Bug in VS template

[ghini]

Hi if you open Visual Studio 2019 with Telerik ASP.NET v

Go in Extensions menù > Telerik > Telerik UI for ASP.NET > Create New Telerik Project...

later choose "Telerik VB Web Form Site" and RESPONSIVE template.

This code in file "ListView.aspx" not run properly:

    Protected Sub RadListViewImages_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadListViewItemEventArgs)
        Dim item As RadListViewDataItem = TryCast(e.Item, RadListViewDataItem)
        Dim description As String = TryCast(item.DataItem, Image).Description
        If description.Length > 100 Then
            description = description.Substring(0, 97) + "..."
            TryCast(item.FindControl("LabelShortDescription"), Literal).Text = description
        End If
    End Sub

 

I think it should be replaced with this:

    Protected Sub RadListViewImages_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadListViewItemEventArgs)
        Dim item As RadListViewDataItem = TryCast(e.Item, RadListViewDataItem)
        Dim description As String = TryCast(item.DataItem, Image).Description
        If description.Length > 100 Then
            description = description.Substring(0, 97) + "..."
        End If
        TryCast(item.FindControl("LabelShortDescription"), Literal).Text = description
    End Sub

Thanks

Hello,

You are absolutely correct, the TryCast should be outside the IF condition in order to work properly with different description length. We will fix it as soon as possible in one of the upcoming releases of the Visual Studio Extensions. 

As a token of gratitude for helping us identify this issue, we have updated your Telerik points.
