Hi guys,

I'm new in developing WebParts for sharepoint 2007. I'm able to create a webpart using the RadControls like the "Demo (How to create a WebPart in sharepoint)" shows. my question:
After a controls fires a request, the whole webpart (onInit,onLoad...) is called so all controls where reloadet. In my oppinion ajax only should update on control not the whole webpart. Furthermore, when a controls fires a request, all webparts on the page will be reloadet.

Is this the way Ajax works with webparts?

Hello Jan,

How ASP.NET AJAX (and RadAjax in particular) works you can learn from the series of articles on this subject you can find on our blogs. The same concepts are applicable in SharePoint environment.

First thanks for you answer.
I read a lot about ajax and radajax thats why i am wondering why the webpart alsways reloads. Is this the normal case, that when i click on a button which is located on an RadAjaxPanel, that the whole webpart init methods are called and after them the handler of the button is called?
