[CLOSED] Dynamic form generation in 2.0

[rthiney]

I used to have a form that was generated server side...worked great until I moved to 2.0. What is the change the get this working again?

Here is the server-side code:

[DirectMethod]        public void RecreateForm(object o, DirectEventArgs e)
        {
            string[] date = e.ExtraParams["dateInfo"].Split(new string[] { "-" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
            int portfolioId = Convert.ToInt32(this.hidPortfolioId.Text);




            WPDBEntities ent = new WPDBEntities();
            PortfolioCompany co = (from c in ent.PortfolioCompanies
                                   where c.PortfolioCompanyId.Equals(portfolioId)
                                   select c).FirstOrDefault();
            var titles = ent.sp_getFinancialResultGrid(Convert.ToInt32(this.hidPortfolioId.Text), Convert.ToInt32(date[0].Replace("Q", string.Empty)), Convert.ToInt32(date[1]));


            var form = new FormPanel
            {
                ID = "FormTaskPanel1",
               // RenderFormElement = false,
                Border = false,
                AutoHeight = true,
                AutoScroll = true,
              //  LabelWidth = 150,
             //   LabelAlign = LabelAlign.Left,
                Padding = 5
            };
            foreach (var title in titles)
            {
                if (!title.IsCalc)
                {
                    NumberField df = new NumberField();
                    df.FieldLabel = title.Title;
                    df.ID = "Control_" + title.PortfolioPerformanceTitleId.ToString();
                    df.Value = (title.Value == null) ? string.Empty : title.Value.ToString();
                    df.LabelStyle = (title.IsCalc) ? "font-style:italic;padding-left:8px" : "";
                    hidControlIds.Text += title.PerformanceDataId.ToString() + ":";
                    df.IDMode = IDMode.Explicit;
                    df.Listeners.Blur.Handler = string.Format("ClientSaveChanges(this.value,{0},{1});", (title.PerformanceDataId != null) ? title.PerformanceDataId.ToString() : "0", title.PortfolioPerformanceTitleId);
                    form.Items.Add(df);
                }
            }
            this.pnl.Items.Clear();
            form.Render(this.pnl , RenderMode.RenderTo);
         
        }

And here is the markup:

 <ext:Panel runat="server" ID="pnl" AutoHeight="true">        <TopBar>
            <ext:Toolbar ID="Toolbar1" runat="server">
                <Items>
                    <ext:Label runat="server" Text="Quarters:" Flat="true"></ext:Label>
                    <ext:ComboBox runat="server" ID="cmboQuarters"> 
                        <DirectEvents>
                            <Select OnEvent="RecreateForm">
                                <EventMask Msg="Fetching data..." MinDelay="0" ShowMask="true" Target="CustomTarget" CustomTarget="#{pnl}" />
                                <ExtraParams>
                                    <ext:Parameter Name="dateInfo" Value="this.value" Mode="Raw" />
                                </ExtraParams> 
                            </Select>
                        </DirectEvents>
                    </ext:ComboBox>
                    <ext:Label ID="lbFYE" runat="server" Text="Fiscal Year End:" Flat="true" StyleSpec="padding-left:5px"></ext:Label>
                </Items> 
            </ext:Toolbar> 
        </TopBar>
    </ext:Panel>

Oh...the form isn't showing after the direct event that hits that method.

You have to use 'RenderMode.AddTo' instead 'RenderMode.RenderTo'

That did the trick!
