Hello,

I have the following structure:

Master Page
         Master Menu
         Contentplaceholder (side bar)
         Contentplaceholder (main content)

The master menu loads content pages that have content specific navigation in the side bar.

The problem I'm having is with a content page that has a dropdown and a RadMenu in the "side bar" placeholder that are used to change selectparameters for a grid in the "main content" placeholder.
I can get a label in the "main content" to update, but the grid won't rebind. SQL server profiler shows no activity, so the rebind isn't firing for some reason.

Thx in advance for help and/or pointers !!

Hi Marcus,

The reason for this behavior is the nested ajax. 

Everything on the master page, including the ContentPlaceHolder is wrapped into AJAX, then on the content page, the controls are wrapped additionally into AJAX using AjaxManagerProxy.

More specifically, this part enables AJAX for the Panel that contains the ContentPlaceHolder.

<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy runat="server">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="usrDD">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="GridPanel" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadMenu2">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="GridPanel" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy>

 

<asp:panel runat="server" ID="GridPanel">
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainPlaceHolder" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:panel>

 

Then, on the content page where the Grid is located, the Grid itself is being ajaxified again.

<telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy runat="server">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid1">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="SavedChangesList" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManagerProxy>

You'll need to eliminate the nested structure and make sure controls are Ajaxified only once, see the following forum thread: https://www.telerik.com/forums/paging-not-work-after-the-first-click#V6RCv9jg6EqvK3rdcrWJeA

Attila,

I have tried all the alternatives you reference in your other post and none of them achieve the desired result. Would you perhaps have a demo project available that uses Master-content pages with a grid in a placeholder that I can use as a reference?

Thx in advance - M.

Hi Marcus,

Below you can find an tow examples. One for showing how to enable AJAX for controls individually on the MasterPage, ContentPage and WebUserControl. The second example shows how to enable AJAX for ContentPage and their child controls from Master.

Enable AJAX individually for controls on the MasterPage, ContentPage and WebUserControl.

MasterPage.master

<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>

 

 

The same theory applies for other controls as well.
