I am building a custom masterpage based upon the blueband.master master page.  I have a radtabpane control for navigation and have added a radsplitter.  Relavent code: 

                            <telerik:RadSplitter Runat=server id="RadSplitter1" Height="100%" Width="100%" Skin="Office2007">  
                                <telerik:RadPane Runat="server" id="RadPane1" Scrolling="None">  
                                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server" />  
                                </telerik:RadPane>  
                                <telerik:RadSplitBar Runat="server" id="RadSplitBar1" CollapseMode="Backward" />  
                                <telerik:RadPane Runat="server" id="RadPane2" Width="200px" Scrolling="None" MaxWidth="200" MinWidth="200">  
                                <telerik:RadPanelBar Runat="server" id="RadPanelBar1" Skin="Office2007">  
                                    <Items>  
                                        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Hot Topics">  
                                            <ItemTemplate>  
                                                <cc1:SiteNews ID="SiteNews1" runat="server" ListName="Hot Topics"/>  
                                            </ItemTemplate>  
                                        </telerik:RadPanelItem>  
                                        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="News and Events">  
                                            <ItemTemplate>  
                                                <cc1:SiteNews2 ID="SiteNews2" runat="server" ListName="Hot Topics"/>  
                                            </ItemTemplate>  
                                        </telerik:RadPanelItem>  
                                    </Items>  
                                </telerik:RadPanelBar>  
                                </telerik:RadPane>  
                            </telerik:RadSplitter>  
 

cc1:SiteNews2 and cc1.SiteNews are custom controls.  It doesn't matter if they are in there or not, it still gives the error.
The page I am having a problem with is empty except for I have added an announcements web part (OOTB).  When I attempt to edit an item and save it I get this error:

Invalid JSON primitive: .

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Invalid JSON primitive: .

If I remove the code posted in the first code block the error goes away and I can save the item.

The silence is deafening.  LOL.  Did I post this in the wrong place or something? 

I have played around with this a lot, the only way to get the error to go away is to remove the RadSplitter from the masterpage (not a solution).  I have also seen another strange behavior:  When you maximize the window the splitter doesn't resize to fill the screen despite being set to 100%.  If I resize the browser it does but not if I "restore down" or maximize it.

Hi Chris Duden,

I apologize for the late response. There is SP1 of 2009.1.311 RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX release scheduled for next week. So as you can Imagine we are overwhelmed with work. As you know the new version of Internet Explorer has been released. So one of the main goals of this service pack is fixing some IE8 issues.

Now on the problem. Actually I was able to achieve the functionality that you describe in your post. In order to do so I strictly followed the following help articles.
1.  Extending your MOSS site with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX 3.5
2. Deploying RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax
3. Incorporating RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax in MOSS WebSites

Please make sure that you followed these articles strictly, in order to enable RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX in your web site.

If reviewing the articles does not help, we will need some additional information. I can see that you opened a support thread pointing to this forum thread. You can provide us with your web.config file there.

For your convenience I will paste this answer in the support article as well. Also I will attach a movie, where you can see my test.


Kind regards,
