Pasting values in a StringConvertibleMatrix is rather slow

[mkommend]

This is especially an issue if more than 10,000 values are updated. My suspicion is that due to missing batch update methods every value must be set individually (which fires an event, updates the view, etc.).

StringConvertibleArray also has to be improved.

r9286:

• added new methods to the interface IStringConvertibleMatrix as well as two structs. Also the event ItemChanged has been changed to ItemsChanged
• class ValueTypeMatrix now implements IStringConvertibleMatrix instead of the classes which inherit from it
• small changes have been applied to a lot of classes to correctly implement the changed interface IStringConvertibleMatrix
• solution file, Build.cmd and PreBuildEvent.cmd have been added

Updating about 10,000 values now takes far below 1 second.

r9306:

• renamed the structs and methods in IStringConvertibleMatrix
• added MatrixValuesChangedEventArgs in IStringConvertibleMatrix
• added methods SetValues(MatrixValues<T>) in ValueTypeMatrix
• fixed bugs in StringConvertibleMatrixView: DataGridView has now at least one column and dataGridView_CellValidating does not set e.Cancel to true anymore.

r9308:

• added column names to the ValueTypeArray and StringArray
• added batch update methods to IStringConvertibleArray similar to methods in IStringConvertibleMatrix

Pasting values was improved with #2042.

The problem was the ToString method of ValueTypeMatrix/-Array and StringConvertibleMatrix /-Array. This has been fixed in #2042. Therefore, this ticket is obsolete.
