Hello Keith,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

I recommend that you examine the ASP.NET Master Pages Tutorial series to see how to use Master Pages in ASP.NET applications.

Please notice that we provide web UI controls and support for them and this question is a little bit out of our scope.

Mira,

I'm also interested in an answer for this topic as it pertains to using the Telerik controls. For example, you have several pages on this web site that discuss master pages with RadAjax, but they're all very fragmentary.

Some of the information I'd like to see is:

1. Is there a RadAjax content page and RadAjax master page template that can be used to streamline this process?

2. How do I set up the master page so my pages that inherit from it will have their controls working as expected? This is partially answered on page http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ajax-masterpage.html

3.  and its related links.
4. Once I have my master page set up, what's the best approach for implementing my other pages, particularly when taking advantage of a sitemap for navigation?
5. Do I create user controls or content pages for the descending content?
6. Whichever option is best, how do I make that content page RadAjax aware? Is it via the technique shown in http://www
7. .telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ajax-masterpage-update-everywhere.html? If so, can I avoid having to set the Page_Load code in every content page?
8. Can I have multiple forms on the ASP.NET content page? If so, how?

 

(Sorry for the weird formatting of my post - your rich editor obviously has some issues. I expected the numbering button to automatically select the paragraph boundaries of the text I'd selected. An undo would be very handy.)

Hello John,

The RadAjaxManagerProxy control can be used in scenarios with content pages / usercontrols.
You can also examine the following help topics:
Add AjaxSettings programmatically
RadAjax and WebUserControls

You can have only one form tag on the whole page. If you have a master page, it usually is in it.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, Mira. I think it would be useful to have Telerik templates for the master page and content pages instead of having to copy/paste that code to each page.

Hello John ,

Thank you for your feedback.

The User Controls/Master pages demo illustrates how RadAjaxManager control should be used in page->user control scenario. The same approach can be used in master->content page scenario.

Please examine it and let me know whether this is the desired functionality.

All the best,
