Hi
My biggest problem with IG controls it's huge amount of js files been transferred to client.
With Aikido the things even worse.
I have 14!!! ig js files + 2ms ajax.(And we don't getting to edit functionality of grid yet).
With sites having long roundtrip such grid will definitely bee a problem.
Thanks.
Anatoly
If you are seeing that kind slow down I would look at the server for compression to help reduce the problem. Plus I would really look into why you the clients are not caching the files after the 1st trip. Using IIS 2003 the native compression is a real pain for hosting multiple sites where comression can cause problems in some sites, as in my case. My first page load is almost 1.4mb with all the js files and html. I install a program called zip enable from port 80 software. It dropped it down to 480k. The cost is only $150 USD and worth every penny. Also pop over to http://www.nikhilk.net/ and look at the web dev helper. That can help you track down what files and exactly the file sizes that are coming at you.
I have to ask the question....
Is IG Netadvantage for ASP.NET really suitable for a Shared Hosting Environment or any internet based deployment?
I was using 2007 vol 2, but I had to pull everything apart from the Charts. Page sizes which were all less than 40K started exceeding 200k mainly ig code files such as webresource.axd.
Now usually most of my page size is taken up with images, but this much code per page has been and always will be totally unacceptable. Whole operating systems have been written with less code.
I can accept a 30% to 50% size overhead when using something like NetAdvantage, but 300% to 500% you must be joking!
