Loading data and splash screen time

Question

Hello,

I am loading data to the app using such code now:

private async void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)         
{ 
	await CreateDataBaseIfNotExists(); //creates database if it doesn't already exists.
	await LoadData(); //loads data to DataGrid
}

But this method causes that Splash Screen is showed to long.

I would like to load data after the app is loaded or (better) start loading during splash screen time and finish it after splash screen is hidden.

Is that possible in uwp?

Hi @BitSmithy ,

Let me summarize this question.

I would like to load data after the app is loaded or (better) start loading during splash screen time and finish it after splash screen is hidden. Is that possible in uwp?

You can try to use data binding to do this, read only the first 200 rows at the beginning, and then read the rest in the loaded event. You can use OFFSET FETCH in SQL to query.

No need to delete events or update data, data binding will do it for you.

Thank you.
