Hi all I am using RadGrid in my application, as I want my RadGrid not to refresh I had my RadGrid in an Update Panel as follows
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">
            <Triggers>
            <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="RadGrid1" EventName="ItemCommand" />
                <%--<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="RadGrid1" />--%>
            </Triggers>
            <ContentTemplate>
                <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand"
                    OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
                    <MasterTableView Width="950" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="EmpID" GridLines="None"
                        TableLayout="Auto">
                        <Columns>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmpID" HeaderText="Emp ID" ReadOnly="true" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left"
                                ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" UniqueName="EmpID" FilterControlWidth="30px"
                                AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" />
                            <telerik:GridButtonColumn DataTextField="ButtonName" ItemStyle-ForeColor="Blue" CommandName="Generate"
                                ConfirmTextFields="ButtonName" ConfirmTextFormatString="Would you like to  {0} ACH file ?"
                                ConfirmDialogType="RadWindow" Reorderable="false" UniqueName="ButtonName" ConfirmTitle="ACH File">
                            </telerik:GridButtonColumn>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployeeName" HeaderText="Employee Name" ReadOnly="true"
                                HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" UniqueName="EmployeeName"
                                FilterControlWidth="60px" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" />
                        </Columns>
                    </MasterTableView>
                </telerik:RadGrid>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>

When I click on download button I am unable to download the file this is my code in Itemcommand

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Generate")
        {
            Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename= errorLog.txt");
            Response.AddHeader("content-length", "0");
            Response.Flush();
            Response.End();
        }
    }
Can some one help me how can I work out this using AsyncPostBackTrigger

Hello,

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
            ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).RegisterPostBackControl(item["ButtonName"].Controls[0]);
 
        }
    }

Hi Jayesh,

I applied the same formula in my page but I still get an error while downloading files for the first time the file got uploaded via Edit Template. When I reload my page, I get the same error but I can then download file.

 

The error specifically I get is as below:

Data = Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack.

 

 

Thank you in advance,

M. Fawad Surosh

Hey hi Jayesh,

Here is my code below:

protected void attachmentHandler(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e, string userType)
 
{
try {
 const string Quote = "\"";
GridEditableItem dataItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
string fileName = dataItem[userType + "Attachment"].Text;
string path = Server.MapPath("~/Attachments/" + fileName);
if (e.CommandName == "Download" + userType + "Attachment")
{
if (e.Item is GridEditableItem)
{
string name = Path.GetFileName(path);
string ext = Path.GetExtension(path);
string type = "";
if (ext != null)
{
switch (ext.ToLower())
{
case ".docx":
case ".doc":
case ".rtf":
type = "Application/msword";
break;
case ".xls":
case ".xlsx":
case ".csv":
type = "Application/x-msexcel";
break;
default:
type = "text/plain";
break;
}
}
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=" + name.Remove(name.IndexOf("_!!_")) + ext);
if (type != "")
Response.ContentType = type;
Response.WriteFile(path);
Response.End();
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
String s = ex.Message;
}
}

Hi,

If you want to invoke download for a file from an AJAX-enabled control (either placed in RadAjaxPanel or ajaxified by RadAjaxManager), you cannot use the normal response.WriteFile function, because the XmlHttpRequest cannot handle this.
Please strictly follow the appraoch provided by Jayesh and see if it works.

Hi Maria and Jayesh,

The problem is: When the users open the form template and attach their files, they cannot download it after the file is uploaded unless they reload the page. This behavior is encountered if they do any type of action (Update/Insert/Cancel) in Form template. 

I am using AjaxManager with below code behind on ItemDataBound of grid but still no luck.

string[] uniqueNameArr = { "DownloadAtt", "DeleteAtt"};
foreach (string uniqueName in uniqueNameArr)
{                       ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).RegisterPostBackControl(dataItem[uniqueName].Controls[0]);             }

I also added this piece of code in my download procedure as below:

 

      Response.AddHeader("content-length", "0");
      //Response.WriteFile(path);
      Response.Flush();
      Response.End();

Hi Fawad,

Can you please inspect the response when the use attempts to download file first time and see if any errors appear in the browser's console?

Hi Maria,

below is the error that I traced from Chrome browser:

Uncaught Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed.

Onething more I have to add that even by injecting page reload: when I am returning to another page by pageNavigator, I still can't download files and get the same error although I can download anything on my first page.

Hi Fawad,

The method for registering the download link as PostBakc control works properly only in case the control is ajaxified with RadAjaxPanel control. Can you try using RadAjaxPanel instead of RadAjaxManager and see how it goes?

Hey Maria,

You are awesome, RadAjaxPanel worked for me!

I still don't understand why it was not working with RadAjaxManager.

Hi,

The reason is that the RegisterPostbackControl method is not applicable when the page is AJAX-enabled with RadAjaxManager.
This is described in the help topic below:

Hi Maria and Fawad,,

 

Can you please tell me how to use RadAjaxPanel instead of RadAjaxManager

Hi Rashmi,

You can warp all the control that you want to perform Ajax in a RadAjaxPanel control, instead of adding settings in RadAjaxManager. In case you are facing any problems in using the RadAjaxPanel on the page you can share your scenario so that we can suggest the best approach in your case.
