Hi,
this one is a bit urgent, I need to implement it asap.
In my application I have several update panels and everything is loaded dynamically (parent controls load child controls etc).
I'm having an issue loading a control that has ImageEditor inside, I get:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Web.UI.AsyncPostBackTrigger.HasTriggered() at System.Web.UI.UpdatePanelTriggerCollection.HasTriggered() at System.Web.UI.PageRequestManager.ProcessUpdatePanels() at System.Web.UI.PageRequestManager.RenderPageCallback(HtmlTextWriter writer, Control pageControl) at System.Web.UI.Control.RenderChildrenInternal(HtmlTextWriter writer, ICollection children) at System.Web.UI.Page.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
Please create a new VS 2010 Rad controls project (.NET 4.0). Next create 2 user controls: MainContainer and PageImageEditor
MainContainer is:
and cs file:
PageImageEditor is just:
Drop MainContainer user control in Designer to Default.aspx:
start the project, click the button and you will instantly get error:
Error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
also give a try and comment out UpdatePanel code (not placeholder and button) in MainContainer, you will not get this error, but dialogs of ImageEditor won't load anything except their title (not sure if this is the only thing that doesn't work, didn't check, cause it didn't make sense to proceed further).
So question is basically how to make this work in scenario described when control in inside UpdatePanel.
Thank you!
P.S.: in current project similar technique is applied to several other Telerik controls, no similar (major) problems faced so far.

Hi,
Awhile I will play with iframe(create separate page, put ImageEditor there and load that page in iframe src's which in turn is located in dynamically loaded control) solution to that problem. Though would love to stick to approach mentioned above :) Let's see how it goes :)
Thanks again!

Hello Shukhrat,
I was indeed able to reproduce the issue on my side. This is a peculiar case, where the ImageEditor cannot be added dynamically as late in the page life-cycle as the button OnClick event handler. Loading the ImageEditor in the OnInit handler works just fine. For that reason you implement a workaround for loading the user web control in the OnInit handler:
Still we will investigate what is causing the issue you have reported and will try to come up with a solution in due time. You can track the progress on the fix through the following url - http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/aspnet-ajax/7232.
As a sign of gratitude for your persistence and efforts, I have updated your Telerik points.
Best wishes,

Hi,
Thank you for reply. In my case I do need to be able to load as I mentioned, cause application loads corresponding user control as a response to user actions, totally ajaxified, so I can't stick to static load of certain control. As I mentioned ealier I'm not experiencing major issues with other Telerik controls, but this. Also I've created a support ticket for that, cause I'm in a bit hurry.
Thanks again for understanding and have a good day!

Hi Shukhrat,
I understand the difficulties that you are experiencing with this issue. However we will need more time to completely investigate the problem and decide on the best solution to have it fixed.
Nevertheless you can still implement your logic based on the HTTP parameters. Here is a sample implementation relying on the fact that only buttons would decide on the user control to show:
If you need to have a more general solution to capturing the postback control you can use the following helper method:
And implement a more general decision method:
Hope this helps.

private void ChooseWebUserControlByKey() { var keys = Page.Request.Params.AllKeys; if(keys.Contains(btn_TestLoad.UniqueID)) CurrentLoadedControlName = "~/ImageEditor/ImageEditorInUpdatePanel/WebUserControl2.ascx"; else CurrentLoadedControlName = "~/DummyControl.ascx"; }If you need to have a more general solution to capturing the postback control you can use the following helper method:
public static class PageHelper { public static Control GetPostBackControl(Page page) { Control control = null; string ctrlname = page.Request.Params.Get("__EVENTTARGET"); if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(ctrlname)) { foreach (string ctl in page.Request.Form) { Control c = page.FindControl(ctl); if (c is System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button) { control = c; break; } } } else { control = page.FindControl(ctrlname); } return control; } }private void ChooseWebUserControl() { var postBackControl = PageHelper.GetPostBackControl(Page); switch (postBackControl.ID) { case "btn_TestLoad": CurrentLoadedControlName = "~/ImageEditor/ImageEditorInUpdatePanel/WebUserControl2.ascx"; break; case "btn_TestInit": CurrentLoadedControlName = "~/ImageEditor/ImageEditorInUpdatePanel/WebUserControl2.ascx"; break; default: CurrentLoadedControlName = ""; break; } }Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for reply.
I have to mention that in my application I load controls form Page_Load event inside master control.
Now back to our sandbox, approach above - I do similar to TreeView :) but, lets say code above works (and it does).
Add UpdatePanel around placeholder control in MainContainer and run it, you will be able to load the image editor, but it will be behaving weird, try clicking on any toolbar items with dialogs, those wont load anything except header, close them, open again and you will get some other js related error. I tried to load in OnInit and in Page_Load of MainContainer - same result.
Now set UpdateMode of the UpdatePanel in MainContainer to Condition. Control behaves nicely when loaded in OnInit and in Page_Load of MainContainer.
Next, add UpdatePanel to Default.aspx that wraps MainContainer control itself, try loading image editor in Page_Load of MainContainer - error (no matter of UpdateMode setting for UpdatePanel inside Default.aspx).
Next, same as above, but load image editor in Page_Load of MainContainer, UpdateMode for UpdatePanel inside Default.aspx - you will get weird behavior(try clicking on any toolbar items with dialogs, those wont load anything except header, close them, open again and you will get some other js related error)
Same as last but set UpdateMode for UpdatePanel inside Default.aspx to Conditional. Control works ok, but somehow in most cases look minimized, like didn't expand to full height.
When I say control works ok, I mean that toolsbar items can be opened at least 2 times, they fully load and dont cause js error no due load of control no due opening toolbar dialogs. Not aware of *real* workability in any cases.
With that test cases I was trying to simulate a bit a structure that I have in main application and yes, it loads child controls in Page_Load event of master control (and it is fine with the rest RAD: TreeView, Grid, Button, TextBoxes, etc).
Hope this helps to find solution!
Thank you!

Hi Shukhrat,
The issue has been fixed. The fix will be available with the next internal build, which is due for the start of next week. Please, note that if the ImageEditor control is inside an UpdatePanel, the UpdateMode should be Conditional.
Please, accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused.
