[Solved] Refresh entire page from ajaxified control

[Dennis]

Is there a way to cause a full page refresh from an ajaxified control?

Here is the scenario:
I have a ajaxified grid with a delete column that is in a user control. When the user clicks the delete button, if an error occurs, I would like to be able to write the error to an error control that I have on the master page.

I have been able to add it to the property required to display the error messages, but because the page isn't being redrawn, the error message never displays and the user is left wondering why the record didn't delete.

Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

One possible option in this case would be to refresh the page on the client, like this:

.js

function refresh()
{
    window.location.reload();
}
</script>

Thanks Yavor.

I put this function in the .js file the master page is using. How do I call this method from the user control's code behind file?

Hi Dennis,

The following topic includes additional information on one possible option in this case.
I hope it helps.

Thanks Yavor. That doesn't really seem to help.

I would think that other people have run into this issue before.

How do people display errors that occur in ajaxified user controls to the page if the page never refreshes?
I would think that they would have to have some way to tell the user that an error occurred in the control. I can't image having a component that reads or inserts data into a database, encounters an error and doesn't tell the user. It would just look like nothing is happening.

I tried to redirect to the current page, but then I lose the values that I have been working with.

Thanks for your help,
Dennis

Yavor,

I tried your code sample in my user control component.
In the delete method of the user control, it catches the exception and, for now, runs this code:

string

 

script = "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('hi');</script>";

 

 

CommentsRadAjaxPanel.Controls.Add(

new LiteralControl(script));

Nothing displays on the screen when this code runs. I was expecting an javascript alert window.

Hi Dennis,

Based on this information, it is hard to determine what is causing the script to fail.
If the issue persists, you can open a formal support ticket, and supply a small project, demonstrating your logic, for additional review.

Dennis,

Maybe it is too late for you but this solution may be useful for others.

This works for me. After an ItemCommand in my grid (insert, delete), I wanted too refresh a control outside my grid.

Try to add a RadAjaxManager:

<

 

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

 

    <AjaxSettings>  

 

        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="yourGrid"> 

 

            <UpdatedControls> 
                         <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="yourControlOutsideYourGrid" />  

 

            </UpdatedControls>  

 

        </telerik:AjaxSetting>  

 

    </AjaxSettings>  

 

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

 Good Luck.
