[Solved] Parallel loading is supported in Prometheus RadAjax for Loading Image.

[Subodh]

Hi,

We are creating a SharePoint Dashboard which uses 6 different WebParts, by changing the value in provider WebPart all other consumer WebPart updates itself and during loading of data the loading image is shown. This we are doing using AjaxControlTool kit. In previous version of Telerik (Asp.net UpdatePanel Control) the update panel fires a serial request. While Prometheus is developed on ASP Ajax, so I want to know, is new version of update Panel will work like AjaxControlToll Kit.

Thanks

Hi Subodh,

Unlike the previous version of RadAjax, multiple requests are no longer supported - this is another ASP.NET AJAX limitation. E.g. if you start one request, subsequent are ignored until the first response is received. You can see the current known limitations here and the imposed changes here.

All the best,

Hi Steve,

Thanks for kind reply, I got your point. We want to know that may be request is fired serially in each and every webpart but response should be shown at once. This we are able to achieve using ASP.net Ajax  and we have used UpdatePanel. This works fine for us. But our problem is we want to use complete solution from Telerik. We stuck at serial loading behavior of Update Panel from Telerik.

Hello Subodh,

Our RadAjaxPanel Prometheus is based on MS AJAX UpdatePanel, so it behaves in the same manner. Can you post a sample simple page that shows the different behavior of asp:UpdatePanel and telerik:RadAjaxPanel from Prometheus?

Best wishes,

Hi Steve,

As per our understanding, only 7 controls have been released on the Prometheus platform in the Q3 2007 update. RadAjax Panel is not one of them. So is the latest panel still on the Telerik native AJAX implementation? Since the final release of Prometheus controls is due in march '08, we have not tried using the panel. Kindly confirm if we can use this for our further development.

Thanks for your quick response.

Hi Subodh,

RadAjax controls exist in Prometheus since the first Prometheus RadControls release. Also, the Q3 2007 contains almost all of the classic RadControls counterparts including the Grid, Combobox, TreeView.

I should add that the Q3 2007 Service Pack is almost ready for release and we always recommend using the latest version for development.

Should you have other questions, do not hesitate to write us back.
