Page.IsValid incorrect when RenderSelectedPageOnly=true in RadMultiPage

[Craig Wallace]

Hi,

I have a RadTabStrip tied to a RadMultiPage.  The RadTabStrip has CausesValidation="false" and the ontabclick event is handled.  In the event handler, I call Page.Validate() and then inspect Page.IsValid.  When the RadMultiPage control has RenderSelectedPageOnly="false", this works as expected.  When it has RenderSelectedPageOnly="true", my validator is effectively ignored and Page.IsValid is returned as true.

Example code:

    <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="rsm" runat="server"></telerik:RadScriptManager>

        <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadTabStrip1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadTabStrip1" />
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadMultiPage1" />
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="ltResult" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

    Result: <asp:Literal ID="ltResult" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Literal>
    <br />

    <telerik:RadTabStrip ID="RadTabStrip1" runat="server" MultiPageID="RadMultiPage1"
            ontabclick="RadTabStrip1_TabClick" SelectedIndex="0" CausesValidation="false">
        <Tabs>
            <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab1" PageViewID="RadPageView1" Selected="True">
            </telerik:RadTab>
            <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Root RadTab2" PageViewID="RadPageView2">
            </telerik:RadTab>
        </Tabs>
</telerik:RadTabStrip>
    </div>
    <telerik:RadMultiPage ID="RadMultiPage1" Runat="server" SelectedIndex="0" RenderSelectedPageOnly="false">
        <telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageView1" runat="server">
            Tab 1 content:  <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfv_TextBox2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox2" ErrorMessage="Client Error">
                            </asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
        </telerik:RadPageView>
        <telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageView2" runat="server">
            Tab 2 content:
        </telerik:RadPageView>
    </telerik:RadMultiPage>

protected void RadTabStrip1_TabClick(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadTabStripEventArgs e)
        {
            Page.Validate();
            if (Page.IsValid)
            {
                ltResult.Text = "page is valid";
            }
            else
            {
                ltResult.Text = "page is not valid";
            }
        }

If you run this code and click on the second tab, the ltResult control shows "page is not valid".  This is correct as there is a requiredfieldvalidator in the RadPageView.  If you change the value of RenderSelectedPageOnly to "true", the ltResult control shows "page is valid", which is incorrect.

In reality, my page has several RadPageView controls with dynamically loaded usercontrols containing a lot of content.  I need to be able to set RenderSelectedPageOnly="true" to save on bandwidth and client processing time.  Can you tell me how to get this working with RenderSelectedPageOnly="true"?

I am using Version 2010.3.1215.40 of Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax.

Thanks,

Craig

It seems this issue was fixed sometime between Version 2010.3.1215.40 and Version 2011.1.519.40 as it works fine in the latter.

Hi Veronica,

Is it not already fixed?  I do not get the same problem in 2011.1.519.40

Hello Craig,

Please accept my apologies for misleading you. This one is fixed in version 2011.1 519 as you may see in the Release History:

Fixed: RadMultiPage: RenderSelectedPageOnly property was applied multiple times and too early in the Page Lifecycle, setting non-selected PageViews to Visible=false and causing troubles persisting state of some of the controls inside the views

Hi Veronica,

I'm getting the same issue on 2011.2.915.35.

The Validators  that are not in the currently rendered tab are ignored when I call Page.Validate(). Each tab has a user control for content..

Any help with this would be appreciated :)

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="TabStrip" runat="server" SelectedIndex="0" OnTabClick="TabStrip_TabClick"  MultiPageID="MultiPage" AutoPostBack="true"  CausesValidation="false">
            <Tabs>
                <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Selected="True" Text="Main"  >
                </telerik:RadTab>
                <telerik:RadTab runat="server" Text="Assessors">
                </telerik:RadTab>
            </Tabs>
        </telerik:RadTabStrip>
        <telerik:RadMultiPage ID="MultiPage" runat="server" SelectedIndex="0"   AutoPostBack="true"  RenderSelectedPageOnly="true">
            <telerik:RadPageView ID="PageViewMain" runat="server" >
                <uc1:AssessmentMainManage ID="AssessmentMainManage1" runat="server"></uc1:AssessmentMainManage>
            </telerik:RadPageView>
            <telerik:RadPageView ID="PageViewAssessors" runat="server">
                <uc1:CdisSelector ID="CdisSelectorAssessors" SessionFieldForGridDataSource="Assessor" runat="server"/>
        </telerik:RadMultiPage>

Hi Rafael ,

The behavior that you experience is not related to the previously mentioned bug. What you experience as a behavior is the expected one. When your other controls are not rendered on the page it's expected that their validators won't be fired, and the ones which will be fired are the validators in the rendered pageview.

Hi Veronica,
I am getting same problem. I am using 2011.2.915.35 dll.
My issue is -  i have two tabs and each tab is having required field validator and save button outside the tabstrip. When i click save button it fires validator of the current page view but ignores the second one and Page.Isvalid property becomes true. 

But what i want is, when any of the validator fails it shouldnt allow to save.

Please Let me know what has to be done.

Regards,
Abhijit.
