Hi,
Currently I use the Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid in my web application. I develop my application in VS 2008 and .net Framework 2.0.50727. I used the ultrawebgrid and bind it to sqlDataSource. I also set allow paging for ultrawebgrid. When I retrieved 20000 records, it will takes me about 3 minutes or sometimes it does not come out any results ( look like still running). But when I retrieved 150 records, it will takes me about 5 seconds. I am wondering that whether ultraWebgrid has the performance issue. When I replace ultrawebgrid with gridview, When I retrieved 20000 records, it only takes 5 seconds. Because I will use the pretty user interface from ultrawebgrid, I hope anybody can help me solve the problem or does anyone have the same problem before. By the way, I have another issue, why ultrawebgrid everytime need to rebind again but gridview we don't need to bind again, how can we get the records from ultrawebgrid without rebinding for postback.
I put my test source code as follows:
In Web.config, you can set up
<connectionStrings> <add name="results_developmentConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=Server Name;Initial Catalog=Database Name;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=XXXX;Password=XXXX"/> </connectionStrings>
in GridTest.aspx.vb
Partial Class GridTest Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load SqlDMC_Main.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("results_developmentConnectionString2").ToString() UltraWebGridDMC_Main.DataBind() End SubEnd Class
In GridTest. aspx

My standard grid settings are:
DisplayLayout AllowColSizingDefault:FreeAllowColumnMovingDefault:OnServerAllowSortingDefault:OnClient (You might want to try OnServer)HeaderClickActionDefault:SortSingleLoadOnDemand:XMLRowsRange:50 (How Many Rows The Grid Shows At A Time)SeletTypeCellDefault:SingleSelectTypeRowDefault:SingleSortingAlgorithmDefault:BubbleSortStationaryMargins:HeaderTableLayout:FixedUseFixedHeaders:TrueXMLLoadOnDemand:Virtual
Behavior:Browser:XML
When I used this method, I was able to turn off paging because of the XmlLoadOnDemand. I played around with some of the different options to get to this configuration. Just ran a quick test and using this setup, my dataset I am returning has 11k rows. This loads and shows the first set of rows in around 2-3 seconds. Since I am also working with a large amount of data, I use a filter row to minimize database hits. Hope this helps.
thanks for the suggestion i was having the exact same issue the original poster was having, this really sped up my databinding if 16K + rows.
however, the issue i am having now, is the frame height is rendering for the full dataset instead of just the displayed rows, any suggestions?
It does not work after I set up my grid like what you said.
