Hi forum,
i got a problem when binding a listview against the Nortwind customers table (any table with 10 + cols). The rendering is very slow, slower than using an update panel to refresh the whole gridview.
So, i post my code and hope there is something wrong on it. Sorry for the long post, but put the initial data there was the olny way to make sure any one can just download it to a Atlas App folder and run it.
I tried to follow the examples provided, so i think the code is good, just with more cols because all the databind samples are with just a few cols. I'd like to know the opinion of the Atlas team about binding to tabular data.

html>hello.
well, i wouldn't say that it's a lot slower...i'd say that with listview you're seeing it being rendered as it's being generated (though in my machine it looks like it's rendering 4 rows at a time). when you use the panel, everything is replaced at once and i think that is why you don't seen it being rendered...
Hi Luis,
in a normal sample you would have to add the time to retrieve the data.
Here render 5 rows at a time by design, but just to render 5 rows take longer than the update panel to connect to the server and render the 10 rows. you call that not slow.
i think the problem it′s with the templates, if you override the render method of the listview control and build table dinamically, it works like a champ.
what make me suspicious is the lack of any information regarding tabular data and tables in the Atlas docs, also there is not substitute for the gridview control what is the most important ASP.NET databound control.
Please, can some one in the Atlas team explain the plans about this matter
hello again.
hum...interesting...the only thing i'm seeing here is that it renders 4 rows at a time, but those 4 rows are rendered as a block (ie, they all appear at the same time). that's why i said it wasn't slow...
