Data Binding Performance on forms containing many controls

[Ron]

Hi,

I have a Windows form which contains roughly 100 controls on multiple tabs.
I am data binding to a List<collection at runtime:
CompanyMasterData company = m_CompanyListCollection.Find((CompanyMasterData
co) =co.CompanyMasterDataID.Equals(companyID));
if (company == null)
{
company = new CompanyMasterData();
company.CompanyMasterDataID = Guid.NewGuid();
company.ChangeType = apx_CustomInterfaces.eDMLChange.Insert;
m_CompanyListCollection.Add(company);
}
CurrentCompany = company;
bindingSource.DataSource = CurrentCompany;

The problem is that the binding process is taking roughly 30 seconds. The
query is fast and takes less than a second it is strictly the binding that
is taking the remaining 29 seconds. I built a tracer and noticed that the
property mutator (SET) is getting hit 7 times each for each property in my
custom object. The first two times are Null values and occur within the
InitializeComponent code block. The remaining 5 times all hit the mutator
with the same value. I cant figure out why they are getting hit so many
times. It takes roughly 4 seconds to set the properties for all of the
controls...so multiply that times 7 and it takes 28 seconds to bind the
form.

Any suggestions on how I can improve the performance on this form?

Thanks,
Ron
