Hi,
The Datagrid is to slow to load. (It uses 250-300 ms to databind if I have 5 columns and 20 rows). I need to build a lightweight datagrid, or download one if it exists. I think it should be possible to make this faster, as it only takes 10 ms to databind the same collection to a ListBox with templated columns).
Where to start to create my own control? Have anyone created theire own small datagrid they want to sheare?

Hi
It's not a custom DataGrid but hope it can give you some ideas:

Thank you. The example helped me alot. I have now created my lightweight datagrid:) The only problem is that it is as slow as the original:( It seems like it is not possible to make this fast as it seems like Silverlight is slow when it comes to constructing a hierarchy (tree) of visual elements. I really hope this is faster in the release version.

Oops. I was wrong. My time measure wasn't very good. My lightweight datagrid control is at least twice as fast as the original datagrid. Maybe Silverlight is not slow creating a large hierarchy of visual elements. Maybe there is just something strange going on in the datagrid making it really slow.

Hi nyhetsgrupper,
maybe you can tell me how you managed it to make a lightweight datagrid.
I have a datagrid with 100 rows and 8 columns. 7 columns are templated beacause they represent the weekdays. The rest of the grid will be populated with scheduledate (still have to make it). SL takes already seconds to build the datagrid so maybe you have some good advice?
