FindTabByUrl and Session

[robertw102]

I've noticed that the RadTabStrip FindTabByUrl method does not find the tab if the session id exists in the page url. If the session is removed from the page url, the tab with the corresponding url is found and can then be selected. The session state mode I have is set to AutoDetect, so this would only happen if the user has cookies disabled, but I want the experience to be the same regardless.

Is this bug with RadTabStrip or is their a way for me to avoid this situation from occurring, other than using cookie-only sessions, which is something I don't want to do.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this issue. The demo indeed doesn't work with Cookieless session. The code must be modified a bit to accommodate this scenario:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // ApplyAppPathModifier will add the session ID if we're using Cookieless session.
    string urlWithSessionID = Response.ApplyAppPathModifier(Request.Url.PathAndQuery);
    RadTab tab = RadTabStrip1.FindTabByUrl(urlWithSessionID);
    if (tab != null)
    {
        tab.SelectParents();
        tab.PageView.Selected = true;
    }
}

This will work both with cookies and without. We'll update the demo as well.
