EditForm not closing when command is passed

[Jaymie]

Hi,

I have seen others post this issue, but I believe mine is slightly different.
Take a look at the following code:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="btnSave">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="CreatePanel" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rgCampaigns" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="EditFailureText" />
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="ValidationSummary1" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="rgCampaigns">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rgCampaigns" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="EditFailureText" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

As you can see, I use the Ajax Manager to manage the datagrid on my form (including the EditFailureText for error messages). What I have found is that when I use the delete on the rgCampaigns grid, it executes and you see the AjaxLoadingPanel while it is refreshing. This is good and the new datasource is pulled back and displayed. Great :)
Now, when I edit the form, the same thing happens, which is great, but! The edit form stays open.... I have no idea why, but I believe it is something to do with the Ajax manager.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

oh and if it helps, this is my code behind file:

is the rgCampaigns.Rebind()
necessary / causing your problem?

[Jaymie]

Hi,
No I added that line to see if that is why it wasn't disappearing.

Hi Jaymie,

Your code seems fine. You can try removing the try-catch blocks to see if any exception is getting suppressed. Also, if you believe this might be an AJAX-related issue, you can disable or remove the RadAjaxManager from your page. Thus, your grid will make full page postbacks. If this issue cannot be reproduced without the AJAX manager, then it is an AJAX issue. Otherwise, it is not related to AJAX. Let me know what you are getting.
