This example illustrates how to use RadAjaxManager to enable complex update relationships between web controls with AJAX. In this particular organizer application there are two controls that can initiate an AJAX request: Calendar and Grid.

When the user selects a date from the calendar, this will cause two controls to be updated:
1) The grid that lists the email messages received
2) The MS DetailsView control that displays the text of the current message

When the user selects a message from the Grid control, this will cause the Details View control to be updated with the text of the correct message.

About RadAjaxManager for ASP.NET AJAX

Telerik RadAjaxManager for ASP.NET AJAX provides a universal, cross-browser approach for creating highly-interactive applications. The patent-pending Click-and-Go™ technology allows developers to AJAX-enable any ASP.NET application without making any modifications (placing update panels, setting triggers, etc.) and without writing a single line of JavaScript or server-side code.

RadAjaxManager and 90+ other controls are part of UI for ASP.NET AJAX, a comprehensive toolset taking care of the common functionality of your application, while leaving you with more time to work on its business logic.

Key Features

  • Telerik RadAjaxManager uses the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX engine for codeless configuration of AJAX relations.
  • Using RadAjax does not limit the AJAX application to handle the Back/Forward buttons and browser History.
  • RadAjaxManager control replaces postbacks automatically.
  • RadAjaxManager supports standard and third-party controls.
  • You can add RadAjaxManager with a simple drag & drop and eliminate the need of placing UpdatePanel controls, set triggers, etc.
  • The control is suitable for complex applications.
