I used a sample from the Telerik site and tweaked the control files to run a subroutine on each tab load. I find that when the first tab is is selected and loaded, the subroutine for that control runs. However when I click on the second tab the first tab's subroutine runs and then the second tab's subroutine runs. When I click the third tab, the first two subroutines run and then the third subroutine runs. After that I can freely click through all the tabs and all the information is there as it is supposed to be. But to get here the page ran a number of the same subroutines multiple times. Shouldn't the load on demand only run the subroutine associated with the page once and as you click on the other tabs only run their subroutines on demand? Then if this happens I would still hope that all the information will still be retained for each tab when reclicked? If my assumptions are correct, what is wrong with my sample code or what am I missing?  Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

We have same issue, our page(s) (.aspx) that are loaded from RadMultipage are reloaded when you add new Tab and equivalent MultiPage.

Hi Telerik Team,

Any suggestion?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the provided information doesn't help us much in reproducing the error. It will be best if you open a formal support ticket and can send us a simple running project (incl. CSS, images, DB backup and so on) demonstrating the problems. In that way we can reproduce and pinpoint the problems you're facing on our side, understand the logic of your application and provide a solution.

Kind regards,

Hi Newton,

Our load on demand example loads all previously loaded tabs and updates them. This is required for the proper update of ViewState. As a result the code in all user controls is executed. You can raise a flag in ViewState to mark a control as already loaded and avoid executing the code more than once. Hare is a short code snippet:

If ViewState("Loaded") = False 
        'Call your code 
       ViewState("Loaded") = True 
Then

Hmm, is it still "load on demand" then?
If it loads everything, it's not really load on demand, is it??
--> I'd call it "append and reload everything"...
I thought the purpose here was to load little by little, especially in a scenario where each tab is quite loaded; I was testing this because of performance issues... But if it's going to reload everything on each tab click; might as well go for a full postback: it would be quicker for the user and quicker to program...

Hello Nicolai,

Actually it reloads only already loaded user controls and this is required, because dynamically loaded user controls are not persistent and should be added on every postback - this is general asp.net approach that is not related to the controls.

I see.
I think it would make more sense to clear the others and load only the displayed one... Unless they have to interact with each other in some way, it just seems more logical to free the browser and server memory and reload only the displayed UC..
Even when navigating back to an already viewed tab, it makes more sense to go fetch the newest data on it..
Maybe iit's just my scenarios, I don't know...

Hello Nicolai,

You can set RenderSelectedPageOnly property of the multipage in this case. But note that you should allow the tabstrip to postback for every tab in order to render the needed pageview.

Hi,

is there a full exapmle for this issue?

My scenario is similar:

One aspx Page with a Tabstrip
3 ascx Controls.
They are all independent from each other.

Only the requested ascx should be loaded.

I can't fit the suggested snippets togehter.

Can anyone give me a short example ?

Kind regards Thomas

Hello Thomas,

You can use this demo as a base, you just need to set RenderSelectedPageOnly property of the multipage to "true" and AutoPostBack property of the tabstrip also to "true".
