How to open .ascx control in Rad window

[Ash]

hi Telerik

Can you please tell if we can open .ascx control in rad window. As though i am able to open aspx pages in rad window when i tried the same code to open .ascx control in rad window i get the error as: 

The request filtering module is configured to deny the file extension.

In the code behind i am doing the following way:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == "AddNewSignpost")

{

if ("Criteria".Equals(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name))

{

GridDataItem current = e.Item as GridDataItem;

if (current is GridDataItem)

{

string ID = current["Criteria Id"].Text;

string arg1 = "CriteriaId=" + ID;

string arg2 = "&AwardId=" + ParentPage.iaward_id;;

string arg3 = "&CTitle=" + current["Title"].Text;

Telerik.Web.UI.

RadWindow newwindow = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadWindow();

newwindow.ID =

"SearchWnd";

newwindow.VisibleOnPageLoad =

true;

newwindow.Modal =

true;

newwindow.Width = 100;

newwindow.Height = 100;

newwindow.Title =

"Add Criterias to Signpost";

newwindow.NavigateUrl =

"~/custom/cmatters/learningportal/awards/controls/Signpostdetail.ascx?" + arg1 + arg2 + arg3;

RadWindowManager1.Windows.Add(newwindow);

}

}
}
And in the aspx page i have added the rad window manager:

<

Telerik:RadWindowManager VisibleOnPageLoad="true" DestroyOnClose="true" Modal ="true" ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server" /> 

I am using ASP.net 2.0 and telerik version as RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q1 2008 with IE7. Also the programming language i intend to use is c#

kindly help me and let me know the feasible solution as its critical.

Hi Ash,

The idea behind RadWindow is to be a replacement for the standard browser's popups and the control itself is based on an IFRAME. Like the IFRAME and the popup, RadWindow is simply a container that shows a content page that is different from the parent one and it cannot display user controls directly - they must be put in an aspx page first.

Many thanks Georgi.I have understood now and using aspx to hold the user control and calling page inside the rad window.
