I did the port of the grid, and made some layout adjustments to fit the touch environment, and it works pretty well on the emulator. Anyway, seems that emulator works much faster than the real device (at least on my machine - intel i7), and on my HTC 7Mozart, is almost impossible to use it: the grid is blocking for seconds when doing drag-drop, or resize, or totals etc. After my checks, the behind code for layout and style has low performance,by calling the same parts of the code over and over again (and I think this is related to memory leaks issues that most Silverlight users are complaining about AgDataGrid and slow performance for high number of columns situations). </p> <p>As a final result, I don't know if this is such a good idea after all. If you plan to have more than 5-6 columns, to start using a horizontal scrollbar, it starts to be very slow. </p> <p>Anyway, good article and good job...</p> <p><br /> </p> <p>Regards</p> http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx#comment5478 Florin Antoci http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx Fri, 11 Feb 2011 13:57:48 GMT RE: Building a DataGrid Control for Silverlight for Windows Phone - Part 2 <p>Windows Phone 7 promotes user experience, above anything else. The concept of a "datagrid" may not play very well in the mind of the user. Having a pivot of items or a master/detail with a progressive detail hierarchy is perhaps a better user experience.</p> <p> </p> <p>My 2 cents...</p> http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx#comment4507 indyfromoz http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:18:25 GMT RE: Building a DataGrid Control for Silverlight for Windows Phone - Part 2 <p>So this article can be summed up as...</p> <p>Download the AgDatagrid and attempt to port it yourself.</p> <p>Brilliant...</p> http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx#comment4504 Fallon http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:42:38 GMT RE: Building a DataGrid Control for Silverlight for Windows Phone - Part 2 Do you need editing capabilities, or is this for display only purposes? http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx#comment4500 Odi Kosmatos http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-DataGrid-Control-for-Silverlight-for-Windows-Phone-Part-2.aspx Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:18:39 GMT
