I am in the process of converting from UltraWebGrid to the most current version of the WebDataGrid.

The version we are using is: 14.1.20141.2150

Because the WebDataGrid does not default to at least the width of the header, we have to dynamically set the width of the column. We dynamically set the width of the column based on the width of the header text and the width of the generated column. We do this on the grid's client side Initialize event.

One of our grids has a large number of columns, 50+. The method we use for dynamically setting the widths is performing extremely slow for this grid. I have determined that it is due to the set_width() method taking a little over a second to run every time it is called.

I have stripped out a basic representation of the large grid and have attached it in the sample below. In the sample you will see that it will take anywhere from 45 seconds to a whole minute for the column widths to calculate. Although this is a large grid, a minute long load overhead is unacceptable for our requirements.

Are there any more efficient methods for setting the width of the column dynamically on the client side?

The set_width() method appears to recalculate the scroll bar and all the other columns of the grid. Is there a method to skip these additional calculations and just update the width of the columns? Specifically is there a set_width method that bypasses the OnResizing event?

Thanks,

Mason
