There are two major drivers for Oracle db in asp.net. One is microsoft’s OracleClient and the other is Oracle’s OracleClient. I thought that Oracle’s OracleClient package was more powerful and reliable than microsoft’s because Oracle knows its own product more than anybody.

However, it turned out that Oracle didn’t know .net framework well enough to implement what they originally intended to achieve.

Today I had to handle 18528 records and populate tree menu out of it in asp.net page. At first I used Infragistics Ultra Web Tree and met performance issue. The tree view that I need to implement has 2 levels down. This page that I have been working on will have couple more tree view components, which will eventually have almost same amount of records for each.

So I had to find alternative way or technology to go around the perforamnce issue. I found one resource and this is what I found.
I haven’t used this web control yet but I will write about its performance.

UPDATE (2005/06/07): MS IE webcontrol’s tree view control has worse performance issue than Infragistics. First it added too much viewstate encryption code to html page. Second it take too much time to response click event. I am not sure if I can implement the page with current MS technology unless it’s windows level application. Okay it’s research time again… sigh.
