window and to run their events prior to controls in the RadWindow?
