[Solved] Postbacks are alternating between Full Postback and Ajax Partial Postback.

[Brent]

Hi,

I have a very strange problem where on every click on a RadContextMenu, my page alternates between doing a Full Page Postback and Ajax Partial Page Postback.  Here is the scenario:

- I'm using the RadAjaxManager and loading my ajaxsettings in Page_Load.  They do load correctly on every postback (full and partial).
- I am attempting to ajaxify a RadContextMenu, so that all items on the context menu do an ajax partial page postback.
- My RadContextMenu is displayed by clicking on an asp ImageButton (OnClientClick calls the show method).  I got the javascript to show it, directly from your PopUp menu demo at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/Menu/Examples/ContextMenu/PopupMenu/DefaultCS.aspx
- The ImageButton is inside of an ASP Panel, while the RadContextMenu is outside of that panel.  Don't know if that information is relevant.

Here is the behavior I see:
- My page loads for the first time and I click the image button.  The context menu is displayed and I click an item on it.
RESULT:  I get a FULL page postback.

- I immediately click on the image button again.  The context menu is displayed and I click an item on it.
RESULT:  I then get a partial page postback that updates only the controls that I want to update.

From then on, I can just keep repeating the above test and my results alternate between the first result (full page postback) and the second result (partial page postback).

MORE INFORMATION:
- I just noticed that the problem is also happening on a grid filter on this same user control.  So, it isn't just a problem with my contextmenu.

Also, let me add that this is a usercontrol inside of an aspx page, where the aspx page contains a tabstrip and a multipage control, and I am ajaxifying both of them as below, because my tabstrip does a postback:

SecurityMainRadAjaxManager.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(tabStrip, tabStrip,

null);

 

SecurityMainRadAjaxManager.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(tabStrip, tabMultiPage, SecurityRadAjaxLoadingPanel);

Could ajaxifying the tabstrip and multipage have something to do with this.  It seems like those ajax settings are conflicting / messing up other ajax settings within user controls that are displayed in pages of the multipage.

What on earth could be happening?  What could I be doing wrong?  Any ideas on what to try?

Thanks In Advance,
Brent

Hi Brent,

Unfortunately I could not reproduce this issue. I created a test project in my attempt to recreate the abnormality explained so far. I used the latest official build of RadControls. I've attached my sample web site project to this forum thread. Please examine it and tell me if I am missing something.

If the problem persists, I suggest you open a support thread and send us the modified test project reproducing the problem. Thus I will do my best to assist you further in resolving it.

I'm having this exact same issue. Did you find out what was wrong or were you able to fix it?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I got pulled away from this to work on something else.  So, no, I never did find a cause or solution.
