Hi,

We seem to be having a few problems moving to the Prometheus controls as you may gather from the other threads Ive created!

Another problem we have come across relates to the RadAjaxManager when used with an ASP.NET wizard. We have recretated the error in a basic two step wizard, with a RadGrid on the second step tied to an ObjectDataSource control. When no RadAjaxManager is present, the grid only calls its databind method when the user progresses to the second step in the wizard.

However, if a RadAjaxManager is present on the page and set with the Wizards Id as the initiating and updated controls then the databind happens as soon as the page loads. This means all wizard steps are loaded and bound at the initialisation step.

The problem arose in our application where a later wizard step requires values from an earlier step in its databind process. We have modified our code in this instance, but this is far from ideal as this implementation was not there with the previous pre-prometheus RadAjaxManager.

Any help appreciated.

Ive uploaded an example project that illustrates the problem for your use. Thisi s not isolated to setting the wizard as the initiating and updated control on a RadAjaxManager as originally thought, but more so when an RadAjaxManager is used in conjunction with a wizard.

[Link Removed]

The example consists of a wizard with 5 steps. Step 3 and step 5 both contain a grid which use an ObjectDataSource for their databinding. If you add a breakpoint to GetItems() and GetMoreItems() you can clearly see when the databinding takes place.

Further to the grids databinding being called upon loading of the wizard, the calls seem to be requested for every step in the wizard up to and including the step in which is the wizard is contained. (The grid in step 3 is bound in upon loading steps 1, 2 and 3 and the grid in step 5 is bound upon loading steps 1,2,3,4 and 5)

Hope this helps
