SLOW SHOWING WINDOWS FORM
Posted on 2012-12-28
Hi All,
I have experienced of slow showing windows form, because I have to load huge data to datagridview or other tasks.
I want to show the form first then after that loading data to gridview.
How could I solve this problem ?
Thank you.

Wire up the Shown() event of the Form, and place your code to load the grid in there. You could also use the BackgroundWorker() control to do the query in the background...

Hi Idle_Mind,
-Wire up the Shown() event of the Form

Double click on the form and select the Shown() event. Put your code in there.
(my code is just a sample you need to get the event from the IDE.
Public Sub Shown()
'Load Database code
End Sub
Here is how to use background worker: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc221403%28v=vs.95%29.aspx

Select the Form. In the Properties Pane, bottom right by default, click on the "Lightning Bolt" icon. Scroll down and find the "Shown" entry and double click to the right of it.

you can use asynchronous data loading. check http://emoreau.com/Entries/Articles/2006/11/MARS-and-Asynchronous-ADONet.aspx

Hi Idle_Mind and themrrobert,
There is no big difference with between shown and load event.
Thank you.

Thank you.
You could also try forcing a repaint before the other loading code continues:
Me.Show()
Application.DoEvents()
' ... rest of the loading code ...

Hi emoreau,
Where to put the asynchronous data loading, at what event in order to make the data appear after form has shown?

you can call the BeginExecuteXXX directly from the form_load event but I would create a LoadData method (called by the form_load event for that purpose.

- I am sorry, miss your point. BeginExecuteXXX at load event but LoadData at load event also ?
Thank you.

create a LoadData method. this method will contain the BeginExecuteXXX and everything to get the results.
Call this method from the form_load event
