I have search functionality in my winform application .Once the user clicks search,respective data gets bound to the grid.Right now when i search for around 65000 records, it works fine. But when i try to bind more than that, error comes up . I use WCF to retrieve data from db. I get the following error ' The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error'(which i a wcf error) . In the grid i am binding more than 50 columns, i tried reducing the no of columns retrieved , then i was able to bind more than 85000 records. Is this a limitation in wingrid 11.1 version. Does further version of infragistics provide with the flexiblity to bind large vloume of data...

Hi,
That error message appears to be coming from the back end or your data source. That's not a grid error.
The WinGrid has no built-in row limit. There will, of course, be machine limitations based on available memory and system resources, but there should not be a problem with 85,000 rows. I've bound the ground to several hundred thousand rows, myself, with no problems.
Having said that... no human user could possibly deal with such a large set of data in the UI, anyway. So perhaps you might want to consider displaying a message to the user that they need to refine their criteria to narrow the number of records returned by the search in a case where the search results are so large.
