Also known as background data virtualization. Loading time, network bandwidth or other factors often make loading entire datasets into a datagrid impractical. Instead of using the outdated paging technique created for '90s web sites, which offers a poor user experience, you can use Asynchronous Stealth Paging.
This provides the user with the full scrollbar experience, instant loading, and instant "next page" or "previous page" experience. This is performed automatically by the datagrid, and supports grouping and sorting. Uses background data retrieval and active pre-fetching to provide a far better user experience than paging or regular stealth paging.

Uses WCF to load the data.
