AJAX Enabling ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts with "Atlas" | keydet

Whoa... cool

I haven't had a chance to mess around with Atlas yet, but I'm amazed at how quickly he did that... :O

amazing!! I already had a UserControl (a simple 'shoutbox' using ATLAS), dragged it into a WebZone, changed the tagmappings, and magic!! Thanks for this video, can't wait for more!

Hi keydet,

I also designed a page with web part zones, but it doesn't work.
There is no postback, but i also can't drag&drop web parts.
Could you help?

Thanks

I concur with the above poster. You can't drag-and-drop web parts without a post-back. I've worked on this for 3+ days now and have followed all the steps in the video as well as every other possible change I could think of and it simply doesn't work.

The screencast was done using an earlier CTP of ASP.NET "Atlas." The current release does not have this capability. Sorry.

Is this functionality still extinct in the final release of ASP.NET AJAX 1.0?

Same question as jparker above - is this functionality available in the final release of ASP.NET Ajax 1.0? After switching to Design Mode I am unable to drag/drop the web parts, and the Minimize/Close popup no longer appears (even after switching back to browse).

It appears as though we have been tempted again with promises of functionality that cannot be kept..

When should we expect to see this working again? I dont really understand why a beta or CTP version of AJAX is so much more functional than the final release!!

Please add this functionality back soon (or at least inform your users of when this will occur).

Thank you.

Hi All,

I have created a workaround for those people that require this functionality to operate as specified in this demo (i.e. the drag and drop inside of an UpdatePanel.)

Because I'm in a sharing mood I am releasing it - Simply download the project from here https://www.ahsa.com.au/documentation/AJAX.Compatible.WebPartManager.zip, and follow the instructions on how to make the WebPartManager work with AJAX 1.0 Smiley

(basically just compile, add a ref to your web project and add a TagMapping to the web config)

Enjoy Smiley
