WPF performance rendering tweak

Question

Hi ,

I would like to increase the present rendering speed of an application by manifolds.

It basically has to do with changing colors of  textblocks which happen to be numerous.

Due to the high performance requirements of such a process the application gives the impression

of being in a hanged-state .Can we find a better rendering technique?

Thanks,

Regards,

Murtaza.

Could you elaborate that what exactly you mean by better rendering technique ? I dont think your issue is becuase of rendering algorithms.

Although one settings is there in WPF that gives you a slight control over where rendering is done (hardware or software) like CompositionTarget.RenderMode = HardwareOnly.

You can also use the caching options(check the RenderOptions class) and try to make the colors used as frozen. You should take a look at how to optimize a WPF application performance in below links :
