Ajaxifying controls in templates

[ToltingColtAcres]

What is the proper procedure to ajaxify controls contained in layout templates of RadGrids or Formviews?

e.g. if RadFormView1 contains an itemtemplate which contains a RadGrid, how does one properly configure the RadAjaxManager to ajaxify the grid?

I tried something like this:

01.<telerik:RadAjaxManager runat="server" ID="RadAjaxManager_ManualRequest">
02.    <AjaxSettings>
03.      <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadFormView_Customers">
04.        <UpdatedControls>
05.          <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadFormView_Customers" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel_ManualRequest" />
06.        </UpdatedControls>
07.      </telerik:AjaxSetting>
08.      <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid_Addresses">
09.        <UpdatedControls>
10.          <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid_Addresses" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel_ManualRequest" />
11.        </UpdatedControls>
12.      </telerik:AjaxSetting>
13.    </AjaxSettings>
14.  </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

 

Using this definition (where Radgrid_Addresses is a control contained in the ItemTemplate of the Formview), the ajax request seems to work for the first request to the radgrid (for example, moving to the next page) but subsequent requests (moving back or forward a page again) seem to affect the entire formview rather than just the grid.

 

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

The provided setup leads to nested update panels which will cancel each other during an AJAX request, breaking the controls functionality from this moment on. Keeping only the first part of the update should be enough to update both the Grid and the FormView. You can also try enabling the UpdateInitiatorPanelsOnly property of the AjaxManager:

        <telerik:RadAjaxManager runat="server" ID="RadAjaxManager_ManualRequest" UpdateInitiatorPanelsOnly="true">
            <AjaxSettings>
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadFormView_Customers">
                    <UpdatedControls>
                        <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadFormView_Customers" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel_ManualRequest" />
                    </UpdatedControls>
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>
            </AjaxSettings>
        </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
