Radlistview, seofriendlypage and Web User Control

[James Shelton Agar]

Hi I have a grid as following

  <telerik:RadListView ID="AListGrid" runat="server" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="10"
                AllowCustomPaging="True" ItemPlaceholderID="PropertiesContianer">
                <LayoutTemplate>
                    <fieldset id="RadListView1">
                        <div class="proGridTopPager">
                            <telerik:RadDataPager ID="RadDataPager2" runat="server" Style="border: none;" SkinID="ListViewSkin"
                                AllowSEOPaging="true" SEOPagingQueryPageKey="Page">
                                <Fields>
                                    <telerik:RadDataPagerButtonField FieldType="FirstPrev" />
                                    <telerik:RadDataPagerButtonField FieldType="Numeric" />
                                    <telerik:RadDataPagerButtonField FieldType="NextLast" />
                                </Fields>
                            </telerik:RadDataPager>
                        </div>
                        <asp:PlaceHolder ID="PropertiesContianer" runat="server" />
                        <telerik:RadDataPager ID="RadDataPager1" runat="server" Style="border: none;" SkinID="ListViewSkin"
                            AllowSEOPaging="true" SEOPagingQueryPageKey="Page">
                            <Fields>
                                <telerik:RadDataPagerButtonField FieldType="FirstPrev" />
                                <telerik:RadDataPagerButtonField FieldType="Numeric" />
                                <telerik:RadDataPagerButtonField FieldType="NextLast" />
                            </Fields>
                        </telerik:RadDataPager>
                    </fieldset>
                </LayoutTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <osl:descContent ID="lbltest" runat="server" Text="" />
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadListView>

and in my code-behind, i got

Private Sub AListGrid_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadListViewItemEventArgs) Handles AListGrid.ItemDataBound
 If (TypeOf (e.Item) Is RadListViewDataItem) Then
   Dim dataBoundItem = DirectCast(e.Item, RadListViewDataItem)
   Dim atest = DirectCast(dataBoundItem.FindControl("lbltest"), descContent)
   atest.Text = "test"
 End If
End Sub

it works only on first page, not the 2 second and etc, even if we start with second page, the web user control does not render (it just contain a simple label)

Telerik version 2010.1.316.35

It seems calling ItemDataBound event twice if page >1, any idea?

Hello James,

The behavior that you are experiencing is pretty much expected. It happens due to the fact that when the page bigger than default which is first page, data pager control triggers rebind on list view control.
However this rebind(ItemDataBound handler) actually occurs after Page_Load(which the user control uses for populating the label) and thus the label has default value of Text member. To overcome this you have two options:

 - use simple data binding - as with regular MS ListView control
 - convert Text member of the user control as property that delegates its value directly to label Text property

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,

Thank you for your response.

however, simple binding doesn't seems to work either in my case.

I have overcome this problem by put a placeholder in itemtemplate, and 

Dim aplace = DirectCast(dataBoundItem.FindControl("PlaceHolderFeatureIcons"), PlaceHolder)

Dim actrl As Descontent = LoadControl("~/control/yourcontrol.ascx")

actrl.text ="Hello World"

aplace.Controls.Add(actrl)
