Ajaxify How-To

[Felipe Saldana]

It seems like I keep running into problems when I Ajaxify controls.

Does someone have some concrete examples and how-to's on how to use Ajaxify controls correctly?

The current problem I am having is that I have the following

                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="gvMessageList">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="gvMessageList" LoadingPanelID="ajaxLoadingPanel" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>

                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="ddlProperty" EventName="OnSelectedIndexChanged">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="gvMessageList" LoadingPanelID="ajaxLoadingPanel" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>

                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="btnSearch">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="gvMessageList" LoadingPanelID="ajaxLoadingPanel" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>

                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="messagePanel">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="lblPropertySmsText" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>

To me it should be straight forward: gvMessageList is a RadGrid and it should be updated when 
    - it does something itself (pages, sort, etc)
    - when the drop down list is changed 
    - when a search button is clicked

For some reason AFTER I use the drop down list to make a selection problems occur.  If I click the search button (or expand the grid) the SelectedIndexChanged event for the drop down list fires AS WELL AS the event for the button.

Can someone explain what I am missing on how to Ajaxify correctly?

Thanks.

I think I figured this out.

I was re-binding the drop down list on every postback.


Thanks.

Yes, that's a common mistake when We start with AjaxManager
I passed for the same the first time I used AjaxManager
And It's great you discover this by yourself 'cause here in the forum can't help you without the complete code to watch this =$
congrats!! ;-)
C'ya!!
