Get all RadDocks in RadDockZone in Codebehind

[Michael]

I have a series of dynamically created raddocks, that are dynamically placed in different RadDock zones. If the user presses "Save" I am trying to cycle through each raddockzone and then save information from them in a database. See below.

private void SaveWorkspacePanels(RadDockZone dockzone,int workspaceid,int panellocation)
    {
        try
        {
            BusinessLayer BL=new BusinessLayer();
            DemandSolutions_WorkspacePanel WorkspacePanel;
            string source;
            string [] parsed;
            string panelid;
            string paneltype;
            foreach(RadDock dock in dockzone.Docks)
            {
                WorkspacePanel=new DemandSolutions_WorkspacePanel();
                source=dock.Tag;
                parsed=source.Split(' ');
                panelid=parsed[0];
                paneltype=parsed[1];
                WorkspacePanel.PanelID=Convert.ToInt32(panelid);
                WorkspacePanel.PanelLocation=panellocation;
                WorkspacePanel.WorkspaceID=workspaceid;
                BL.InsertWorkspacePanel(WorkspacePanel);
            }//End For-Each
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            DisplayMessage.InnerText="Problem with "+dockzone.ID+" "+ex.ToString();
        }

    }//End Function

The problem is if the RadDock is moved from another dockzone, it is not detected and therefor not saved...any thoughts.

Here is how the RadDock is created

RadDock dock=new RadDock();
dock.DockMode = DockMode.Docked;
dock.ID= string.Format("RadDock{0}", Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace('-', 'a'));
dock.Tag=panelID+" "+controlType;
dock.Title=panelTitle;
dock.Text=panelDescription;
dock.Width=Unit.Percentage(100);
dock.AutoPostBack=true;
dock.Commands.Add(new DockExpandCollapseCommand());

Hi Michael,

It is possible that you are saving the information before the Docks collection of RadDockZone is updated after the RadDock is dragged. Please check this helps article. The dock state is ready to be saved anywhere after Page.Load so I would suggest executing your logic after this event, preferably on RadDockLayout.SaveDockLayout, which is designed for this purpose.

If you are saving the information from the docks in order to persists their layout, you can use the approach shown in this online demo.

In case you are still having difficulties after examining the information above, please open a support ticket and send a simple, fully runnable project that isolates your logic so that I can inspect it locally and provide a more to the point answer.
