TreeviewAdv control performance issue

[Administrator]

We use winforms Treeview control to show all the data in tree format. We decided to replace the winforms control with syncfusion TreeviewAdv control. After replacing the control we noticed that the loading the tree is very slower compare to winforms control. I debugged to find the reason. We found that it is taking long time between 2 method calls. what I mean is if there are 3 methods in the callstack before getting into each method it is delaying. Might be processing something. we checked the cpu memory. After calling the method, before going into the method cpu usage is getting up to 60% from 2%.
Could you please let us know what is going wrong with the treeviewadv control. Is is urgent.

Thanks.

Hi Rajendra,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

While adding more than one node to the TreeViewAdv control, calling the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate method will improve performance of the control. And also setting SuspendExpandRecalculate property to true will also improve the performance of the TreeViewAdv. Please refer to the below online tutorial that illustrates this:

If I have misunderstood your requirement, could you please let me know in which scenario actually the issue exists so that I could work out in depth and provide you a better solution at the earliest?

Please let me know if any concerns.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have already tried using Beginupdate() and EndUpdate() methods to improve the performance.
And I also used SuspendExpandRecalculate. However, I do not see any improvement in the tree performance. The tree has got around 8000 nodes. Ofcourse very big number. But is there no way to get out of this issue?
But it is working very well if I switch my code back to winforms treeview control.

If you feel it is possible to improve the performance, Could you please send me a sample where it does have a tree having more than 8000 nodes and loading faster comparatively equal faster to winforms treeview control.

Hi Rajendra,

Thanks for the update.

You can improve the performance of TreeViewAdv by setting RecalculateExpansion to false. Please refer the sample below which takes only 15 ms to load 8000 nodes when clicking on TreeviewAdv at runtime which is comparatively equal faster to winforms treeview control.

Hi,

I am using syncfusion 6.1.0.34. I do not see any property like RecalculateExpansion on TreeviewAdv control. I see a method like SuspendExpandRecalculate. I tried with SuspendExpandRecalculate setting it to true. But no use. Could you please tell me which version RecalculateExpansion property was added in? How can update my existing version with new version which has RecalculateExpansion property.

Thanks,
