Controls not appearing in list

[Zanyth]

I'm trying out the RadControls to see how the ajax features work (mainly thinking of switching to this for the wysiwyg editor ;) )

After adding a RadAjaxManager to the page, and then clicking on "Configure Ajax Manager", no controls that are on the page are listed.

However, manually adding

            <telerik:RadAjaxManager id="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
                <AjaxSettings>
                    <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="btnSave">
                        <UpdatedControls>
                            <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="btnSave"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>
                        </UpdatedControls>
                    </telerik:AjaxSetting>
                </AjaxSettings>
            </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Will allow it to work just fine. I'm trying to avoid having to type in all that code however, else I'd just use the Gaia controls for updating my buttons, and I'm of the mind that I'd like to switch over to RadControls

Any ideas?

P.S: I'm currently using the .NET Framework 3.5 Beta along with Visual Studio 2008 B2, could that possibly be the issue?

Hi Zanyth,

Thank you for contacting us.

Yes, I believe this is VS 2008-related problem, but the latest Prometheus AJAX Manager designer (v2_918) should support VS 2008 Beta 2. The former "Orcas" was not supported in the first version of Prometheus RadAjax though.

The only one similar issue we are aware of currently is when the manager (or RadAjaxManager proxy respectively) resides in a content page of MasterPage or a WebUserControl as in the following demos:

http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/prometheus/Ajax/Examples/Manager/MasterPage/DefaultCS.aspx
http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/prometheus/Ajax/Examples/Manager/UserControl/DefaultCS.aspx

We will address those for a subsequent Prometheus version.

Is this the case on your side? If not, can you please share more details about your application?

All the best,

Thank you for your reply, the control is in a content page of a MasterPage

I am having the same problem but with VS2008, not the beta. Both the RadAjaxMangers (ASP.NET & Prometheus) and I downloaded the new controls yesterday and they do not display the controls when I select "Configure Ajax Manager"/

Hi Jerry,

Unfortunately we have to admit RadAjax designers are failing in content page or content place holder of master page. Please, use manager in the MasterPage similar to the following demo:

Thanks Konstantin for your reply,

However, I don't get it or it still doesn't work. I looked at the demos and tried what I thought it showed but it does not work.

What control(s) do I place in the master page?

What control(s) do I place in the content pane?

I have a simple master page. No controls on the master page.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

As my colleague explained - this functionality is not yet implemented in the control and in order to be able to set the control relations declaratively through the RadAjaxManager designer, you would have to use RadAjaxManagerProxy in your content page.
The other approach is having the AjaxManager in the MasterPage and using FindControl() method to locate the controls in content page and add them programmatically to the AjaxSettings.
