This hasn't solved my issue. I'm running the eval version of ClientUI 2011. My dev environment is basically unusable with your controls. Every click there is a delay of ~40 seconds where the screen freezes. I'm running vs 2010 sp1. I'm running on 2.1 ghz core 2 duo with 3gb ram. windows 7 64 bit. suggestions?

Thanks,

This solved my issue. One little note however : there is no Silverlight key underneath the [Installed Version], instead there are 2 keys : Silverlight 3 & Silverlight 4.

After adding the key Silverlight and the string value "LoadDesignerExt" it worked as expected.

Kind regards,

JohnV

Hello John,

Yes, we have added an option to turn off the designer extension since ClientUI 4. The option was mentioned in the documentation as well.

Let me paste the steps here for your convenience.

Options to turn off property designer extension
ClientUI includes a designer extension that parses and loads the documentation from the assembly's XML comment file. The process also adds category and other designer-related attributes to each property when the designer is loading the designer for that particular assembly. The combination of these property-related processes may cause the Visual Studio designer to load slower particularly during compile time when the page contains a number of controls from different ClientUI assemblies.

In the case that the property description and categoryare less important in your development,you may choose to turn off the property designer extension to improve the Visual Studio designer loading time. To turn off the property designer extension, please follow the instructions below.

Open Registry Editor

Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intersoft Solutions\ClientUI\[InstalledVersion]\Silverlight. For examples, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intersoft Solutions\ClientUI\5.0.5000\Silverlight

Add a new string value named "LoadDesignerExt" and set the value to 0.

Note: For x64 operating system, please locate the registry node under the Wow6432Node branch.

Hope this helps.

Dear,

I'm having the same issue with the new release of ClientUI (v5).

It takes sometimes between 20 to 40 secs to refresh the designer in Silverlight.

Is there a work-around or setting that can be changed to solve this ?

Kind regards,

JohnV

Thanks for the quick response Jimmy, yeah I think that if this was an option that could be turn on or off via a menu that would be a very good solution.

Thanks

Terry,

The design loading speed seems to be related with our designer extension that populates the controls property with description and proper attributes. It doesn't seem to have relation with the control performance itself.

This automatically justifies the performance when compared with non ClientUI pages or with other vendors controls as they haven't implemented designer extension yet, AFAIK.

If you can live without the property description and specific attributes like category, this may speed up the designer loading. Let me know if this is desirable and we may provide an option to disable the extension in the upcoming release.

Hope this helps,
Jimmy

I have been trying the ClientUI tool set for a few weeks now and I have noticed that when I switch from code view to designer view the amount of time that the designer takes to redraw takes considerably more time with the ClientUI then views based on nonClientUI controls, has anybody experienced this before and are there ways to improve this refresh time ?

I have two WPF solutions with the same form with the same number of controls, just one with ClientUI and the other with another vendor, the ClientUI takes just about 3 times longer to redraw.

Thanks for the support that I have received so far.
