Thanks Vlad,

After playing around a bit, I've found that on many occasions(but not all the time), working in the properties menu and in design view will show temporary changes, but running the project or switching to code view causes the changes to revert to the original state. eg, Paging can not be modified by the properties window. In other situations(such as with docks), the code is messed up and will not compile untill you manually correct the problem.

This is very annoying. Are these controls designed for pure manual coding or have they been tested in VS Design View?

No problem,

I'll start with this latest issue first... I just tested it out and can confirm the following:

Using Prometheus Q1 2008

Create a new AJAX Toolkit Website(I never tried a standard AJAX site).
Open default.aspx(should already have AJAX Script Manager)
From design view:
Place a RadGrid on page,
    set datasource(to some source with many records),
    set paging = true
    from properties window, scroll to PagerStyle - Pager Mode
    select a different Mode. Run project to test(Note that this works fine)

Now change the skin for the grid to a custom one.
    Select EnableEmbeddedSkinning = False
    Enter the appropriate imagePath
    enter name of custom skin
Now try modifying Pager Mode again(using designer). This won't work. Though it looks like it has taken the new value, the grid will not visibly change in design view and the code will not be modified. Now the only way to make this change is to do it manually in aspx code.

That's it. I also have a query regarding column widths on this same forum. I could be wrong, but I think there is a problem with that too. Using filter fields seems to overwrite the width settings.

Thanks Vlad,

Now that you know about it, you probably would be able to figure out the different issues with it, but incase it helps, here's an addition to my earlier description:

When EmbeddedSkin is set back to True, functionality does not seem to return. Control must be replaced. This is also not just confined to this property. There are several more, but not all properties on the grid and dock controls that have the same issue.

Also I'm not sure if this has been fixed now(haven't had a chance to check it out), but using prometheus 2007 dropping or dragging a grid into a dock control caused dock to lose the </contentTemplate> tag. This has to be re-typed in manually every time some work is done with a control inside a dock.

I wonder, is there a scheduled final release date for Prometheus? Is it safe for me to use the current Q1 Preview now, expecting to upgrade it to the final release latere? Will the next release be compatible enough just to replace the DLLs and continue work on new pages on the site?

Thanks
Kia

Hello Kia,

We will do our best to address all reported issue with the Futures release of RadControls Prometheus until the official launch of Q1 2008, scheduled in the middle of the next week. You can consider the current Futures build as beta version/preview of the new major release of our Prometheus controls.

The upgrade process from the Futures build to the final release will not differ from any other upgrade. Detailed instructions about how to update our controls to another version or license you can find in the following section on our site:

Hi,

I tried everything and even waited to try this new version.

I've followed the exact instructions for upgrading. After many different tests, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is deffinitely related to the custom skinning issue.

Though other issues from Prometheus were solved related to custom skins. This one seems to remain. Please follow instructions below to replicate:

On a aspx page add a new grid and connect to a datasource. Then using the Property Builder, add a detail level and click OK. Note that the expand column shows an image by default.

Now change the skin: Select EnableEmbeddedSkins=False, set the correct image folder, enter name of the custom skin, enter the skin CSS into the aspx. Now you will notice that the images in the expand column turn into buttons.

I find this to happenning consistency enough to look like a bug. Otherwise I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,
Kia

Hello Kia,

In order to make the image apply you should also set the ExpandCollapseColumn button type to ImageButton on the page OnInit event like this:

    
            protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) 
        
                {    
        
                    base.OnInit(e); 
        
                    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExpandCollapseColumn.ButtonType = Telerik.Web.UI.GridExpandColumnType.ImageButton; 
        
                }

A sample project is attached for reference.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

All the best,
