Hi,

A simple question to ask-
Why does a pop up window take more time to open when it is opened for the first time than the same pop up opened for the second time.
Can you tell me what causes this and how can we fix it.

Show you code first. We can not judge directly. Generally this doesn't happen, if happening then there might be something in your code which is making it load slow.

Is it ASP.Net or Windows application?

Could you share the code?

There is nothing to fix. The first time you load a popup it has to be constructed in memory and then displayed. When it is unloaded it will often remain cached in memory and can be loaded faster on subsequent calls.

I am pretty much sure that this would be the WPF framework, where the pop ups and other execution that require to build a GUI require some time for their first execution and then, the process is cached so the second time it doesn't take up much time for the GUI to build and show up.

Not only the GUIs, Windows but other controls such as Buttons also show the same behaviour. If you click on them for the first time, the GUI takes a while to come back into action, whereas for the second time it doesn't much time.

So, the conclusion is that there is no problem with your code or the Window itself. For the first time, the code has to be pushed in the memory for execution, and for the second time the code is already available so it takes less time.
