Destroy On Close functionality

[Yusuf Nazami]

Hi,

I am using Rad window to host a control which is sending a request periodically to the backend for fetching data. Now my initial understanding was that when I close the RadWindow the window gets destroyed which is actually not the case. The control is in active and keeps on sending calls to the server even when the container Rad Window has been closed.

Now I see some functionality of this sort in Rad Window for ASP.Net as documented on the blog here
http://blogs.telerik.com/supportdept/posts/09-06-04/common_radwindow_issues_and_their_solution.aspx

How to achieve the functionality of DestroyOnClose as in Rad Windows for ASP.Net controls in Rad Window for Silverlight? I couldn't find the flag available in the Silverlight Rad Window control?

Thanks & Regards,
Yusuf

Hi Yusuf,

 The RadWindow for Silverlight is not destroying when closed, because it doesn't need to - it is just a Silverlight control and when you don't have references to it, the Silverlight GC will destroy it (like it happens with all of the controls). If you need to do some additional clean-up when the RadWindow is closed (like stopping a regular task) you could use the Closed event of the RadWindow control.
