is virtual scrolling better than paging?
Hi Klay,
Neither of these is inherently better. They just give different feels to the end user. One clearly delineates the data by page. Virtual Scrolling gives the illusion of all the data being on the client at once, but it is fetched bits at a time as a user scrolls. It really is up to you. Both of these features should work with all other grid features. The one caveat is that Virtual Scrolling is not supported in the WebHierarchicalDataGrid.

Is anything like 'Virtual Scrolling' available for webdatagrids?
Hi Seanham011,
Virtual Scrolling is a behavior for the WebDataGrid that has been available sometime. As I said, it is just not supported in the WebHierarchicalDataGrid. Just add the behavior to the WDG and you should be good to go.

once I looked at my WDG attribute tags I realized I'd already had Virtual Scrolling 'implemented' in my webdatagrids - this is what was causing my 950-record wdg control to freeze, whenever the user would 'scroll' down more than 30 or so records (not the behavior we wanted to deliver to the customers) Once I set the VirtualScrolling tags to enabled="false" this took care of the control-tab freezing up
