Programmatically check that AjaxSetting already exists

[chawkins]

Hello

Is there a way to programmatically check server-side for an ajaxsetting that may or may not already exist in the AjaxSettings collection for the ajax manager? I thought a function like this one should do it, to create a setting object (='mytestsetting') against which then you could use it as a parameter to match against myajaxmanager.AjaxSettings.Contains(mytestsetting), but should I expect it to recognize that a matching setting with the exact same ajaxified source and updated target already exist?

        Public Function CheckForExistingAjaxSetting(ByRef ajaxifiedctrl As Control, ByRef updatedctrl As Control, ByRef rlp As RadAjaxLoadingPanel) As AjaxSetting

            Dim setting As New AjaxSetting()
            Dim target As AjaxUpdatedControl = Nothing
            If Not rlp Is Nothing Then
                target = New AjaxUpdatedControl(updatedctrl.UniqueID, rlp.UniqueID)
            Else
                target = New AjaxUpdatedControl(updatedctrl.UniqueID, Nothing)
            End If
            setting.UpdatedControls.Add(target)
            setting.AjaxControlID = ajaxifiedctrl.UniqueID
            Return setting

        End Function

 somewhere else in server code:

       Dim mytestsetting As AjaxSetting = CheckForExistingAjaxSetting(foo, bar, loadingpanel)
       If Not (myajaxmanager.AjaxSettings.Contains(mytestsetting)) Then ....
            .... add the setting programmatically
       End If

Could you say if there is a better way to do this that works?

Thankyou

Hi,

The presented approach for verify if a concrete ajax settings exists is correct one and should work as expected. Do let us know if any issues with the presented approach appears.
