I've got a masterpage with a custom control that has a calendar. when
dates on the calendar are selected, it sets a session variable. that
calender is on every page via the master page. In the home page, that
session variable is used as a param for a grdiview where eventlog
records for the day are displayed. The gridview is on the homepage
under a content tag. In data input web form pages, we use that calendar
as a datepicker for date fields. The logic works great, except, its
terrible if looking for dates accross years and months as the calendar
causes a postback everytime
month arrows are selected.
Anyways, I thought this might be a good place to implement ajax,
wrapping the calender (under the customcontrol under the master page)
in an updatepanel.
changes appeared to have the desired effect as switching months no
longer flashes the entire page. things looked very promising until I
went to test.
In other pages, selecting calendar dates has no bad effect, however in
the home page, where the eventlog grid should be displaying, I get:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorExceptio n:The message
received from the server could not be parsed.
Kinda curious, In this case, the calendar when a date is selected,
should be resulting in a postback or somethign so the grid rebinds..
I'm kinda confused. perhaps I need a trigger or a condition? Keep in
mind all the calendar is really doing is setting a session variable.
Thanks for any help or information.
