RadAjaxPanel not fire ResponseEnd and busybox stays on the Page.

[Nirnay Bansal]

Hi,

Following is my code for Page1 and Page2.
Page 1 is having a button under RadAjaxPanel, on the click of the button, user redirect to Page2 which actually spits .xls file and close himself.
User found himself on the same page Page1, because Page2 only spits xls in binary.

Problem:
After I click on button1 on Page1, busybox starts and continue to display even after I click "Save, Open or Cancel" button of file Download Dialogbox.

R&D:
I did some research and found that ResponseEnd is not firing, after we close File Download Dialogbox.

Page1:

Hello Nirnay,

The reason for your problem is that when you click the button an asynchronous call is being made to the server. However, on the server you are redirecting to a new page. The originating call never returns to the client (instead, the client receives a response telling it to redirect to the new page) and thus the ResponseEnd event is never raised.

I hope this clears up your confusion. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask.

Regards,
Kevin Babcock
