Hey,
I'm trying to evaluate the capabilities of the grid to handle realtime streaming information(financial info) and the performance is kind of choppy. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for increasing performance. You can check out the attached solution, it is pretty barebones and straightforward.
Thanks,
Boyd
Have you taken a look at the WinGrid Performance Guide?
Yes, I have used that guide in the past and it has definitely helped to reduce memory usage and increase performance in my grid based applications. I think I employed every possible suggestion in my simple demo from that guide.
It looks like my demo is close to maxing out the performance of the grid, yet I am not even close to performing updates as required by a realtime financial ticking application.
Every 200 milliseconds, I update all of the properties for 250 random objects and fire a single INotifyPropertyChanged event for each object when it is updated. In addition I have summaries for each decimal property. You could certainly imagine a case where I would have 1000+ rows in the grid with 100+ properties each firing INotifyPropertyChanged events when they are changed most likely at a rate faster than every 200 milliseconds. I'm just curious if there is a suggested method of performing realtime update functionality with the grid or if I've simply pushed it to the boundaries.
