newbie asked on 08 Jul 2010, 06:59 PM

Hi,

I have a grid on one of my pages that take a long time to load. The first page load shows a blank screen till the time the grid is loaded. I need to show a loading panel while the grid is loading on the initial page load.

I have master content pages in my app and the RadAjaxManager resides on the master page.

I tried to follow the examples here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ajxshowloadingpaneloninitialpageload.html
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ajax-manager-proxy.html

However, my manager_AjaxRequest never seems to fire.

Below is my aspx code. A working sample will be appreciated.

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true"

CodeFile="Calendar.aspx.cs" Inherits="Calendar" %>

scrollArea.style.height = dataHeight + 17 + "px";
