I have an application in SharePoint that contains a RadGrid whoe edit item calls a RadWindow to get some external information. This works fine when I run through testing in my visual studio environment, but as soon as I move it it's SharePoint home, it no longer returns the data. The main page with the RadGrid works fine, it calls the RadWindow fine (and everything in it works as expected), but once I hit the submit button, the RadWindow just closes and the data does not seem to go back to the Parent Window.

Ive based my code on this demo, and a various other links within the documentation that I can't fnd atm. Is there something different that needs to be done for the values to be returned to the parent window in SharePoint?

I'll try to give the main pieces of code blow:
First, from the main form: the RadWindow declaration:

    
            <telerik:RadWindowManager   
        
                    ID="RadWindowManager1" ShowContentDuringLoad="false"    
        
                    VisibleStatusbar="false" ReloadOnShow="true" runat="server">  
        
                    <Windows> 
        
                        <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" Width="350px" Height="450px" Title="Choose Assignees" 
        
                            Behaviors="Close" OnClientClose="OnClientClose"   
        
                            NavigateUrl="/UserControls/ProposalTasks/PeoplePickerDialog.aspx" Modal="True">  
        
                        </telerik:RadWindow> 
        
                    </Windows> 
        
            </telerik:RadWindowManager>

The field within the RadGrid that needs the data (note the inner Javascript is storing these clientIDs in an array for easy access) :

    
            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Assigned To" UniqueName="ASSIGNED_TO"   
        
                                        SortExpression="ASSIGNED_TO" DataField="ASSIGNED_TO">  
        
                                        <EditItemTemplate> 
        
                                             <script type="text/javascript">  
        
                                                 registeredTbAssignedElements.push('<%# Container.FindControl("rtbAssigned").ClientID %>');   
        
                                             </script>    
        
                                             <telerik:RadTextBox ID="rtbAssigned" runat="server" Rows="1" Columns="50" 
        
                                                    Text='<%#Bind("ASSIGNED_TO")%>' TextMode="MultiLine" > 
        
                                             </telerik:RadTextBox> 
        
                                             <asp:Button ID="btnGetNames" runat="server" Text="^" /> 
        
                                        </EditItemTemplate> 
        
                                        <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                            <asp:Label ID="lblAssignees" runat="server"   
        
                                                Text='<%# Eval("ASSIGNED_TO") %>'></asp:Label> 
        
                                        </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

The JavaScript related to the RadGrid on the arent page:

    
            <script type="text/javascript">  
        
                //global DOM ID registry for our rtbAssigned control.  filled up by scripts rendered from template fields.  
        
                var registeredTbAssignedElements = [];  
        
                // Rad Window functionality (for selecting assignees)  
        
                //<![CDATA[ 
        
                function openWin(radindex) { 
        
                    var tbAssignedclientID = registeredTbAssignedElements[radindex]; 
        
                    var currText = $get(tbAssignedclientID); 
        
                    var oWnd = radopen("/UserControls/ProposalTasks/PeoplePickerDialog.aspx?rowIndex=" + radindex + "&currentText=" + currText.value, "RadWindow1"); 
        
                } 
        
                function OnClientClose(oWnd, args) { 
        
                    //get the transferred arguments 
        
                    var arg = args.get_argument(); 
        
                    if (arg) { 
        
                        var radIndex = arg.indexID; 
        
                        var assignees = arg.assignees; 
        
                        var existingAssignees = $find(registeredTbAssignedElements[radIndex]); 
        
                            existingAssignees.set_value(assignees); 
        
                    } 
        
                } 
        
                //]]> 
        
            </script>

and that page's code behind, as it does a little bit of the setup work (although I don't think it's related to the problem).:

    
                   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        if (!IsPostBack)  
        
                        {  
        
                            if (Request["currentText"] != null)  
        
                            {  
        
                                rtbStart.Text = Request["currentText"];  
        
                            }  
        
                            if (Request["rowIndex"] != null)  
        
                            {  
        
                                txtRowID.Value = Request["rowIndex"];  
        
                            }  
        
                        }  
        
                    }  
        
                    protected void rcbAssigned_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        string newval = rcbAssigned.Text;  
        
                        // add the selected user to the listing  
        
                        string textboxValue = rtbStart.Text;  
        
                        if (textboxValue.Trim() == "")  
        
                            textboxValue = newval;  
        
                        else  
        
                            textboxValuetextboxValue = textboxValue + "; " + newval;  
        
                        rtbStart.Text = textboxValue;  
        
                    }

I know it's a lot of code to digest at once, but I need help here. As I said, all works perfect in the Visual Studio environment, but as soon as I move it to SharePoint the return variables don't work. Anyone have any idea whats happening?

Thanks,
Russell.
