LinkButton in RadListView inside UserControl is not firing click event.

[Damodar]

Hi,

I have page it contains 3 user controls.
Each user control contains RadListView in which there are list of link buttons.

Why is click event is not firing when user clicks link button?

Best Regards,

Click event fires only if I load the RadListView in user controls Init method?

Question:
I registered all three user controls in the page.
When ever click event is fired it will load all 3 user controls' Init method.
Even though link button is clicked in user control 1.
 
How to load only user control whose link button is clicked?
(As RadListView is loading data from data base)
OR Stop loading all user controls!

Is there better way to load user controls in aspx page depending on your choice?

Best Regards,
Damodar

Any chance you could post your code here ?

God !! Some formatting never hurt anyone plz :) Ctrl-K + Ctrl-D is your friend.

I bet your code as shown here doesn't compile right ?
So far I can only strongly advise you to revise the way you are loading your usercontrols. Check this demo using the RadAjaxManager here and its online documentation there

You should be alright with that.
Let me know how you go.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the tips for formatting :). 

I have master page while trying the tutorial, I got following error. 

Multiple controls with the same ID 'ControlHardware' were found. FindControl requires that controls have unique IDs.

When I checked
public void LoadUserControl(string controlName) ran two times.
If I put
	if (LatestLoadedControlName != null)
	{
		LoadUserControl(LatestLoadedControlName);
	}
    else
	LoadUserControl("~/Control/Hardware.ascx");
Is there any way we can stop it?
Best Regards,
Damdoar

May be you could try something like this (considering "PContent" is an asp:Panel):

private string LatestLoadedControlName
{
    get
    {
        return (string)ViewState["LatestLoadedControlName"];
    }
    set
    {
        ViewState["LatestLoadedControlName"] = value;
    }
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (LatestLoadedControlName != null)
    {
        LoadUserControl(LatestLoadedControlName);
    }
    else
    {
        LoadUserControl("~/Control/Hardware.ascx");
    }
}

public void LoadUserControl(string controlName)
{
    if (LatestLoadedControlName != null)
    {
        Control previousControl = PContent.FindControl(LatestLoadedControlName.Replace("~/Control/", "").Split('.')[0]);
        if (!Object.Equals(previousControl, null))
        {
            this.PContent.Controls.Remove(previousControl);
            previousControl.Dispose();
        }
    }
    string userControlID = controlName.Replace("~/Control/", "").Split('.')[0];
    Control targetControl = PContent.FindControl(userControlID);
    if (Object.Equals(targetControl, null))
    {
        UserControl userControl = (UserControl)this.LoadControl(controlName);
        userControl.ID = userControlID.Replace("/", "").Replace("~", "");
        this.PContent.Controls.Add(userControl);
        LatestLoadedControlName = controlName;
    }
}

Obviously your code can't work and loops indefinitely (shouldn't there be an exception). It runs only twice b/c it fails the second time.
Let say that on the first call your LatestLoadedControlName is equal to null, therefore it loops back to the same method and tries to load your "~/Control/Hardware.ascx".
This time your string controlName is equal to "~/Control/Hardware.ascx" but you never use it anyway ???? Hence you try to load your "~/Control/Hardware.ascx" again and again and again and ......

If your LatestLoadedControlName != null then you end up in an infinite loop.


Dude, my advise ? Read your code carefully.

Hi Chris,

Thanks! 
Thought telerik code works out of box.
Didn't realize telerik example code need to be modified.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your help.

Page load is hitting two times, When every list button is clicked.
Can we stop this? I am not sure why is this happening.
