[Solved] LoadContentFrom partial view problem

[Mike Pateras]

I'm trying to create a model for a partial view to show in a PanelBar, but for some reason my data isn't making it to the partial view properly. In this code here: http://tinyurl.com/ya6ug52 I'm creating my model and passing it as a parameter to LoadContentFrom. When I hit the DropDown, the breakpoint in the controller method gets his, but while Model.URL has the correct data, Model.Dates is null.

What might cause this behavior?

I think I found the problem. The query string is being generated with an extra amp; in it, something like this:

?value1=somevalue&value2=whatever

So while the second parameter's value is there, and correct, it's not getting parsed properly. Is this a bug in the control?

Hi Mike Pateras,

In order to avoid this erroneous behavior you will need to open UI/NavigationItemLinkRenderer.cs file and replace this code snippet:

public void Start(T item, string url)
       {
           if (item.Enabled)
           {
                                           item.LinkHtmlAttributes.Merge("href",  System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode(url), false);
           }

           item.LinkHtmlAttributes.PrependInValue("class", " ", UIPrimitives.Link);
           writer.AddAttributes(item.LinkHtmlAttributes);
           writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.A);
       }

with this one:

public void Start(T item, string url)
{
    if (item.Enabled)
    {
        item.LinkHtmlAttributes.Merge("href", url, false);
    }

    item.LinkHtmlAttributes.PrependInValue("class", " ", UIPrimitives.Link);
    writer.AddAttributes(item.LinkHtmlAttributes);
    writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.A);
}

The fix will be included in one of the upcoming releases.
