databound autocomplete ComboBox

R

rasta

i've a an order entry page where one of the controls a ComboBox is populated
with approx 700kb of txt.
the txt is customer names.
i am looking for ways to improve the perfomrance, the bottleneck seems to be
the rendering of the page.

the ComboBox looks up the cust name only.

when there are less than a 100 cust records, perf is ok
3000 and above perf gets slugish.

any suggestion/alternatives is much appreciated.

thank you.

You could add a second drop down with letters from A to Z and then
depending on which letter they choose you populate the dropdown with
only names that start with the corresponding letter.

Or you could have a Popup, customer selection page, where you display
the names in a datagrid/datalist also with a [A..Z] selector to make
the list smaller...

hi and thanks for your feedback...

the pop-up option i've already gone ahead with.

your 1st suggestion may not be so feasible as this is an order enty page and
perf/speed is very important. i.e., the user has to get thru each page
super fast

thanks
