Hi,

I am using following method to fill Gridview. The performance is too slow. What is the best way to fill GridView to increase performance.

        Dim cmd As OracleCommand, dt as new datatable
        cmd = dbCommand(conn, sSql)
        Dim a As New OracleDataAdapter(cmd)
        Dim dt As New DataTable
        a.Fill(dt)
        GridView.DataSource = dt
        GridView.DataBind()

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

hi there.. the method you are using is the correct.. what do you mean by slow?? if you try to fill the grid with a lot of data it will be slow...

How many rows of data are you trying to load into the GridView?

yes, filling 10k rows and pagesize is 20 and when user click on page 2, 3, 4 and so on, its taking time to fill 10k rows in datatable and to grid.

Is there any best method for this, i mean instead of filing 10k rows each time when user click on each page.

Is datareader is faster than datatable? Infact, i don't need datatable to populate grid. Can we populate grid using datareader? Is it faster than datatable?

Thanks

is paging enabled on the grid?? then is not filling all the records on the grid, only the actual page.. so maybe there is other things that made the page slow??

I had a similar situation to this although my total record count was 68K rows. In my particular situation I was working with Client Data so was able to circumvent this problem by setting up a 'Tab' type system so that the grid loaded clients whose last name began with A, B, C, D etc based upon which tab was clicked.

What I might first suggest is see if it is the amount of data you are trying to bring forward or if you have some other on page elements working against you. So execute a query that will only return you, say, 50 rows of data from your entire result set. If this speeds things up you are simply loading to much data into the grid for it to be effecient.

If this does not speed things up you have something else that is slowing you down.

you r correct, paging is enabled.

I observed that its taking time to fill datatable.

Instead of loading data in datatable, can we load grid from datareader? Is that fast?
