Using Virtual Mode with DataGridView

Question

I have a DataGridView which is typically populated with 40k-50k rows in the application. If I have so many rows, then the performance of the DataGridView takes a hit during selection of different rows. What is the best method to optimize the performance of the DataGridView ? I read about using Virtual Mode, but I am not sure how to implement it. Does turning VirtualMode to true take care of everything, or do we have to write our own handlers for when a row is needed to be shown?
