Hi,

Just wanted to know if paging could be enabled for Data Grid in Windows Forms using LLBLGen Pro like XPO by DevExpress.

The database size is huge & is hosted on webserver. I wanted to enable paging so that interface doesn't hangs up!

I'm not familier with XPO, so could you explain what feature does it provide in this matter.

You can find out about Instant Feedback UI feature of DevExpress at http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WinForms/Grid/instant-feedback.xml

I found paging mechanisms for win grid on code project. The URLs are below

1. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/grid/DataGridPaging.aspx

2. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/Gridview_Pagination.aspx

I wanted to know if there is some built in paging mechanism for windows applications & if there is any, how to implement paging in windows data grid using llblgen pro?

LLBLGen Pro doesn't provide a datasource for Win Forms, that's only available for Web Forms.

It's also unnecessary, as you should use BindingSource to define your UI and at runtime set the BindingSource's DataSource object to the collection you've fetched.

It's a bit more work, but it also gives you more control over what's going on. In general this is a good thing
