Keep RadDock from Refreshing

[Ryan]

I have two pages in my applicaiton, both pages have the following basic structure:

 

...
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="xxx" UpdateMode="Conditional">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <telerik:RadDockLayout ID="xxx" runat="server">
            <telerik:RadDockZone ID="xxx" runat="server">
                <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="xxx" UpdateMode="Conditional">
                    <ContentTemplate>
                        <telerik:RadDock runat="server" ID="xxx">
                            <ContentTemplate>
                                <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="xxx" UpdateMode="Conditional">
                                    <ContentTemplate>
                                        ...

                                    </ContentTemplate>
                                </asp:UpdatePanel>
                             </ContentTemplate>
                         </telerik:RadDock>
                     </ContentTemplate>
                </asp:UpdatePanel>
            </telerik:RadDockZone>
        </telerik:RadDockLayout>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
...

(note that each UpdatePanel has appropriate AsyncPostBackTriggers set)

One of the pages dynamically adds the RadDocks at run-time, and the other has the RadDocks hard-coded.  The issue is that when any RadDock is moved/minimized/closed within the dynamic page, all other RadDocks are refreshed.  When any RadDock is moved/minimized/closed within the hard-coded page, all other RadDocks remain untouched.  What I want is the latter effect, where I can alter one RadDock and others will remain untouched.

How can I make this happen?  Anything with ViewState?  With more/less UpdatePanels?  With changing UpdateModes?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ryan,

Take a look at the following modification of the My Portal example. It uses a hidden UpdatePanel where the docks are added to, and loads a client script from the server to dock them to the respective dock zone. This way only the dock that is closed/moved/collapsed is refreshed and not all of the RadDocks present on the page.

Let us know if you have other questions.
