showfilterrow with list or checkedlist

[ballmwParticipant]

Hello,

I’m finding that using list or checkedlist with the showfilterrow causes a considerable slowdown with both rendering the table initially or hiding/showing the filter row.

This is a modified version of your example:

I have a table in our app that has about 25 columns and it takes well over a second to render the table. It seems to have something to do with the drop down list widget that is used.

Is there any other alternative to this? Any way to make this work better for the user?

Thanks,

ballmw

Hi ballmw,

If you use DropDownList as filter, it will take more time compared to using a TextBox as a filter.

Yes, these are dropdown lists, is there any way to mitigate this performance issue?

I’ve tried rendering the table then call showfilterrow after the table is loaded but that kind of locks up the table until the filters are enabled.

Hi ballmw,

If you’re building a Grid with 25 DropDownLists, the Grid will have to render these and it will take time. If you do not like the performance of that approach, you can use a simple filter with TextBox.
