Performance tip: Override PaneDesc

[TJ]

Here''s a speed enhancement that other users of this forum might find useful:

The Syncfusion source code (up to and including 3.0.1.0 at least) is filled with debug-trace
statements that expensively evaluate a "PaneDesc" property, then promptly discard it because the trace
flag is off.

If you don''t plan to turn the trace flag on, you can speed up the grid by overriding PaneDesc:

public class MyGridControl : GridControl
{
public override string PaneDesc
{
get
{
return "Whatever"; // Any invariant string
}
}
}

This is in the Open Issues list as Defect #43, but I thought I''d point out that there''s an easy
workaround.

Cheers,
Tom

Also, in my application I''ve overrided Update:

public override void Update() { }

to avoid repainting the grid too often while navigating with the arrow keys. Your mileage may vary...
