Error with any telerik control inside of a raddock

[David Moore]

I have a portal page setup and whenever I add a telerik control into one of my docks I get an error.  Works perfectly with any of the built in .NET controls.  (these are inside user controls that I'm pulling in)


Here's what I get in firefox:

missing : after property id

and in IE:

A runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?

Hello Dave,

We were able to recreate the problem on our side by creating a sample project that dynamically adds RadDocks (with RadCalendar inside) to a RadDockZone. The problem seems to be caused by the following code line:

dock.ID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

It returns an ID which contains "-". By default you cannot use strings as IDs of ASP.NET controls that contain the "-" character. So the "-" character should be replaced with a "legal" ASP.NET character. For an example this line of code should be used instead:

dock.ID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace('-', 'a') ;

  
One of our examples for dynamic RadDock creation uses the code line that causes the error. That might have led you to the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will  fix it as soon as we can.

Kind regards,
Pero
