Something special?

[Joe]

Is there something special I have to do in order to have a RadFormDecorator on my aspx page?

I am having issues with a web app and the RadFormDecorator so I created a new blank asp.net C# web application.

In both, my working app and the new blank app, any page that has a RadFormDecorator will give me a message on the browser status bar about a picture downloading from a webresource.

On the new blank app, I went through the Configure Project wizard and did not enable ScriptManager CDN or StyleSheetManager CDN. Left the Telerik skin as Default and all other settings as default.

No clue how to proceed.

Hello Joe,

With the code provided we could not reproduce your issue. There is not something special to have on your page in order to run RadFromDecorator. The only thing is that it should not be placed in an update panel.

Here is a simple page showing how RFD is running without any special settings:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>
    <telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" DecoratedControls="All"
        Skin="Forest" />
    <asp:Button ID="rb1" runat="server" Text="Decorated Button" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

If you still have some problems, send us a simple sample project where the problems is reproduced so we would be able to investigate it further.

Best wishes,
