I have a scenario and I'm struggling with the best way to implement it using Rad Ajax controls.

The system I have has a very custom single sign on process with multiple redirects and code execution. Here is the current flow:

1. Enter info, click Login button
2. Redirect to Site 2
3. Site 2 does it's thing (outside of my control)
4. Site 2 redirects back to Page 2 on Site 1
5. Page 2 does all sorts of processing, multiple web service calls to multiple sites
6. Upon completion, Redirect to Site 3
7. Site 3 does its thing (I have control of this site and on same server as Site 1)
8. Site 3 redirects back to Site 1
9. Done

This whole process takes anywhere from 5-35 seconds on different computers, connections, etc. So I'm trying to figure out a way to give the user a better experience. Currently, the browser does not display any other pages other than Page 1 on Site 1. All of the other redirects and pages listed above are simply blank pages with code behind. So the user doesn't even know they are being redirected multiple times.

I'm almost 99% sure I can't do anything with Ajax when it involves redirects...? If that assumption is correct, my only option is to do something with Step 5 above. Since Page 2 on Site 1 does all the code processing, web service calls, etc. I am thinking I can Ajax that page. Currently all the code for that page simply executes on page load, then redirects.

How can I put an Ajax Loading Panel on the page and get it to fire on Page_Load, have all the code execute, and then redirect when finished? My initial thought is to put a timer on Page_Load that will basically pause things for a split second, once the timer completes it would fire off the function that handles the code execution (and the Loading Panel display), once the code execution completes it would redirect as normal.

I'm looking for the best implementation here, so even if I'm way off base, I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

I have wasted a lot of time today because I did not fully understand the control hiarcy of the RadGrid.
 My problem was that I were not able to get the values from the editedItem controls.

My grid has a  GridTemplateColumn like this 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="doc_name_org" HeaderText="Document">

 

<HeaderStyle CssClass="colored_header" Width="40%" />

 

 

 

<ItemStyle CssClass="colored" Width="40%" />

 

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<asp:ImageButton ID="lnk_doc_name_org_img" Style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" runat="server" />

 

 

 

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnk_doc_name_org_txt" runat="server"></asp:HyperLink>

 

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

<EditItemTemplate>

 

 

 

 <asp:TextBox ID="txtFileName" CssClass="small" Style="float: left" runat="server" Text="" Width="60%"></asp:TextBox>

 

 

 

 <input type="button" style="float: right" causesvalidation="false" id="btnGetExtraDoc" runat="server" class="button_small" value="Get document" />

 

 

</EditItemTemplate>

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 

 

Handling the ItemTemplate was ok, but the EditItemTemplate was a bit more tricky.
Every example I came across used this methode to get the value from the textbox txtFileName

 

 

Dim DocName As String = TryCast(editedItem("doc_name_org").Controls(0), TextBox).Text

But of course it was not that simple. It turned out that I had to use .Controls(1) to get the textbox value.

 

I find this a bit confusing because I actually would expect the textbox to be control(0) and the button to be control(1)....
Any explenations for this? Is control(0) the ItemTemplate and Control(1) the EditTemplate?
If so, I must have missed this explenation somewhere....

To remove the posibility of messing this up later on I figured I should use another approach that does not relay on me to get the index right.

So, the following line accomplishes the same result, but more failsafe. I can add/remove controls without any damage.

Dim DocName2 As String = TryCast(e.Item.FindControl("txtFileName"), TextBox).Text

I think the examples for Telerik Controls should also demonstrate more complex implementations and give explenations for them, not just basic implementations.

Hope this helps someone.

Alexander

 

 

 

Hi,

I have added an Attachment custom attribute to my scheduler. To upload the attached files I use RadWindow. This is from AdvancedForm.ascx:


Everything works great until I add this control to my DNN site. Then the window shows the scheduler page instead of the upload page. What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Julia

Hi,

I am currently replacing my radScheduler edit form using Replacing The Edit Form and Client Side Objects

My radScheduler is grouped by "Studios" (Rehearsal Studios). And "Studios" are "Blue", "Red", "Yellow", ...

And my current code is
I would like to obtain the text of the clicked column ("Blue", "Red", "Yellow", ....) and not "Studios" in groupby

The incorrect code I've used is


Have you got an idea ?

the menu's zindex seems to be set t0 8000 which puts it above everything else ... soemtime this isnt desired see http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/menu/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx and click on the search drop down at the top left, in my example the menu is "floating" above my radwindows ...


Do i drop the zindex of menu or raise everything else ?

I'm using the FormDecorator/Office2007 to improve the appearance of the default ASP Wizard control.  The challenge I'm running into is applying a style to the button representing the active step (SelectedItem Template).  Ideally I'd like to have the selected button/active step show as a highlighted button (hover effect) using the same Office2007 skin.  Is there a way to hard-code that via CssClass attribute for the Button declaration?

 <asp:Wizard ID="paramWizard" runat="server" Width="910px" Height="350px">
        <SideBarTemplate>
            <asp:datalist runat="Server" id="SideBarList" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:button runat="server" ID="SideBarButton" Width="160px"/>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <SelectedItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Button ID="SideBarButton" runat="server" Width="160px"/>  
                </SelectedItemTemplate>
            </asp:datalist>
        </SideBarTemplate>
    </asp:Wizard>

Thanks,
