Dynamically added dock with dynamically added controls and validation

[Roland]

Hello,

I have a small problem working with dock.

I have a dock layout and I am adding docks dynamically like on the demo website.
I also load the dock content dynamically (like on the demo website again).
The problem is that the control has several textboxes with validators.

When I press the button it does postback, but has CausesValidation set to true.

The validation works when I statically load the control.
All controls have unique id's, loaded on Init to preserve postbacks etc.

How to solve this ?

I created an usercontrol, add it to the example and everything seems to be OK.
ASCX:

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="UpdatePanelUserControl">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">
        </asp:TextBox>
        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredField1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
            Text="pleaseAddText">
        </asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
        <asp:Button ID="btnChangeTime" runat="server" Text="ChangeTime" CausesValidation="true"/>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Codebehind:

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        TextBox1.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
    }

Wrong :S

You need to :

1. Prepare the page for dynamic dock creation (save layout, load layout, restore state to dynamic docks)
2. in page_load !ispostback create a dock dynamically and do Page.LoadControl(usercontrol). Add control to the dock.

Then the buttons on the page will do postback instead of being blocked by the validators
