SCSF Smart Client application takes time to load
-
Hi, I have developed a smart client desktop application using SCSF. It has an MDI and MDI child forms opens over it(It is similar to windows menu based application using MDI) . The problem is that the MDI child forms (i.e. the views) take a few seconds to open and load. Is there any way of minimising the time it takes. The forms are having simple text boxes and labels and grids(which has two columns and is not populated during load) I call a webservice at form load and have tried to comment the service call; Even then it takes the same time so I have ruled out the possibility of service delay. Nothing else is done at the form load except the form is rendered All MDI child forms(views) are taking the same time. The application is stand alone not run remotely or checks for any updates on any server. I dont have knowledge of SCSF internals, and how SCSF does all the handling of smart parts etc. May be it might be tuned up to load the views faster or there is some way to make the CAB work faster which I am unaware of. Could not find the forum related to SCSF so posting it here, please suggest in case you have knowledge of SCSF message board in code project. Thanks in advance. Sakshi

SCSF uses reflection very heavily. Because of this reason performance is hit when trying to do what would seem the simplest of things. It is a very heavy framework and unless you really need it and are concerned about performance I would suggest an alternative.
