[Solved] Client Instance Name

[akd2001]

Hi everybody,
I'm evaluating different toolkits and I see DevEx has really nice feature: ClientInstanceName. Essentially, the name you assign for that property in any control is available for you in javascript without needing to do something like

var myControl = $find('<%= MyControl.ClientID %>');

ClientInstanceName lets you simply call "myControl" without having to worry about that extra step. This not only helps make the code cleaner, but also to separate it in a javascript file, as opposed to a script tag in a page.

Is there something equivalent to this in this toolkit? Are there any plans to implement such a feature in upcoming versions?

Thanks

Hello akd2001,

This will be functionality supported by the ASP.NET 4.0 version of the framework (the ETA for it is mid April this year). Our ASP.NET AJAX controls will support ClientIDMode settings in conformance with the conventions of the .NET framework. More information about this new feature can be gathered from this blog post.

Best regards,
Sebastian
