Hi All,

I am attempting to ajaxify specific controls dynamically. I have a repeater and i want to ajaxify image buttons inside the repeater.

On ItemCreated for the repeater i am:

protected void RptCategories_ItemCreated(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                ImageButton imgbtn = (ImageButton)e.Item.FindControl("iBtnRemoveCategory");
                this.RadAjaxManager1.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(imgbtn, RptCategories, RadAjaxLoadingPanel1);
            }
        }

The line where i am adding the AjaxSetting i am getting the error: ArgumentNullException was unhandled by user code, value cannot be null, Parameter Page.

It seems the RadAjaxManager doesn't know where it is.. this is a form page with a masterpage.. no usercontrols..Please help. THanks.

Hi Rich,

Note that you should always add AJAX pair dynamically in a Page event handler, which is executed each time during the page lifecycle (Page_Load, Page_PreRender) so that the control could be ajaxified when the page is initially loaded. Please review the following help topic which elaborates on this scenario.

Hi The buttons are inside a Repeater.. so how would i add dynamically in the page load or prerender? The repeater is likely not databound at this point.

Hello Rich,

I would suggest you to wrap the Repeater into an asp Panel and add the whole Panel to update itself on Page_Load or Page_PreRender events. Check it out and let me know if it makes any difference.

What do you mean when you say:

"add the whole Panel to update itself on Page_Load or Page_PreRender events"??

thanks

Hi Rich,

Your settings should look like this:

For our situation, the fix was to put the RadAjaxManager.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting after adding the panel to the Controls (Controls.Add(panel)).
