Relatively complex operations with AjaxMethods

[henricook]

Hi all,

I have coolite and the ajax control toolkit loaded although i'm using coolite almost exclusively.

I'm using an AjaxMethod that is trying to do relatively complex operations, such as creating a GridPanel and adding it to the controls of my main panel.

I have a treeview on the left and a 'main' panel on the right.

My AjaxMethod calls another method in the code-behind that creates a GridPanel then calls MainPanel.Controls.Add(MyGridPanel);

The grid panel never appears though which is puzzling, triggering the ajax method doesn't actually appear to trigger anything not even the usual loading animation. If i put a label in the panel and change that on click it appears to work fine. Any thoughts?

Failing this can anyone tell me how I might be able to have it so when a node in the treeview is clicked arbitrary content (i.e. a gridpanel, image, or block of text) appears in the right hand/main panel? I thought ajax methods and adding the content was the best way.

I tried defining the gridpanel on another page (it appeared when i visited the sub-page directly) but it did not appear when I tried to use .loadContent('my/sub-page.aspx');

Hoorah! I've resolved this

using a treeview on the left and a main panel on the right, you have to use an absolute URL when using .LoadContent on the main panel.

myPanel.LoadContent('http://www.mysite/...');

rather than:

myPanel.LoadContent('myFolder/path.aspx');

Then it all works as expected!

Hi,

Just set Mode="IFrame" for AutoLoad config and you can use relative path
