Hi
I'm having performance issues during development in VS2005 using the webgrid with the hierarchical data control. I suspect that I may need more RAM & CPU power. Is there a recommended specification for using these controls?
Regards
For any VS2005 development, I'd use as much RAM as I could, preferably 4GB (the max for Windows XP). A multi-core CPU also makes a big difference, but I wouldn't pay for the top-of-the-line model; second- or third-best is good enough.
What makes my machine really scream is the pair of hard drives configured as a RAID-0 array. Disk access is a much bigger bottleneck than most people realize.
Hello,
Speed really depends on the amount of data and the complexity of the SQL query you have. If for some reasons there are too many rows in the datasource that you need to bind at once to the grid, then you can consider paging (both in the SQL query and in the grid) or using AJAX load on demand scenarios, where you fetch items as users request them (and not all data rows at once).
You can take a look at our samples browser, and especially in the AJAX / Grid sections for samples how can this be achieved.
