[CLOSED] Binding Store to Datatable VERY slow...
I am binding a store to a datatable that I have created in code-behind. The store uses a JsonReader, but it is very slow, it takes a few seconds to load the list of maybe 100 rows. And during the load, no load mask is showing either. This is much slower than binding the store to a sql data source... but I don't have that option here.
The column with the text loads first and then it takes a long time to load the command columns...
Is there a better way to bind the store to the datatable? Is there a way to show the loading mask?
Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks

RE: [CLOSED] Binding Store to Datatable VERY slow...
Hi,
It is no difference using SqlDataSource or bind grid with data directly (without DataSource control). The binding performs on client side therefore doesn't mater what source because data serialized to json object.
I noticed that you use CommandColumn. CommandColumn is heavy control because it creates toolbar for each row therefore data rendering can be long for 100 rows if you use CommandColumn.*
I recommend using it for a table with the number of lines of no more than 20.
Otherwise use ImageCommandColumn -*a simpler and faster version of CommanColumn
RE: [CLOSED] Binding Store to Datatable VERY slow...
Can you post a quick example of the image command column? I don't see where to set the image or the command name... Thanks

Hi,
Please see example in SVN*

Thanks, please mark as [CLOSED]...
Alternative for MenuCommand but faster, not ImageCommand
Hi,
I use MenuCommand in my BufferView.
Still, rendering is slow. I read the MenuCommand is heavy control and you propose to use ImageColumn.
However, I have a lot of Command inside the menu, and converting them to image, will take 50% with of my grid.
Will you improve performance rendering of MenuCommand ?
Thks,
Jerome
