Atlas + DotNetNuke… Step 2: Adding Atlas support *UPDATE*

UPDATE: I was digging around DNN and found that I was completely wrong… the modules are NOT added at PreRender, they are added through from default.aspx.vb through skin.vb (by calling the right skin) in a function in skin.vb. All this is done at Page_Init, both of Default.aspx and Skin.vb!

So, I’ve talked to the guys at Microsoft… I’ve contacted ScottGu and he was kind enough (thanks Scott) to forward my mail to one of the guys at MS.

The answer I got to my mail was:

“Hi Vladan,

It’s somewhat unlikely that UpdatePanel will support being added as late as PreRender. We might be able to make it a bit later than Init, but probably not much later. There are many reasons for this, including that the controls inside it might not work if they are loaded so late. One thing that we do plan to have is some kind of new interface that custom controls can implement to allow them to have UpdatePanel-like behavior, but we don’t have any details on that just yet.

Is it possible for DotNetNuke to have static UpdatePanels in the page and then dynamically load the UserControls into the panels?

Thanks,
Eilon”

Thanks for the heads up Eilon

I am still thankful to Eilon and Scott for assisting me, I think I will mail them again after I test some more things
