Design mode
ASP.NET editor
Click the .NET icon at the far right of the toolbar to open the ASP.NET code editor, which can be used to define server-side procedures, events, and global variables to handle any specific custom tasks. This feature is mainly intended for ASP.NET developers.
AJAX mode
If you're using the form designer, you can enable AJAX mode by checking Enable AJAX mode on the General tab of the form configuration panel.
If you're using Visual Studio to develop a custom ASPX form in AJAX mode, do the following:
In the
<form runat="server">
element, add aScriptManager
at the beginning of the form and wrap all the form content in thecontenttemplate
of anUpdatePanel
.Example:
Since standard
FileUpload
controls are not supported inside theUpdatePanel
, use our customWorkflowFileUpload
user control for your attachment needs.Add the following line in the page constructor to prevent an issue that can occur when updating a row in a GridView:
You will see no difference at runtime, since all this does is prevent a postback when clicking the Update button and the validation fails. The
UpdatePanel
already prevents postback.Register the postback triggers either in the
Page_Load
event or directly in the ASPX page.
