Expand/Collapse stopped working

[Michael]

I could use some clues to help me find what I've done wrong.  Here's the situation:

I have a RadGrid control where there is a top level for Issues where each Issue can have 0-n Action Items.  The grid initially displays just the Issues. Clicking on the expand button causes an Ajax postaback, the Action Items for the selected issue are retrieved and displayed.

This was working fine until I started working on some modifications to make it work in different environment. The change involves getting the name of a SharePoint sub-site from a web part connector instead of assuming the current site. The connector event fires relatively late in lifecycle of a page, so I had to re-arrange data binding code.  I'm sure this has something to do with my problem.

After these changes, the grid no longer expands/contracts when the button is pressed.  The Ajax postback is still occurring and the events are still firing on code behind as expected.  The data is retrieved and added to the child view.  If I expand all the rows declaratively, I can see all the data. The properties of the grid item show "Expanded=true."

Has anybody seen this?  Is there some secret to getting the grid to redraw itself on an Ajax postback when the server side code has rebound data?

Hello Michael,

Your grid set up and code-behind seem all right, however, the ajax setting is not correct. You must remove the RadAjaxPanel as RadAjaxManager is equivalent in essence to it, just gives you the advantage of its ajax settings designer. In the second place, when you have to ajaxify controls within an user control, you should do it as demonstrated in the attached sample. And last but not least, do add the following code to the OnInit event of the web part - that should prevent any potential problems with the exporting of the grid:

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Web_Part1), this.ID, "_spOriginalFormAction = document.forms[0].action;_spSuppressFormOnSubmitWrapper=true;", true);
if (this.Page.Form != null)
{
    string formOnSubmitAtt = this.Page.Form.Attributes["onsubmit"];
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(formOnSubmitAtt) && formOnSubmitAtt == "return _spFormOnSubmitWrapper();")
    {
        this.Page.Form.Attributes["onsubmit"] = "_spFormOnSubmitWrapper();";
    }
}

Hope it helps.

All the best,
