Best Approach To Adding Telerik Ajax Settings To SharePoint WebPart

Posted in SharePoint Development | 0 comments

This is the most effective way I have found to add the appropriate AJAX settings to a SharePoint WebPart. This differs from how you would add the settings within a normal ASP.NET context. There are a couple of assumptions that are placed within the code. Firstly, a Panel is going to be leveraged as the primary holder for a series of controls, and I am also going to call a recreate method for reliability of control recreation. This method should be called from the WebPart’s OnLoad event.

Using the below helper method:

private void AddAjaxSettings()
{
RadAjaxManager current = RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page);
AjaxSetting ajaxSetting = new AjaxSetting([This Is Your Panel].ID);
AjaxUpdatedControl newItem = new AjaxUpdatedControl
{
ControlID = [This Is Your Panel].ID,
LoadingPanelID = LoadingPanel.ID
};
ajaxSetting.UpdatedControls.Add(newItem);
current.AjaxSettings.Add(ajaxSetting);
ajaxSetting = new AjaxSetting(current.ID);
AjaxUpdatedControl ajaxUpdatedControl = new AjaxUpdatedControl
{
ControlID = [This Is Your Panel].ID,
LoadingPanelID = LoadingPanel.ID
};
ajaxSetting.UpdatedControls.Add(ajaxUpdatedControl);
current.AjaxSettings.Add(ajaxSetting);
AjaxManager.AjaxRequest += (sender, args) => RecreateControlStructure(args.Argument);
}

In the above replace [This Is Your Panel] with your Panel control reference since this will be at the field level. Then you are ready to read the properties in the RecreateControlStructure method using a method like:

Dictionary<string, object> designerData = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(argument);
object value;
designerData.TryGetValue("A Property", out value);
