[CLOSED] Is there any way to render controls without using .aspx or .ascx loading?

[Daniil]

Please clarify why? Because of this restriction?

The only restriction - you cannot put it to an Items collection.

We've been investigating an it looks good! But we have to put the gridpanel inside <HtmlBin>, if not the gridpanel is rendered...

[Daniil]

Please clarify what do you mean by "rendered"? The fact that it appears in the Page Sources?

If so, then there is no way to avoid to achieve your requirement not to use .aspx or .ascx.

Even if you put it to HtmlBin, it still appears in the Page Sources. So, I don't quite understand what you mean.

But a component with TemplateWidget="true" is not rendered (well, "painted") in the browser. No DOM elements are created. So, if your goal is performance, then it is really OK to have it in the Page Sources and render to the browser on demand.

That's the main point yes. So if no DOM elements are created, this fully fill our needs :)

Thank you.

Yes, no DOM elements are created until a template function call.
