ListView and xml-script no longer works in Beta 2

I used a MS example of databinding with an xml-script listview to get the functionality I needed and now with the Beta 2 the JS no longer works. Is anyone doing this in Beta 2? Read myoriginal post for more information (and code).FYI after 4 days I got the code to work. Seehttp://forums.asp.net/thread/1487186.aspx

Listview post ASP.Net Ajax beta1

Hi all, I've been using a listView in the July CTP, and have just recently upgraded to beta 1, and for some reason my ListView no longer works.

I have figured out that the namespace is now Sys.Preview.UI.Data, and consequently changed my xml script to be

<script type="text/xml-script">
<page xmlns:script="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xml-script/2005"
xmlns:"JavaScript: Sys.UI,Sys,Sys.Preview.UI.Data,Sys.Preview.Data">

etc...

Is there something more I have to do, or am I missing something.

Also, what has happened to all the examples in the documentation around the ListView, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong if there was a simple example as there was in the previous documentation.

Cheers.

Did you ever find a solution? I'm having no luck converting my old code to Beta 2.
FYI, I got my code working,http://forums.asp.net/thread/1487186.aspx

No, I ended up deciding that it was better to render it in a repeater on the Server side. I'm still interensted in the problem though, and will have a look at your solution.

Cheers.

Live.com based on atlas??

Hi,
I just receive information about the live.com beta program from Microsoft...
the live.com website is near the same as the start.com web site!
does this website use the same atlas framework?

Loading custom converters ion web.config - beta 1

If previous versions this worked

<microsoft.web>
<converters>
<addtype="Microsoft.Web.Script.Serialization.Converters.DataSetConverter"/>
<addtype="Microsoft.Web.Script.Serialization.Converters.DataRowConverter"/>
<addtype="Microsoft.Web.Script.Serialization.Converters.DataTableConverter"/>
<addtype="MyCustomConverter"/>
</converters>
</microsoft.web>

this doesn't seem to work in the beta, anyone know how to do this?

This section has been moved to:

<microsoft.web>
<scripting>
<webServices>
<jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="1000">
<converters>
<add name="ConvertMe" type="Acme.SubAcme.ConvertMeTypeConverter"/>
</converters>
</jsonSerialization
Hope that helps,

LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium and AJAX Beta 2

Anyone else using Load/Save PageFromPesistenceMedium and AJAX Beta 2. In my functions, I'm saving the state in a compressed format to reduce the size of the viewstate as its passed back and forth over the browser. We are talking around 1 MB of viewstate uncompressed here so it's needed...

Anyway, in previous CTPs of the ATLAS framework, this has all worked fine. In the Beta 2 update, it appears as though the viewstate that is created on inital page view remains around. For example, I have a gridview control that contains a dropdown list in each row for sorting the items in the gridview. You click a new value in the drop down and that row is supposed to move to that row in the grid. With the current Beta 2, if I move row 5 to row 1, that works. Then I select row 5 to move to row 3 and the record in row 1 moves to row 3 instead! (row 1 contains the original row 5 so it seems to reference that row on the server and move it to 3).

I've obviously got to look at my own load/save code here but since the Beta 2 update is the only change, I'm starting with something being broken in that. Let me know if you've got any other thoughts?

Thanks.

I use compressed state myself, but again, I use only UpdatePanel.

I have implemented my own PageStatePersister / IStateFormatter instead though. I feel that this is a more proper way than overriding the method in the actual page.

Have you tried without overriding state load / save ?

If I don't use the save/load of state, everything works fine except i have a very large viewstate object being passed around.

I've found one workaround right now. The viewstate can be saved to the server as a temp file instead of going back down to the server. This appears to work so for the time being, I can use this and just have a clean up on application_end to remove the viewstate files. However, this makes me believe that the hidden input values aren't being updated properly in this beta 2.

Try to implement what I mentioned!

 
public class CompressedHiddenPageStatePersister : HiddenFieldPageStatePersisterpublic class CompressedStateFormatter : IStateFormatter
 

I recommend you to look at these (not garantueed to help though)

You could also just try to compress the whole thing itself, withASPX compression in IIS
