RadControls Sharepoint

[Amahde]

I am trying to edit connected webpart to use the RadMager/Radpanel instead on an ajax update panel are there any C# examples, on this implimentation.

private void SetupSharePointAjax()

{

this._hostPanel = new UpdatePanel();

this._hostPanel.ID = AJAXCommon.AJAX_HOSTPANEL_NAME + this.ClientID;

this._hostPanel.UpdateMode = UpdatePanelUpdateMode.Conditional;

this._hostPanel.ChildrenAsTriggers = true;

this.Controls.Add(_hostPanel);

if (this.Page.Form != null)

{

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(

this, typeof(ClientsWebPart),

AJAXCommon.SHAREPOINT_AJAX_POSTBACK_SCRIPTNAME,

AJAXCommon.SHAREPOINT_AJAX_POSTBACK_SCRIPT,

true);

private

void CreateGrid()

{

_gridView.Columns.Clear();

AddColumnsToGrid();

this._scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this.Page);

if (_scriptManager == null) // Add a script manager

{

this._scriptManager = new ScriptManager();

this._scriptManager.EnablePartialRendering = true; // needed for Update Panel to work

this._scriptManager.EnableScriptLocalization = true;

this.Controls.AddAt(0, this._scriptManager); // Script Manager should be the first control on the form

}

this.SetupSharePointAjax();

Hello Amahde,

Basically, you can incorporate RadAjaxPanels in your Sharepoint webpart in the same way as you will do that with regular MS UpdatePanels. There is one detail which you need to have in mind when using RadAjaxManager inside your web part - it is explained in this section of the product documentation.

Thank you for your reply, is it posible to get something a little more specific.  Is there more information avilible or any specific examples I can leverage.below

I get the error below:

The control with ID 'radPanel1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it.

Hello Amahde,

Based on the exception stack trace, I think that the ScriptManager instance is not positioned as first control in the form and this is the reason for the error. Can you try replacing this line of code:

this.Controls.AddAt(0, this._scriptManager); // Script Manager should be the first control on the form

with this one:

this.Page.Form.Controls.AddAt(0, this._scriptManager); // Script Manager should be the first control on the form

to see whether this helps? You may also debug your code and examine the Controls collection of the page to determine the position of the ScriptManager control in it.
