Read MoreMicrosoft AJAX and Web Services Snag
If you plan on using Microsoft AJAX with web services, you better plan hard. The AJAX Control Toolkit is currently built using web services. I attempted to use the NumericUpDown control provided in a user control. However, I continually received an error message stating that The given key was not present in the dictionary.
Upon further investigation, I found that the partial pages in the code samples inherited the CommonPage
class. The CommonPage
class, found in the App_Code
folder, inherited the Page
class. The page class contains some additional events in the load cycle that the user controls do not contain such as Pre_Init
. In the CommonPage
class, there is an override for PreInit which grabs all content placeholders and adds them to a list. That was it, once I switched the contents from a user control into a page, it worked. Of course there are other work around solutions to get the User Control to pull the content place holders.
