LoadContentFile/LoadXml Method

[Udi]

Hello,

Why when i use the "LoadContentFile" method ot the "LoadXml" method a new instance of RadListBox has been created.
If i use these methods, first it goes into the constructor of the listbox.

Below is my class inherite from RadListBox

public class MyRadListBox: RadListBox

    {

        public MyRadListBox()

        {

           InitControl();

        } 
           .
           .
           .

    }

If i create an instance of MyListBox and call to LoadContentFile("LB.xml) then first it to the MyRadListBox Ctor.

MyListBox myListBox=new MyListBox();
myListBox.LoadContentFile("LB.xml");

Is there any option to avoid this? it pretty annoying and cause to bugs.

Regards,
Oren

Hello Oren,

I am not sure that I understand what is the exact issue that you face, could you please clarify? As far as I can see you inherit RadListBox and call the LoadContentFile method. This should populate the RadListBox instance with data.

Hello Genady,

OK i'll try to explain it better,

In my case, if i call to the LoadContentFile method,
First it gets into the constructor(public MyRadListBox) and then load the content (the data).
I don't understand why it should first gets into the constructor.

Thank you,
Oren

Hi Oren,

When I tried this on a sample project I noticed that the constructor is called only once, as expected. Calling to the LoadContentFile didn't invoke the constructor. Could you please open a support ticket and attach there a sample project that reproduces the fault so that we can take a look on what is going wrong. Thank you.

Kind regards,
