I’m using RadGrid for editing and inserting row in the place of using asp.net form view. I’m passing the parameter to select the row for editing through query string.I’m assigning that query string to session variable in page load event and that session variable serves as select parameter in SQL Data source.If I get the required query string I’m putting RadGrid in Item Edit Mode and if not It will open the RadGrid in Item Insert mode.Inside Form Template I’ve a checkbox and asp.net panel that wraps all other contents of Form Template. I have an event to handle check box checked status changed.In that event I’m enabling and disabling the panel based on if the checkbox is checked or not.

I’ve RadAjaxManager in place with Ajax settings. I’ve an AJAX setting in that RadAjaxManager with AjaxControlID as ID of the checkbox and AJAX updated control ID as the ID of the panel. So If I check or uncheck the checkbox In either Edit Mode or Insert Mode the panel should be enabled or disabled through AJAX partial post back.

Problem/Bug:

If the page loaded in insert mode for the first time and if I check the checkbox it is doing full post back and I can observe that clearly. (This is not expected behaviour).If I check the checkbox again it is doing partial ajaxified post back.But In Edit mode it is working fine (doing partial ajaxified post back) at all time.How I can fix this issue. For your reference I’ve attached the aspx and code behind file for you. It is stopping us from progressing further; your help would be very much appreciated.

Hello Edward,

There are several issues with your AJAX settings and your current scenario. First, you specify server IDs of controls that are instantiated multiple times in a template. However, if you happen to initialize 2 edit forms at once, or an edit form and an insert form, which CheckBox and which Panel should get AJAX? One AJAX setting refers to one initiator and one updated control. Also, you can specify declarative AJAX settings only for controls that can be found either directly at the page level, or using FindControl() from the page. In effect, you are not advised to use declarative AJAX settings for control nested in naming containers or binding containers (that multiply them when databound). In your scenario, you have to programmatically add AJAX settings for these nested controls instead. Furthermore, you have to make sure your AJAX settings are added exactly once.

You can actually put an item in edit more, or put the master table in insert mode right on initial load where you check your query string parameters. I have attached a test page to demonstrate this. Check it out.

Hello Edward,

Forgot to remove the declarative AJAX setting from the RadAjaxManager in the test page. Your RadAjaxSettings are all created in the code-behind, so you do not have any AJAX settings in the markup:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Hi Amit,

As this thread is rather old and since the last reply we have made several improvements in the RadAjax behavior it would be best if you could open s separate forum post/support ticket which presents the exact scenario you have and the problematic behavior you are facing. Thus we will be able to concentrate on your specific case and advise you further.
