VirtualMode for DataGrid

[arjunsingri]

Hi,
Is there any way we can implement just-in-time data loading for the
DataGrid control in the .NET Compact framework. It is possible to do
the above in the case of DataGridView control in .NET framework 2.0.
Here is the article which explains this process:

Thanks,
Arjun

NETCF's grid works this way already. In fact, fetching data for visible rows
only is the only way it functions.

So go ahead and implement data source which only retrieves what DataGrid
asks for.

If you're using SQL Mobile, SqlCeResultSet class does that already.



I would not recommend it for SQL Client because you need to maintain open
connection at all times which is bad for SQL Server performance.

Also, connection might go out for mobile devices and your application would
stop working if that happens.
