Re: [Anthem.NET-users] AutoCallBack and AutoPostBack

[Manu Temmerman-U. <man...@gm...>]

AutoPostBack is a property that exists for non-anthem controls. Since (unti=
l
now) all anthem controls inherit from normal asp controls, they also inheri=
t
the autopostback property. When a control has its autopostback property set
to true it's 'basic' event (I don't know how to say this correct) will caus=
e
his browser to do a 'normal' postback. Like submitting a form on a page.
What the user sees is that the whole page is being refreshed.

AutoCallBack is a property added for anthem controls. I guess doing a
callback is kinda the basics of ajax. You retrieve info on the server
without doing a postback, without refreshing the whole page.

So if you for example have a dropdownlist on your page and it has its
autopostback property set to true, then changing its selected index will
cause the complete page to refresh.
If on the other hand you set its autocallback property to true, then
changing the selected index will cause a callback. Just as with a complete
postback, you will reach its OnSelectedIndexChanged eventhandler method. Yo=
u
will do whatever in that method.
The only controls that will be refreshed on the page are the ones for who
you set the UpdateAfterCallBack property on true.

I hope this makes it a little bit more clear. I guess you are missing some
basic understanding here and there... But you are lucky Anthem is extremely
easy to use ;)
Have fun!

Manu.
