[Solved] Render Grid

[lampy]

Hello,

Is it possible to render a usercontrol containing an ASP.Net AJAX RadGrid via to string?  I have tried and failed and wanted to see if anyone has gotten it to work.  The code that I use to render is below.

public static string RenderView(string path, object data)
{
    Page pageHolder = new Page();
    UserControl viewControl = (UserControl)pageHolder.LoadControl(path);

    if (data != null)
    {
        Type viewControlType = viewControl.GetType();
        PropertyInfo propertyInfo = viewControlType.GetProperty("DetailsDataSource");

        if (propertyInfo != null)
        {
            propertyInfo.SetValue(viewControl, data, null);
        }
        else
        {
            throw new Exception("View file: " + path + " does not have a public Data property");
        }
    }

    pageHolder.Controls.Add(viewControl);

    StringWriter output = new StringWriter();
    HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(pageHolder, output, false);

    return output.ToString();
}

Hi lampy,

Unfortunately such scenario is not supported. The RadGrid control needs a real page with it's lifecycle.

Let us know if further questions arise.
