Dynamically Set NavigateUrl

[Kris]

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

<telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
    NavigateUrl="https://site.com/app/default.asp?M=2-3&u=<%= uUser_id%>"
    Text="Event Application">
</telerik:RadPanelItem>

Trying to pass the current user ID but I pass:
https://site.com/app/default.asp?M=2-3&u=<;%= uUser_id%>

instead of:
https://site.com/app/default.asp?M=2-3&u=1234

Any ideas?

Hello,


I believe setting the NavigateUrl from code behind is better option than setting it from aspx. Access the PanelItem using FindItemByText/FindItemByUrl/FindItemByValue method and set the NavigateUrl and url parameter.

Hello Kris,

You can set it like this instead:

NavigateUrl="<%# String.Format("https://site.com/app/default.asp?M=2-3&u={0}", uUser_id)%>"

I hope that helps.

This is what I ended up doing.  But now the menu is doubled.

 
So the next question why is it doubled?
ascx code

  

<%@ Control language="vb" Inherits="dotnetnuke.aau.aauplaymenu.View" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Codebehind="View.ascx.vb" %>

  

<%@ Register assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" tagprefix="telerik" %>

  

  

<link href="module.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<telerik:RadPanelBar runat="server" ID="RadPanelBar1"  Skin="Black" 

    Width="228px" ExpandMode="SingleExpandedItem">

     

</telerik:RadPanelBar>

  

  

ascx.vb Code

  

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load, Me.Load

        Try

  

            If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

                ReadRecordAndSetupPage()

            End If

  

        Catch exc As Exception        'Module failed to load

            ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)

        End Try

    End Sub

  

       Protected Sub ReadRecordAndSetupPage()

  

            uUser_id = getuUser_id()

            Dim RT_Home As New RadPanelItem()

            RT_Home.Text = "Home - Summary Page"

            RT_Home.ForeColor = Color.GreenYellow

            RT_Home.Font.Bold = True

            RT_Home.NavigateUrl = "~/home.aspx"

            RadPanelBar1.Items.Add(RT_Home)

  

            Dim RT_Athlete As New RadPanelItem()

            RT_Athlete.Text = "Athlete Application"

            RT_Athlete.ForeColor = Color.GreenYellow

            RT_Athlete.Font.Bold = True

            RT_Athlete.NavigateUrl = "~/Athlete.aspx?sCat=A"

            RadPanelBar1.Items.Add(RT_Athlete)

...

       End Sub

What I mean is that the menu repeats it's self.

Hi Kris,

Your user control is the menu, I saw that just now. Sorry about that! Whenever I read "menu", I think about RadMenu control.

Now, on the problem:
- If the user control is being doubled on the page you declare it, then probably it's being instantiated a second time later on the page lifecycle. Could you, please, open a support ticket and provide me with a runnable project? This will save a lot of time in correspondence and will contribute to solving this problem faster.

Hope that soon you will submit the ticket and I will have a sample project to debug!
