    Running into a few issues here.  The functionality we want this application to have is quite simple.  We have a "notes" control with a RadAjaxPanel that consists of a RadTextBox and also a RadPanelBar within another RadAjaxPanel. Notes that are already in the database will populate into their own RadPanelbar items when the page is loaded.  The user enters some text into the RadTextBox and clicks "save."  For some strange reason, once the save button is clicked - the RadPanelBar disappears and is not shown again unless the whole control is closed and reopened.  Another strange issue is that every now and then, the text will not save if it is entered and the save button is clicked too quickly.

    Hi Lindsey,

    I tried to reproduce the issue with the provided code but to no avail (I commented some code in order to run it).  How exactly you're using the user control on the page? Also could you please try not to load the panelbar on every postback like this:


    if(!IsPostBack)
      LoadNoteHistory(notes);
