Error using design editor and RadDock

[Nigel]

Hi, I have been experiencing problems with the RadDock and the design view editor. When you create a new raddock and drag a component into it, it adds it without creating the ContentTemplate tags. Then if you edit this (either add more, or change the properties) it removes the end ContentTemplate tag. I have been working around this for a while as it has been like it in a least the last 3 releases, and I assume that you are aware of this problem, but figured I would let you know anyway. Please note I have experienced this error in both 2005 and 2008 version of Visual Studio.

I.e. a new Rad Dock created and a control dragged into it using design editor

 

 

<telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock1" runat="server" Width="300px">  

 

<uc2:EntitySearcher ID="EntitySearcherClients" runat="server" EntityTypeID="1" Mode="SelectProperty" /> 

 

<asp:Button ID="ButtonCloseDock" runat="server" Text="Close Searcher" OnClick="ButtonCloseDock_Click" /> 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadDock>

After fixing this but changing the properties through design editor

 

<telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock1" runat="server" Width="500px" Height="500px" Top="300px" Left="200px" DefaultCommands="None" DockHandle="Grip" DockMode="Floating" Visible="false">  

 

 

<ContentTemplate>  

 

<uc2:EntitySearcher ID="EntitySearcherClients" runat="server" EntityTypeID="1" Mode="SelectProperty" /> 

 

 

<asp:Button ID="ButtonCloseDock" runat="server" Text="Close Searcher" OnClick="ButtonCloseDock_Click" />  

 

 

 

</telerik:RadDock>

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for your feedback. We highly appreciate it.

The problem concerning ContentTemplate being stripped when modifying, adding or removing a control inside RadDock in design time, is a known issue. We have already logged it in our bug tracking system and will fix it for one of the following updates of the control. The problem is referenced in a note in RadDock for ASP.NET AJAX help in the Getting Started help article.
