Default2006

Hello, i'm looking for the a way to replace the "Default2006" skin in my Asp.Net program

"<td><telerik:RadDatePicker ID="calMaturityDate" runat="server" Skin="Default2006"></telerik:RadDatePicker></td>"

and downloaded and pasted in a Skins directory into my Visual Studio with the "Default2006" skin directory, but it doesn't seem to be picking it up and i also tried the "Skin=Default" but the "Default" skin doesn't present the fine lines around the grid and so on

thanks very much for any suggestions on how to fix this or any alternative approaches?

Cancelling postback, but not cancelling client side changes

Hi there,

I want to be able to call some server side methods when an appointment is moved, resized or deleted, but I do not want a postback to occur. So I can capture the client side move event via OnClientAppointmentResizeEnd, OnClientAppointmentMoveEnd and OnClientAppointmentDeleting, but what I then want to do is cancel the postback that would happen. I do not want to cancel the client side changes though, so args.set_cancel(true) will not do what I am after.

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for your help.

Expand Recurrence rule instances

Hi
I am working with RadControlsForAspNetAjaxControlPanel_2012_2_91
and SQLServer 2008 R2.I found the expand recurrence rule demo posted
and i am using it to expand the recurrence rule of appointments.I am using
a windows service that collects the appointments for "execution" every minute.
In case of an appointment execution failure i need to try to execute again
this appointment as long as there is no other appoinment that is bound to the same resource.
I am trying to get the latest instance from a task for a group but i can't.
e.g This is by Scheduler table containing two recurring appoinments
DTSTART:20121101T103000Z DTEND:20121101T110000Z RRULE:FREQ=HOURLY;COUNT=3;INTERVAL=1 for resource 7
DTSTART:20121101T110000Z DTEND:20121101T113000Z RRULE:FREQ=HOURLY;COUNT=5;INTERVAL=1 for resource 7
DTSTART:20121101T133000Z DTEND:20121101T133500Z RRULE:FREQ=HOURLY;COUNT=2;INTERVAL=1 for resource 8

I use the sql max function for start date but displays me the third instance from the first rule and the fifth instance from the second rule and the second instance from the third rule
Is there any other way to get the latest instance from all instances for a specific resource and for every resource???
(the fifth from second rule and the second from the third rule only)

Web.config changes now automatic?

Hello,

It appears that deploying RadControlsSP.wsp now makes some changes to web.config automatically? Specifically I believe I am seeing an http handler automatically being registered. Can you confirm this?

Also, if this is true, is there any way to stop this from happening? We have deployments running the old version of this package, which did not automatically add the handler, so we created a powershell script that added it ourselves. But now when deploying the updated RadControlsSP.wsp package we are left with duplicate handler entries. A manual fix is possible, but do automated deployments to numerous environments, and manually fixing this issue on every web server in a SharePoint farm upon each deployment would be incredibly tedious.

Thank you,

Chris

Tabstrip display all pageview on first load !

Hi,

I'm using Tabstrig in an user control that is dynamicly loaded in my page
Below is the code of my user control :

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="org_crscls.ascx.cs" Inherits="WBTManager.manageUser.org_crscls" %>

<%@ Reference Page="org.aspx" %>

<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="PageRadScriptBlock" runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

ActiveTab('org_crscls_td', 'OrgMenu_selected', 'OrgMenu', 'td', 'tableOrgMenu');

var theForm = document.getElementById('wbtform');

function checkForm(pForm) {

var bTest = true;

return bTest;

}

//-->

</script>

</telerik:RadScriptBlock>

<div id="OrgContent" class="OrgContent">

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabHtml" SelectedIndex="0" runat="server" MultiPageID="RadMultiPageCrsCls">

<Tabs>

<telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Courses" PageViewID="RadPageViewCourses">

</telerik:RadTab>

<telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Classes" PageViewID="RadPageViewClasses">

</telerik:RadTab>

</Tabs>

</telerik:RadTabStrip>

<telerik:RadMultiPage ID="RadMultiPageCrsCls" runat="server" SelectedIndex="0">

<telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageViewCourses" runat="server">

Courses...

</telerik:RadPageView>

<telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageViewClasses" runat="server">

Classes...

</telerik:RadPageView>

</telerik:RadMultiPage>

</div>

<div class="WinButton">

<div class="WinButtonDetailsAdmin">

<asp:Button id="BtnCancel" runat="server" Cssclass="button90_second_action" OnClientClick="CloseRadWindow();" />

<asp:Button id="BtnSubmit" runat="server" Cssclass="button90_main_action" OnClientClick="return(checkForm(theForm));" />

</div>

When I first load my control, the first tabstrip element is selected but both pageview appears...
If I then click on the second tab, only the 2nd pageview displays (that's fine...)
If I go back to the first tab, only the 1st pageview displays (fine too...)

My problem is at the first load of the control.
My code behind page doesn't contain anything regarding the tabstrip or pageview.

Has someone alreday faced that issue ? nad has a solution ?

Regards.

[Solved] Populating RibbonBar from XML with application menu

I'm developing some prototype and i'd like to make use of ribbon bar just like an office application, for example, i want the ribbon bar to have that application menu with some options like, new, save, and stuff like that. I'm also using a panel bar as a side menu.

The scenario is:
I need to change the tabs and buttons of the ribbon bar with an event from the side bar.

The event on the sidebar changes the xml that populates the ribbon bar but that is where I have a problem.

To change the ribbon bar with xml I have to remove the application menu because with it, I get some exception.

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: 

Failed to load viewstate.  The control tree into which viewstate is being

loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during

the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the 

controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the

controls added during the initial request.

I believe that it could be solved if I add definitions for application menu in the xml and use my population event.
But the xml that was created from the method from ribbonbar ("GetXml()") didn't create anything.

I'd like to know if I should add it manually or the tags to do so. (if possible)
Or even another way to make something like that (use the dynamic population for the ribbon bar with application menu)

Thanks

SourceDragNode.Value on server is wrong after client-side insert of node

Hi,

I am using version 2011.3.1305.35 of the ASP.NET for AJAX controls.

When I insert a treeview node using client side code, and then drag and drop it, the server side code's SourceDragNode.Value is wrong. It is the value of the node that is directly ABOVE my inserted node.

I am doing the following:
1) Using a command on a context menu that uses javascript and an asp ScriptManager and a ServiceReference to insert a node into the treeview. The javascript that runs in the context menu clicking event is:

selectedFolderParentID = treeNode.get_value();

var UserIDHiddenField = document.getElementById('=UserIDHiddenField.ClientID;');

Portal.UserFavoritesWS.AddFavoriteFolderReturnNode(UserIDHiddenField.value, selectedFolderParentID, folderName, OnFolderInsertCompleted);

eventArgs.set_cancel(true);

2) Then in the callback function (OnFolderInsertCompleted - which is run when the web service returns), I insert the node into the tree at the correct location and put it into edit mode:

function OnFolderInsertCompleted(nodeData) {

var tree = $find("=Me.SavedFavoritesTreeView.ClientID");

var node = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode();

tree.trackChanges();

var folderName = nodeData.Text;

var folderID = nodeData.Value;

node.set_text(folderName);

node.set_value(folderID);

node.get_attributes().setAttribute("ObjectTypeID", "80");

node.set_cssClass("savedFolderNode");

var parentNode = tree.findNodeByValue(selectedFolderParentID);

parentNode.get_nodes().add(node);

parentNode.expand();

if (parentNode != tree && !parentNode.get_expanded()) {

parentNode.set_expanded(true);

}

node.select();

tree.commitChanges();

if (node)

setTimeout(function () { node.startEdit() }, 20);}

ALL OF THAT WORKS, and I can see that the node's value is indeed the correct ID that was sent back from the node data by the web service.

3) However, if I then immediately Drag and Drop that node (before any other server side page refresh or postback), the server-side SourceDragNode.Value is NOT from the node I've dragged. It is the value from the node directly ABOVE the node I've dragged.

The result of this, since I have the wrong SourceDragNode.Value, is that the wrong node is being dragged and dropped!

Of course on any full page refresh or postback the SourceDragNode.Value is correct and drag and drop works find because I rebind my treeview on the server, so everything is property sync'ed up at that time... But it seems like if I do the database insert from the client and also add the node from the client, the server code isn't yet aware of that node (like it is accessing the wrong index item or something).

Any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix this?

Thanks,
Brent

How in the heck to work with Entity Framework??

Apologies for the slightly aggressive title, but I have been coding, googling, and browsing the forums for hours, and I am basically no nearer to getting anything to work!

Your advice on working with Entity Framework objects is all over the place, and I can't seem to work out a simple answer. One page says I should bind to an EntityDataSource, the next says that NeedDataSource is the preferred binding method for Entity Framework. Oh and for good measure, some people say ObjectDataSource should be used (this is related to the fact I'm using Code First POCOs). So here are my challenges:

Binding through EntityDataSource
If I bind through the entity data source, it works for a whole 1 request, that is to say that no postback operations work in the slightest. I set up my entity data source, enabled updates/deletes/inserts, and I can click anything I like, but nothing actually seems to interact with the data source. I see the following events on deleting for example:

Click delete
Grid deletecommand event fires, where all references to the data item in question are null
No call to data source events
NeedDataSource is called
Result - no effect

Binding through NeedDataSource
This can not possibly be the recommended approach! Everything becomes manual to the point of complete frustration and the only benefit I get from the grid is it looks pretty! Everything from Sort Expressions, to grouping, to OH MY WORD filtering (what a nightmare) becomes a hassle from hell. What the heck is the idea behind using dynamic linq expressions for filtering??? Can't you just spit out some predicates or something. Yeah it might not be that simple, but you guys have a heck of a lot of developers there.

Entity Framework is I admit newer than sql, but come on, it's not that new! It's not like we're on CTP V1, we're now expecting V5 of Entity Framework and apologies, but it's high time telerik caught up. It's starting to feel like the ASP.NET controls are losing funding and you guys are on your way to retiring them. If that's the case, please just say so, so I can go out and advise clients to move to a different control suite if they want to build ASP.NET apps.

By the way, don't get me wrong, I've been a Telerik fan for a long time, and Sitefinity, Kendo, and the rest of your product line are all pretty fantastic (OpenAccess is an odd one, but you can't do everything perfect!! :)

I appreciate that this post is about 40% fuelled by a tired mind frustrated at not being able to accomplish what I'm trying to do, but that should also be a concern for you. If I can't find what I need from your forums, documentation and examples, I'm not going to be a happy customer... oh wait, that's exactly what I'm not right now!

Please help me keep some of my hair from going grey. Obi Wan Telerik, you're my only hope!

(p.s I know this post is devoid of code examples, but if I was to post all the things I've tried, I'd cause out of memory exceptions in your web server or disk space problems for your dba's, so if you can point me in the right direction, I'll let you know where I've been already down that road.)

RadUpload or RadAsyncUpload?

I'm trying out the upload controls on MVC, but I'm having some small problems.

When I'm using RadUpload, the Progress is only showed on really large files. However when that happens, the controller action is triggered before recieving the file, so I get no file in the action, and later an uploaded file that the server never notice.

When I'm using RadAsyncUpload it seems to upload nicely, but I can't figure out how I should reach the files in the controller action when eventually posting the form.

Any ideas or opinions?
