Newbie: AJAX not working

M

Mark B

This is my first try at using AJAX. I want the calendars to be enabled if
the user checks CheckBox1. It works OK for a normal all page refresh but
once I introduced the AJAX code it stopped working. Any ideas?

Hi Mark,

Based on your description, I've performed some test on my side. It seems
the CheckBox and Calender can work correctly with AJAX page(via
UpdatePanel). here is a very simple test page I've used.

==============aspx====================
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server"><asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1"
runat="server" />

<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
Checked="true" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="CheckBox1"
EventName="CheckedChanged" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server"></asp:Calendar>
<br />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

<div>
</div>
</form>
</body>


=============code behind================

Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
Calendar1.Enabled = CheckBox1.Checked

End Sub
======================================

I think the problem might be the ASP.NET AJAX application is not configured
correctly. Have you tried some other kind of AJAX postback(via updatepanel)
to see whether it works? Here is the web.config content of my test project,
you can also compare it with yours to see whether any configuration section
is different:
