Hi, I recently bought Telerik controls. I am getting performance issue with radgrid.

  1. I implemented paging to the radgrid with 6000 records. And i created viewall option on rg402_ItemCreated to the radcombo. When i select viewall its taking 20 sec to bind the data to the grid and after that the brower gets stuck( both Firefox 3.6.4 and IE7) and displaying the error(Please find attached Image). Is there anyway to change the viewall option code to get the data fast. or is there anyway to improve the performance and decrease the time of records binding.

Here is my code.

.aspx code

style type="text/css"> 
    .rgPageFirst, .rgPagePrev, .rgPageNext, .rgPageLast 
    { 
        display: none !important; 
    } 
    div.RadGrid_Default .rgHeader, div.RadGrid_Default th.rgResizeCol 
    { 
        background-image: none; 
    } 
</style> 

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    function onRequestStart(sender, args) { 
        if (args.get_eventTarget().indexOf("ExportToExcelButton") >= 0 || 
                args.get_eventTarget().indexOf("ExportToWordButton") >= 0 || 
                args.get_eventTarget().indexOf("ExportToPdfButton") >= 0 || 
                args.get_eventTarget().indexOf("ExportToCsvButton") >= 0) { 

            args.set_enableAjax(false); 
        } 
    } 
</script>

Try the tips outlined in My Blog for increased performance on your RadGrid.

The blog basically outlines how to increase your paging performance by only grabbing the data it needs rather than binding to the entire table. Also make sure your SELECT statement is only grabbing the data you need in the GridView and not the extra fields that you don't need.

Since writing that article I've implemented a NestedViewTemplate that has it's own DataSource that gets created based on the record selected. That way when I DO want to see ALL of the table data, I'm only pulling ALL data from a single record rather than the entire table.

My team did performance tests on RadGrid vs some other highly featured 3rd party controls, and RadGrid was fastest at the time...so you made a good choice in controls.

The browser is your limitation. You'll have the same problem with any control. It's bad practice to show more than a useful amount of data on the screen at once.

6000 rows and 16 columns...that's probably over 9 Megs of HTML your browser has to parse thru just for your datagrid.

Don't give them a ViewAll option. If they want to search thru the data quickly, you could add search capabilities that filter the results.

If they really want all the data at once, what i do is provide a link near the grid that allows them to download all the grid in the data as an Excel file.

I agree that sending all the data is just overkill. Limit yourself to 5 - 7 columns and implement the Advanced Paging that I talked about. Then the NestedViewTemplate can give "MORE DATA" on a per record basis, and has it's own SQLDataSource inside the template. Then you hit the database a second time for specific data rather than returning ALL ROWS in a single massive select statement.

with 6000 records ???? i think it is something problem in your way of coding.because i have checked the radgrid with 1,50,000 records it worked fine but when i went to 2,00,000 it given some problem like what you mentioned above.

Ebin
hi Ebin,can you provide your sample code. So that i can implement in your way.
