Access a conrol outside grid from ItemCommand

[rms]

Hi,

my requirement is to show list of values in a grid and when the user clicks on one of the columns, I have to display a radbutton. this button is on the page and is outside the grid
I am getting the commandname in the itemcommand event and trying to make radbutton visible.  button.visible=true. when i debug the code it looks like its working but the button is not diplayed. this button is invisible by default.
do i have to do a find control like i do for the controls inside the grid? if so what is the syntax for it?

Thanks.

Hello,

Please check below code snippet.

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" >

        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" />
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="Button1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

let me know if any concern.

I have another Issue now. I think this is also related to the above thats why I am posting in the same thread.

I am trying to give a download functionality to the user on my page.

Response.ClearContent()

Response.ContentType =

 

"application/vnd.xls"

 

Response.AppendHeader(

 

"Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & OnlyName)

 

Response.TransmitFile(filename)

Response.End()

the above code does not seem to work. this is on the same page where I have my Radgrid. What could be the work around for this?

Thanks
