VB Examples don't work

[Aron Calder]

Hi Telerik,

The vb.net examples for Dynamically Created Docks and My Portal don't work and give a script error.

C# examples work fine.

Has anyone managed to get the dynamic adding of docks to work with vb.net?

Many thanks

Aron

Yep, same problems here, the VB.NET example shows a javascript error:

$find("RadDockZone1").Dock is not a function

I believe the problem is related to automatic translation from C# to VB.NET, possibly using telerik's converter tool, because for simple increment is uses a complex conversion form, e.g.

System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(i),i - 1)

which is a problem with the telerik code converter shown in this forum thread:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-tmhat.aspx

In any case, I believe the only thing that is wrongly converted is the javascript registered with RegisterStartupScript. Replacing the generated string with

Dim s As String = "Sys.Application.add_load(function() { if (typeof(Telerik.Dock{0}Moved) === 'undefined')  {  $find('{1}').dock($find('{0}'));  Telerik.Dock{0}Moved = true;  }});"

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(UpdatePanel1, GetType(RadDock), "DockIntoZone", String.Format(s, dock.ClientID, RadDockZone1.ClientID), True)

should address the problem.

Thanks for the quick response surfer, still doesn't work unforunately.

Now get a "System.FormatException - Input string was not in a correct format."

Problem solved!

"$find('{1}').Dock($find('{0}'));

should read

"$find('{1}').dock($find('{0}'));"

Just needed a lowercase 'd' on the word 'dock'

Therefore full code line:

            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(UpdatePanel1, GetType(RadDock), "DockIntoZone", String.Format("" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "Sys.Application.add_load(function() {{" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(9) & "if (typeof(Telerik.Dock{0}Moved) === 'undefined')" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(9) & "{{" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(9) & "" & Chr(9) & "$find('{1}').dock($find('{0}'));" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(9) & "" & Chr(9) & "Telerik.Dock{0}Moved = true;" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(9) & "}}" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "}});", dock.ClientID, DropDownZone.SelectedValue), True)
