Hi Gregory, 

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Components.

.Can you speed up window display? (form10 -  18s and Form2 -5s) It is too long now.	To show the form window immediately after the button click, use “Form.Shown” event instead of “Form.Loaded” event.  We have modified your sample based on this. Also, please refer the below MSDN documentation for more details.  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.shown(v=vs.110).aspx

We have included this code in “Button3” click event.    string reportPath = @"../../Report1.rdlc";  reportWriter.ReportPath = reportPath;  reportWriter.ReportProcessingMode = Syncfusion.ReportWriter.ProcessingMode.Local;  reportWriter.DataSources.Clear();  reportWriter.DataSources.Add(new Syncfusion.Windows.Reports.ReportDataSource { Name = "DataSet1", Value = this.productBindingSource3 });    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();  reportWriter.Save(stream, WriterFormat.PDF);  PdfDocumentView pdfViewer = new PdfDocumentView();  pdfViewer.Load(stream);  System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog printDialog = new System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog();    if ((bool)printDialog.ShowDialog())  {  printDialog.PrintDocument(pdfViewer.PrintDocument.DocumentPaginator, "PDF PRINTER");  }    We have modified your sample based on this and please find the sample from the below location.

Hi Vinoth
Thank you for your answer.
1. Form.Shown -it's faster. But can you still accelerate the second stage of file opening  Modified.rdlc

Hi Gregory, 

  

The loading delay occurred due to serialization and de-serialization codes used in your application before opening a report in our report designer. Also, you have customized the image of our report designer report items in ribbon, so it takes time to load the report completely. Can you perform serialization of report in different event or in control loaded event and open the report to reduce the delay.

Hi Gregory, 

  

We have reduced the time delay by calling the report serialization function in report designer control loaded event. As per the suggestion we have modified the sample and it will be available from the below download location.
