Tracking state using ASP.NET AJAX / ICallbackEventHandler

I have a problem with maintaining state in an ASP.NET AJAX page. Short version: I need some way to update the page ViewState after an async callback has been made, to reflect any state changes the server made during the async call. This seems to be a common problem, but I will describe my scenario to help explain: I have a grid-like c...

How to specify javascript to run when ModalPopupExtender is shown

The ASP.NET AJAX ModalPopupExtender has OnCancelScript and OnOkScript properties, but it doesn't seem to have an OnShowScript property. I'd like to specify a javascript function to run each time the popup is shown. In past situations, I set the TargetControlID to a dummy control and provide my own control that first does some JS code a...

Problem databinding an ASP.Net AJAX toolkit MaskedEditExtender

I have a database that contains a date and we are using the MaskedEditExtender (MEE) and MaskedEditValidator to make sure the dates are appropriate. However, we want the Admins to be able to go in and change the data (specifically the date) if necessary. How can I have the MEE field pre-populate with the database value when the data ...

How can I pass data from an aspx page to an ascx modal popup?

I'm fairly new to ASP.NET and trying to learn how things are done. I come from a C# background so the code-behind portion is easy, but thinking like a web developer is unfamiliar. I have an aspx page that contains a grid of checkboxes. I have a button that is coded via a Button_Click event to collect a list of which rows are checked and...

Update Panel inside of a UserControl inside of a Repeater inside of another UpdatePanel

Yes, it sounds crazy....It might be. The final updatepanel does not appear to trigger anything, it just refreshes the update panels and does not call back to the usercontrol hosting it. Any ideas? EDIT: I got it posting back, however the controls inside the final usercontrol have lost their data...I'm thinking its because the main rep...

Stackoverflow Style Notifications in asp.net Ajax

When you get a badge or aren't logged in to stack overflow there's a groovy little notification bar at the top of the page that lets you know there's something going on. I know the SOflow team use JQuery, but I was wondering if anyone knew of an implementation of the same style of notification system in asp.net AJAX. On a side note, wh...

ASP.NET AJAX: Firing an UpdatePanel after the page load is complete

I'm sure this is easy but I can't figure it out: I have an ASP.NET page with some UpdatePanels on it. I want the page to completely load with some 'Please wait' text in the UpdatePanels.

Entire Page refreshes even though gridview is in an update panel

I have a gridview that is within an updatepanel for a modal popup I have on a page. The issue is that the entire page refreshes every time I click an imagebutton that is within my gridview. This causes my entire page to load and since I have grayed out the rest of the page so that the user cannot click on it this is very annoying. Does ...

FileUpload control inside an UpdatePanel without refreshing the whole page?

According to Microsoft the FileUpload control is not compatible with an AJAX UpdatePanel. I am aware that a PostBackTrigger can be added to the submit button of the form like this: <Triggers> <asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" /> </Triggers> The problem is that this forces the form to perform a full post-back which voids out...

asp:UpdateProgress - surpressing the line-break

I've started working with ASP.net AJAX (finally ☺). and I've got an update panel together with a asp:UpdateProgress. My Problem: The UpdateProgress always forces a line-break, because it renders out as a div-tag. Is there any way to force it being a span instead? I want to display it on the same line as some other controls without havin...

Does Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax Cause DOM Object Leaks?

We've been using "Drip" to try and identify why pages with UpdatePanels in them tend to use a lot of client-side memory. With a page with a regular postback, we are seeing 0 leaks detected by Drip. However, when we add an update panel to the mix, every single DOM object that is inside of the update panel appears to leak (according to D...

Why does a button control need to be clicked twice?

I've got a web application working using VB and Ajax. I'm using updatepanels to avoid the irritating "flicker" on postbacks to the server. I would like to have a button control defined within the updatepanel itself (tried moving it outside and got some catastrophic error, so left it there) that makes the current panel not visible and ...

Ok, so my method in my webservice requires a type to be passed, it is called in the ServiceMethod property of the AutoCompleteExtender, I am fuzzy about how I should do that so I called it like this: ServiceMethod="DropDownLoad<<%=(typeof)subCategory%>>" where subCategory is a page property that looks like this: protected SubCategory...

Handling HttpRequestValidationException gracefully and ASP.net AJAX compatible?

ValidateEvents is a great ASP.net function, but the Yellow Screen of Death is not so nice. I found a way how to handle the HttpRequestValidationException gracefully here, but that does not work with ASP.net AJAX properly. Basically, I got an UpdatePanel with a TextBox and a Button, and when the user types in HTML into the Textbox, a Ja...

Trigger UpdatePanel on mouse over (as tooltip)

I need to display aditional information, like a tooltip, but it's a lot of info (about 500 - 600 characters) on the items in a RadioButtonList. I now trigger the update on a PanelUpdate when the user selects an item in the RadioButtonList,using OnSelectedIndexChanged and AutoPostBack. What I would like to do, is trigger this on onMouse...

Would you override ScriptControl or BaseValidator for an async ASP.NET validator control?

I'm planning to develop an ASP.NET server control to provide asynchronous username availability validation for new user registrations. The control will allow a developer to point it at a "username" TextBox and it will provide an indication of whether or not the username is available. Like this example, but without the clunky UpdatePane...

Pass Silverlight type to Microsoft AJAX and pass parameter validation
