We've noticed that a webgrid with around 1000+ items really starts to slow down with IE 8 but hasn't really been affected on IE 7. This seems to be a problem both on load and on mouse over. Can you confirm that if we upgrade to a later version that you've addressed this issue?
and if so is the upgrade path to 2009 going to be a problem. Or can we just upgrade to the latestest 2008 patches?
This sounds like a scenario that was fixed in a service release for NetAdvantage for .NET 2009 Volume 1. This is the earliest version for which we're targeting support for Internet Explorer 8. The maintenance period of NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Volume 1 expired prior to the release of IE 8, so upgrading to 2009 Volume 1 or later is likely your best option.
i've tested the new webgrid 9.1.20091.1015 and tested it on IE8 and it actually loads slower then our current build with 2008 controls.
When is your next patch release? Hopefully you'll have some fixes in there.
The version you've mentioned is the volume release build. The currently available service release build of our ASP.NET controls is 9.1.20091.2101. Installing a service release atop of NetAdvantage for .NET 2009 Volume 1 is needed to get the IE 8 compatibility updates we made to the controls. The "even slower" behavior you mentioned is one of the issues that was present in the volume release that we've fixed in a service release.
So long as you've registered your license key, you can download this service release from the My Keys and Downloads page of our website. (If you don't have a license key, you can submit a support request to ask Developer Support to provide you with a link, since this version is still available for trial download.)
You can also keep up to date with our future service releases from the Service Releases page of our website.
there is a message there "Note: We've recently released 2009 Vol. 2 of our Windows Forms and WPF controls. When downloading a packagethat also includes ASP.NET or Silverlight controls, please be aware that these controls are currently in their 2009Vol. 1 release." which makes me think that there weren't any changes to asp.net... either way i'll give it a shot
