  Hello,
  
  I have a situation where I load a RadRating control alongside a video to allow users to rate it.  I have a client side method attached to the "OnClientRating" event to capture the user entry and save it into the database.
  
  Below it, I have a grid of other videos.  When a user clicks on the one of the videos in the grid, I get the current rating value for that video and try to set it to the rating control via the "Rating.set_value" client side api method.  However, this is causing the control to fire the "OnClientRating" event again, with the current value as the rating.  This causes a new "rating", but it was not initiated by the user, but rather via the the "set_value" method.
  
  Is there a way to NOT fire the OnClientRating event when executing the "set_value" method?  Or, is there another way I should approach this?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello Amir,
  
  Try setting args._cancel=true to not fire the OnClientRating event in Javascript.
  JS:

  <script type="text/javascript">

  function OnClientRating(sender, args)

  {
  //your code and condition

    args._cancel=true;

  }

  </script>

  
  Thanks,
  Princy.
