What is OwnerStateBag parameter?

[George]

I am trying to create a Telerik.Web.UI.InputPasswordStrengthSettings object to put some password settings on it  in a C# created password textbox. Creating this object takes a parameter of new InputPasswordStrengthSettings (System.Web.UI.StateBag OwnerStateBag).  The Telerik documentation is quite helpful as usual, it says OwnerStateBag is an owner state bag.

Searching the web for help I discover many Telerik controls take the OwnerStateBag as a parameter on construction.  I am programming in an ASP.NET environment is ASP.NET AJAX in a C# class far down below an aspx file.  Their is a ViewState in the aspx.

What does OwnerStateBag as a parameter mean and where would I get it or how should I make it?   StateBag is an internal interface needing to be created as another object.

Help please,
George

Hi George,

You can pass the Page ViewState object to the InputPasswordStrengthSettings constructor.

The constructor basically awaits ViewState object where it can save it settings. Since in your case the InputPasswordStrengthSettings  is used outside of RadControl we cannot pass the control ViewState. Instead, we can initialize it with a StateBag supplied from the page object.

Example:

protected void Page_Load(EventArgs e)
 {
     var b = new RadDateInput();
     var settings = new InputPasswordStrengthSettings(this.ViewState);
 }

I hope that this helps.
