I load Usercontrols dynamically in RadDocks.

I wish to Edit, update, cancel edition, see details of an Employee etc.

How can I do this ? I'm always getting the mistake : "Several controls with same ID have been found".

Also, please tell me if I can do better. Thanks

This is my user control :

Hello RadTony,

The problematic code is the following:

RadDock dock = new RadDock();

dock.UniqueName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

dock.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName);

dock.Title = "Title";//dt.Rows[i]["FirstName"].ToString() + " " + dt.Rows[i]["LastName"].ToString();

dock.TitlebarContainer.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center;

dock.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(table);

RadDock dockSpace = new RadDock();

dockSpace.UniqueName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

dockSpace.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName);

dockSpace.Style["Width"] = "900px";

Notice the highlighted lines - dock and dockSpace will have the same ID and an error will be thrown. So if you replace dockSpace.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName); with
dockSpace.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dockSpace.UniqueName); there shouldn't be any problems. You should dynamically create RadDock's in the Page_Init so that the docks will be positioned in the correct zone and at the correct index (if you plan on saving the DockState). Please take a look at the following projects from our Code Library. They show how to dynamically create docks and save their state in DB:
