DataGrid data limit

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there any limit to the number of rows a datagrid can display?

Thanks,

I don't know the limit, but I think the limiting factor is the maximum size
of the data object you want to show. The DataGrid displays only the data
that is currently visible. So if you have for example a DataTable with 10000
rows that you want to bind to a DataGrid, initally the grid will only fetch
the data of the first xx rows (depending how many rows your grid can show at
a time).

The only limit on the size of your data object is the size of your
computer's memory.

Hi,

I have bind it to around 5K records, a big waste of bandwidth and processor
I think but the client wanted to see ALL THE DATA

Now if we are talking about getting things to the limit, it may have a few
points where it can be a limit. for example if the grid keeps its state then
the _VIEWSTATE variable will grow a lot, if it's kept in a string you could
overflow the # of chars in a string.

Cheers,
