Persisting ViewState and ControlState to DB/Disk breaks functionality

It seems that persisting the states on other media and not in the default hiddenfield breaks RadGrid funcionalities (for example paging with "next page" stops at page "2").
The code for changing persistance medium of the viewstate/controlstatef is straightforward and it's derived from Microsoft suggestions on this procedeure.
We also debugged it and both the viewstate and controlstate are correctly saved and restored from both DB or disk.
A simple test on the viewstate was

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

ViewState("testme") = "test view state"

Else

TestLabel.Text = "--" & ViewState("testme")

End If

And about controlstate we readi it on the debugger and this is a screenshot (both in the first page load and after postback same identical controlstate)

http://www.hakkar.it/controlstate-nopostback.jpg

Implementation is in a base page class derived from all pages:

Private pPageStatePersister As PageStatePersister

' DB/Disk persisted viewstate

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property PageStatePersister As PageStatePersister

Get

If pPageStatePersister Is Nothing Then

If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(GlobalAppSettings.ViewStatePersister) Then

pPageStatePersister = New ViewStatePersister(Me)

Else

pPageStatePersister = New HiddenFieldPageStatePersister(Me)

End If

Return pPageStatePersister

End Get

End Property

Any hint on why this implementation could break grid functionality while removing it everything works as expected?
Does RadGrid check the "__Viewstate" hidden field directly instead of accessing controlstate/viewstate?

SP1 broke menu display for some skins

After upgrading to 2013 SP1 I noticed the menu hover styles don't display correct for Sunset skin and Hay skin. I also tested this for demo's on the Telerik site. See attached picture.
I know you want to get rid of these skins but they are the most used skins among the users of my web applications. So I really hope you can solve this. And also have really good alternatives once you no longer support these skins.

Have seen this error reported before in the forum, but there is no proper answer on why ? except attaching sample projects that work. Tried adding a series at the end with Line Type but no luck.

telchart.DataBind()
telchart.Series.Add(New ChartSeries("Lines", ChartSeriesType.Line))

Rotator with LinqDataSource - The 'DataSource' property cannot be set declaratively.

Hi, I have used an example from the demos to created a 'Scores' type ticker...

My markup is...

<telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" DataSource="LinqDataSource1"

FrameDuration="2000" Height="20px" ItemHeight="20" Width="570px" ItemWidth="570"

ScrollDuration="2000" ScrollDirection="Up">

<ItemTemplate>

<div class="results">

<table class="rTable">

<tr>

<td class="leftCell">

<asp:Literal ID="lit_Title" runat="server" Text='<%= Bind("Title")%>'></asp:Literal>

</td>

<td class="figure">

<asp:Literal ID="lit_Total" runat="server" Text='<%= Bind("Total") %>'></asp:Literal>

</td>

<td class="figure">

<asp:Literal ID="lit_TypeA" runat="server" Text='<%= Bind("TypeA") %>'></asp:Literal>

Why do I get the error message -

The 'DataSource' property cannot be set declaratively ..... any help appreciated.

RadTextBox using a LinkButton (instead of StandardButton)

How can I specify that the built in button that I activate as part of a RadTextBox be a LinkButton? I have read how to change the image of the button, (through the ButtonCSSClass) but how can I specify that the button itself is a LinkButton, and then specify the text of the link?

Thank you.

Use of Eval()

Hi

In all your example you use the Eval or Bind. I have just seen this article on why not to use Eval().

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/623516/The-evil-of-Eval-in-ASP-NET

How would you bind data without using Eval or Bind.

RadNumericTextBox postback as-you-type

I'm implementing a search-as-you-type feature using RadNumericTextBox. What should happen is when the user pauses typing on the RadNumericTextBox for half a second, it should perform a postback and my search results should get refreshed. I can catch the OnKeyPress client event of RadNumericTextBox, but the problem is that textbox's internal numeric value does not get updated until the textbox goes out-of-focus. How can I make it do a postback with the updated value while the user is typing on the textbox?.

24/business hours

Hi,
I have a rather complex RadScheduler setup with resource (Personnel) grouping setup.
When in business hours mode (ie nothing displayed after 5PM) an indicator icon appears in the middle column to indicate that a task is outside of the visible range. The issue is that it appears in a resources column and hence appears to be for that resource.
Upon expanding to 24hour mode it is quite clear it is with another one.

This becomes more confusing in the same scenario but in week mode. In this case the same personnel has 3 days with appointments after 5PM. This then adds 3 arrow icons to the screen to indicate this. However none of the icons appear under the correct resource. This is rather hard to screenshot due to the width of the window, hopefully you get the idea from the day case.

Should the icons appear in the correct column? And if not I feel that this would be a good enhancement to implement in the future.

Thanks,
Matt
