    I have also written master pages solution for asp.net 1.1 to simplify building complex layout. sure, its not a full fledged master pages like microsoft stuff, but works very similiar in many cases. you have contentplaceholder and content controls to make a layout and override default content from master.

    This is how i use it:

    ASPX page:
        <bhm:content ContentPlaceHolderID="FormHolder" runat="server" id="Content2"> 
            Main form 
        </bhm:content> 

    Master page:
    <bhm:contentplaceholder id="FormHolder" runat="server">default master content</bhm:contentplaceholder> 

    Master pages are ascx files, ordinary web forms are aspx files.
    The only difference is that your codebehind in aspx inherits my BaseMasterPage class:

        public class WebForm1 : BaseMasterPage 
        { 
            private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
            {   
            }  
            #region Web Form Designer generated code 
            override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e) 
            { 
                InitializeComponent(); 
                base.OnInit(e); 
            } 
            private void InitializeComponent() 
            {     
                this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load); 
     
            } 
            #endregion 
        } 

    regards

    After using your controls, if I add to my pages other rad controls I get error like this one:

    Could not load file or assembly 'RadAjax.Net2, Version=1.6.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3f7b438d1c762d0b' or one of its dependencies. 
    The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) 


    Can you help me?

    Thanks

    rgf21/Russell: I'm currently testing this feature for my company (using the trial version Q1 2007) and I have the same error, were you able to find out the solution?  I cant seem to regenerate the bin folders.

    Thanks,

    Please note, if you are using .net 1.1 you should register assemblies of .net 1.1 version. so your RadAjax.Net2

    should be renamed to
    RadAjax

    Possible bug:
    When I create a webpage in a sub-folder off the root and use the Office2007MasterPage as the Master, I get a javascript error when it tries to load each of the panels in the menu.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    most probably you have relative paths in you head section where you include javascript library of ribbon bar. you can check it, and see if path starts without / at the beggining. i.e. ../script/file.js is relative path. you should use autogenerated paths using server variables to be undependant of where your files are.

    Here is what I have in my <head section:

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="Office2007Client/Scripts/RibbonBar.js"></script>

    What should it be?

    All scripts can be automated in codebehind like this:
    Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("RibbonBar", "<script type='text/javascript' src='" + Request.ApplicationPath + "/Office2007Client/Scripts/RibbonBar.js'></script>"); 
    Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("RibbonPreloader", "<script type='text/javascript' src='" + Request.ApplicationPath + "/Office2007Client/Scripts/RibbonPreloader.js'></script>"); 

    Please note, that above is from .net 1.1 and this syntax is depreciated in 2.0. but theres analog version of page.registerclientscriptblock, just taka a look on msdn.
    by using this method you're no longer troubled with js files location.

    greets.

    Thanks for your reply peter.  The problem with using the method that you suggested is now the NavigateUrl in the Template no longer points to the correct location.  I tried using NavigateUrl="~/MyRootPage.aspx" but still get an error.

    To re-cap:
    I have my OfficeTemplate file in the root of the application. 
    On the menu, I have a RibbonButton that has a NavigateUrl="MyRootPage.aspx"

    I have a page in the root folder called "MyRootPage.aspx" which uses the OfficeTemplate.  When I compile and run, the RibbonButton loads the proper file.

    One page that also uses the OfficeTemplate is located in a subfolder /Folder1/MySubPage.aspx. 

    Based on your previous suggestion, I add the clientscriptblock code to the codebehind in the "MyRootPage.aspx" and /Subfolder/"MySubPage.aspx" so the JavaScript files would load properly.  Now when I click on the RibbonButton from the "MySubPage.aspx", it can no longer find "MyRootPage.aspx" becuase it is looking in it's current folder.

    If I change the NavigateUrl to NavigateUrl="~/MyRootPage.aspx" that also causes the "resource cannot be found" error.

    Hi Vimal

    Just a quick one, try using AutoSizeWidth() or one of its overloads once the text has been set. Sounds as if the text does not fit the button width and is over-running the control area.

    Thanks

    Hi Vimal,

    Hopefully you will be able to share this with the rest of us.  I was going to start working on making the menu database driven but if someone else has done it might as well save some time.

    Hi

    I did originally intend to do all required features (some of the requirements and optional features are a bit of a challenge for a web client). I have been busy on other projects for a while now and will be for the foreseeable future, so as this is just a project done in my spare time I don't foresee any further development any time soon. Sorry for the lack of additions but it is still at the back of my mind. I may come back to it but at this point I can't promise anything.

    Thanks
    Russell Mason

    Hi all,

    Has anyone worked on getting the Ribbon Bar to render faster? Render times are fine in Safari for Windows but IE, FF and at times Opera often use from 5 to 15 seconds on my desktop computer - both for Russel's ClientMockup.aspx and my own pages as well. I am not interested in full Office 2007 guideline conformancy, so removing parts of the control is definitely an option for me.

    Regards,
    Sjur

    I am also interested in a prometheus version of this framework. I have been using prometheus exclusively with my latest projects and would like to introduce a ribbon control. I just dont want to have to use the old controls to get the job done. Telerik what is your stance on this?

    Hi Russel,

    Thanks for this great looking ribbon, I am having one issue with IE 6.0 SP2 I know you have only tested it with version 7.0 but I was hoping you have an idea where to look to try and fix it. It is with registering the resize event as far as I can see what happens.

    The problem is that IE has an un ending loop going from function from RadTabStrip.js line 274:

    return function(e){
    if(!_4._domEventHandlingEnabled&&!_3){
    return false;
    }
    return _4[_2](e||window.event);
    };

    to function from RibbonBar.js line 30:
    function associateObjectWithEvent(object, methodName)
    {
        return (function(event) {event = event || window.event; return object[methodName] (event, this);})
    }

    Thanks anyway for the control

    -Mark

    Hi Russel,

    Thanks for your wonderful application. I downloaded the latest version of the application framework. I tried to use the ribbon resizing manager which works fine on ribbons created during design view. But when creating the ribbons at runtime, ribbon resizing manager does not work. I even created instance of ribbonresizingmanager and attached all the required properties. Please let me know if you have solution for this problem.

    Regards,

    Hi Russell,

    Is there a possibility to use the Office 2007 layout for the Radwindow?
    We now implemented the ribbon bar inside the Radwindow but it would be nice if we could get rid of the radwindow title bar and drag and drop the window by the applicationbar.

    Do you have such a thing planned?

    Regards,
    Rogier van de Roer
