RadPersistManagerProxy and WebUserControls

RadPersistenceManager for ASP.NET AJAX allows a single instance of the control on the same page only. One cannot place manager in the main page and second instance inside a user control anymore. For such scenarios, you can use RadPersistenceManagerProxy inside a WebUserControl and configure it the same way as the manager. The following example demonstrates how to properly persist the state of RadGrid control inside a WebUserControl.

Content page

ASP.NET
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    (WebUserControl2.FindControl("RadPersistenceManagerProxy1") as RadPersistenceManagerProxy).UniqueKey = "2";
}

WebUserControl

ASP.NET

    RadGrid1.Rebind();
