[Solved] Update after close window but not vCard

[Kurt Kluth]

Currently have a RadGrid that contains user information which they can click to edit the record or click on a button to download the vCard.  I would like it to refresh the grid after the user has closed the window.  However I do not need it to refresh if they click to download the vCard.  Can't seem to have it both ways at this time.  Any suggestions?  Tried removing the "Ajax" refresh but not positive it was working properly.

                            <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

                                            args.set_enableAjax(false);
                                    }

                                    function ShowEditForm(id, rowIndex) {

                                        var grid = $find("<%= _gridContacts.ClientID%>");

                                        var rowControl = grid.get_masterTableView().get_dataItems()[rowIndex].get_element();

Hi Kurt Kluth,

Please take a look at the following demo on Grid - Window Editing. It shows how to refresh grid after any Update/Insert operation. You can also add the ButtonColumn to the Grid in this demo and it doesn't cause any postback. If this doesn't help,  please elaborate what download is happening on vCard and provide the code if possible.

Thanks,
Princy

Princy,

Thank you for the reply as it helped me make some adjustments on the refresh.  The problem is with the vCard link: it will download properly if that is the 1st thing you do after loading a record.  However if you were to update a value in the grid via the window, upon refresh of the grid, the download will no longer work.  It returns the following error:

        Response.ContentType = "text/vcard"
        Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" & LCase(fName & "_" & lName) & "_business_card.vcf")
        Response.Flush()
        Response.Write(myCard.ToString())
        Response.End()

    End Sub

Note and don't know if it is relevant but I removed the update panel from the code example in the first post.  If I left it in it would cause the following error upon closing the radwindow and refreshing the grid:

_getUpdatePanelID JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'id' of undefined or null reference

Princy,

I was hoping to edit my previous entry as I realized it was quite lengthy and I think I can simplify my request.  The example you provided about refreshing the grid after window editing works.  What if I now wanted to download a record from the grid into a text file?  It won't allow me to do it as it produces the error that the page is already "written". 

Any suggestions?

Princy,

Any suggestions from my last post?

Thanks

Hi Kurt,

I would recommend you to check out the following blog post which elaborates more on the issue which you are facing and provides couple solutions to avoid it. Additionally I noticed that you are creating your own export functionality. If that is correct why don't you try exporting to CSV format which represent the grid content as a plain text?
