Hi
I have been experimenting with creating standard input controls dynamically based on this external post http://weblogs.asp.net/sanjeevagarwal/archive/2008/07/22/Dynamically-create-ASP.NET-user-control-using-ASP.NET-Ajax-and-Web-Service.aspx
Basically, in my application, an AJAX call is made to a web service which dynamically creates a virtual page of controls (based on meta data from a database) and renders the page to an html string using HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(page, textWriter, false). A callback function inserts the html into a div. This is not a new concept but is new to me.
I have successfully implemented it for up to 1000 ASP.NET text boxes. However, when I add just 1 Telerik text box, an exception occurs when executing the command HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(page, textWriter, false);. "Error executing child request handler. 'System.Web.Ui.Page'.
I have researched other articles in this forum and extensively on the web but cannot find an answer. I assume it is connected with the way in which Telerik controls are referenced in Visual Studio or by ASP.NET but I do not have the expertise to debug the issue.
This is a focal issue for my application.
Can you please help.
Thanks and regards

Hello Harry,
For loading ASP.NET AJAX controls from a Web Service, we recommend using the XmlHttpPanel control that we provide.

Hi Dimitar
Thanks for your reply. It sounds interesting. However, I have 2 questions:
1. How can I load standard Html elements together with Telerik controls?
2. Can I append additional Html and controls in successive client initiated calls?

Hi Harry,
I did some research about the error mentioned and it seems to be thrown when the Executed handler throws an exception. You can resolve this by setting RegisterWithScriptManager = false; to each RadControl that you are using.
Please excuse me for misleading you earlier.

Hi Dimitar
There seems to be some issues with controls created dynamically in this way:
1. The client side events (OnValueChanged) does not fire;
2. The Type property for RadNumericTextBox is not honoured.
I am happy to change my methodology to use an XmlHttpPanel but I then need help with my earlier questions:
1. How can I load standard Html elements together with Telerik controls?
2. Can I append additional Html and controls in successive client initiated calls?
Thanks and regards

Hello Harry,
1. Client-side events are not fired because the control's Javascript is not evaluated (i.e. executed) by the browser.
2. I believe this is caused by the same issue.
The XmlHttpPanel can take care of evaluating the controls' Javascript in such scenarios.
As shown in the XmlHttpPanel example I linked, adding controls is as simple as adding any WebControl to the Panel's Controls collection, so you can add any of the "simple" HtmlControls or a LiteralControl with html markup.
The XmlHttpPanel replaces its content with each request so adding more content would require recreating the previous content plus adding the new one.
