Selected Item is restored when navigating away and then back

[Tim]

We have a RadTreeList that is inside an ASP.NET control.  On the Page_PreRender of the control we are resetting the selected item (TreeListName.Items[0].Selected = true). 

However, when we select something, navigate away from the page, and then back to the page the selected item is getting reset at some point to the selection that it was prior to navigating away.  This occurs despite the fact the the selection is getting forced in the PreRender event.

I believe this has something to do with Ajax and/or ViewState.  I tried turning off ViewState for the control using EnableViewState = false but the control did not render even though we are using the NeedDataSource event and there was a collection assigned to the DataSource within that event.  We have always used NeedDataSource so we know that it works when ViewState is enabled.

Do you have any suggestions or advice?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you please try to disable the Ajax on the page and see of this makes any difference? Also please elaborate on how exactly you navigate out of the page so that we can try to replicate the issue locally and advise you further.

Thank you.  We just press the back button to go back.  We cannot disable Ajax since we rely on it for the application.  I have included a skeleton project.  Follow the instructions on the main screen.  What we would expect is that either the selection is re-posted in a postback request (instead of a "GET" request) when you go back in the browser, or the selection does not change.  Either one would keep us from having issues.  

For the attached file, rename .png to .zip.

Thank you for your help.

We are using Telerik Web UI version 2015.1.401.40.  We are not able to upgrade at this time.

Hi,

I would suggests you to review the help topic below that explains how to keep the browser's history when browser's back and forward buttons are used with Ajax:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/ajax/troubleshooting/back-and-forward-browser-buttons

We are not trying to enable browser history.  We are trying to keep the functionality of your controls stable when someone uses the browser back button.  Your controls are not stable in this case.

The statement from your link of ""that is the reason for them not to remember the last page state after ajax request." does not apply to us.  Your control is trying to remember the last page state and is trying to set itself.

We would be fine if the control did not try to set itself at all.  Therefore, we do not need to research how to enable functionality that we don't want.

Please run and observe the skeleton project that I have attached.  Based on your response, it seems as though you have not done that.

 

Thanks,

Tim

Please note that the browser we used to replicate the issue was Chrome 52.0.2743.116, and earlier versions of Chrome.

[Tim]

I also just tried Firefox 48.0 and was able to replicate the issue.

Hello Tim,

Note that the png skeleton that you have sent can not be downloaded and renamed to zip as this is not allowed from our system in forum posts. Please open a separate official support ticket and send us your project as zip archive so that we can revise it locally and advise you further.

Currently, I am not able to open a support ticket.  If you are unable to log into this forum through another public login (like I am doing and most likely everyone else can do) and download the file (like most everyone can that creates any account tied to an email) then I guess I will have to drop it.

My hope is however that you just create some sort of account (tied to a gmail email or anything really) and access it outside of your system to get to the file.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Note that the forum threads does not allow attaching projects and this is company policy. I would suggest you to share your code using the code block formatting so that we can revise your code and advise you further.

Hi,

Can you please try to add the whole MultiPage control into the RadAjaxMnager settings instead of adding the TreeList independently and see if this makes any difference?

Regards,

[Tim]

I did that and it made no difference:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager runat="server" ID="amMain" EnableHistory="False" EnablePageHeadUpdate="False"
    UpdatePanelsRenderMode="Block" EnableAJAX="True">
    <AjaxSettings>
        <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="mpMain">
            <UpdatedControls>
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="mpMain" />
            </UpdatedControls>
        </telerik:AjaxSetting>
    </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

[Konstantin Dikov]

Hello Tim,

When you include the RadMultiPage in the RadAjaxSettings, you have to also include the RadTabStrip, because both controls are linked together and you should enable AJAX for them as documented in the following help topic:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/ajax/troubleshooting/tips-and-tricks-for-ajaxifying-specific-controls#ajaxifying-radmultipage-and-radtabstrip-controls

Additionally, could you please ensure that there are no JavaScript errors in the browser's console and that an AJAX requests are initiated when you move between the tabs, perform the select, etc.

Looking forward to your reply with the results.

Konstantin,

 

Do you have the ability to recreate the project yourself and run it yourself?  That was the purpose of creating a skeleton for you.  That way, we avoid this back-and-forth.

There are no JavaScript errors.  The AJAX requests are initiated.  I removed the RadMultiPage and the issue still occurs.  Here is the new code for WebForm1.aspx:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="Site1.Master"
    AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Backlog_11412_Skeleton.WebForm1"
    ValidateRequest="false" EnableEventValidation="false" %>
<%@ Register TagName="DocumentFormNavigator" TagPrefix="sem" Src="~/WebUserControl1.ascx" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeaderContentPlaceHolder" runat="Server">
    <asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="ScriptManagerProxy1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="SheetContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="SheetContentPlaceHolder" runat="Server">
<sem:DocumentFormNavigator ID="dfnMain" runat="server" Visible="true" AjaxManager="amMain" />

    <asp:Button ID="cmdSave" runat="server" Text="Postback" />

    <telerik:RadAjaxManager runat="server" ID="amMain" EnableHistory="False" EnablePageHeadUpdate="False"
        UpdatePanelsRenderMode="Block" EnableAJAX="True">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="TreeList1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="TreeList1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

</asp:Content>

Hello Tim,

Please check out the attached sample which demonstrates how to configure the ajax in order to perform an ajax request when you select an item.

Kostadin,

I don't understand the purpose behind that attachment.  I looked at the code and it is mostly identical to what I gave you.  Did you attach the wrong zip file?  The files in that zip are: Default.aspx, Default.aspx.cs, WebUserControl.ascx, and WebUserControl.ascx.cs.

 

Default.aspx is mainly identical to WebForm1.aspx that I provided.  The only difference is that you didn't use a master page, and you entered script references into the RadScriptManager.  Otherwise, everything else is the same.

Default.aspx.cs is identical to WebForm1.aspx.cs.

WebUserControl.ascx is identical to WebUserControl1.ascx, except for the name.

WebUserControl.ascx.cs is identical to WebUserControl1.ascx.cs except for the name.

 

The zip file as provided still reproduces the issue since it is the same code.

 

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Indeed the sample I prepared is based on the provided code and on my side no postback is perform after you select an item. Please check out the following video which demonstrates that a ajax request is performed once you select an item.

Kostadin,

You are very close.  You have recreated 1 of the 4 steps I suggest in order to show the issue.  You are correct.  It is an Ajax POST, not a postback.  I misspoke when I said that.  However, step 1 was never the actual issue.  You have to follow all 4 steps.  Here they are again:

1. Select Test2. This does a post (correct, a "post", not a "postback"). So, a "POST" request should be stored in your history.
2. Click on the "Navigate Away" link.
3. Click the browsers back button. Notice how Test1 is selected (because it is forced on WebUserControl1::Page_PreRender). Notice how a "GET" request was issued (something to do with the TreeList1 ajax setting in WebForm1 RadAjaxManager).
4. Click the "Postback" button. Notice how now Test2 is selected. What we would expect is that the "Test1" row would remain selected and it would not change.

 

Notice how in step 4 I tell you exactly what the issue is.  I also mentioned the actual issue throughout our posts here.  The issue is that the control is loading the row selection (Test2).  I never said the issue was about a "postback" in step 1.

To reproduce this, you will need the navigation link, and the button.  The code is simple.  Here is a page similar to your Default.aspx with the added elements:

<%@ Page Language="C#"
    AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Backlog_11412_Skeleton.WebForm1" %>
<%@ Register TagName="DocumentFormNavigator" TagPrefix="sem" Src="~/WebUserControl1.ascx" %>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <h2>1. Select Test2.  This does a post.  So, a "POST" request should be stored in your history.<br />2. Click on the "Navigate Away" link.<br />3. Click the browsers back button.  Notice how Test1 is selected (because it is forced on WebUserControl1::Page_PreRender).  Notice how a "GET" request was issued (something to do with the TreeList1 ajax setting in WebForm1 RadAjaxManager).<br />4. Click the "Postback" button.  Notice how now Test2 is selected.  What we would expect is that the "Test1" row would remain selected and it would not change.</h2>
