Hi Kevin,
I'm doing a lot of work with ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 and the .NET AJAX Toolkit.
My requirement is to have a lot of fields appear and disappear based on dropdown values. This likely means setting BindingType = mmBindingType.None at runtime for hidden/unused input fields. Please clearing previously visible ones that go hidden :(
My problem is that a dropdown value isn't getting bound, but I just discovered BindOnPostBack, and running tests to check how to use this. I've been using things like this.BindControl(this.ddMyDropDown) but something isn't working.
Please more documentation or examples of using BindOnPostBack property. With sequence diagram, please.
Also, a "MM.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Forms Template" project template would be helpful.
Last, a "rules" sequence diagram would be nice, please. I figured out that HookPreSave() runs before CheckRulesHook(), which is great for data cleanup.
I'm clearing blank values with field masks in HookPreSave() before rules fire, but this seems to be be something that should be handled by the control. I.e., for:
ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender ClearMaskOnLostFocus="false"
it would be helpful to have a property:
ClearMaskOnDataBind="true"
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
