okay so i have a progress bar implemented thats tracking steps, this page calls itself (recursivly) populates some controls you check some options (radio button) then save .... updates the progress bar then calls itself gets the controls creates them and shows them and all over again over and over... my question lies here
when i do a initial load everything is normal, i select the controls i want and save, the save goes to the db the progress is updated, server.transfer(tomyself) is used then onload goes to the db gets the new set the new controls and is suposed to display them to the user with the updated progress and new controls, the problem is that the progress bar DOES update but nothing else on the page is updated, i debugged and realize i have all the proper information i need so no my logic for saving and getting the options is not off..... this is what the cycle looks like
onload get controsl create populate render (user input) pageload getcontrols (old values still) save to db, update progress server.transfer pageload get controls (new) display to use
here is some code
protected void OnProgressBarRunTask(object sender, EO.Web.ProgressTaskEventArgs e) { //if not validated, return //otherwise, save to DB
if (nSelectedOfferId == 0) { GetNumberOfStepsCompleted() e.UpdateProgress(GetCurrentStep(), "Please select an offer before proceeding to the next step"); } else { SaveOfferSelection(); e.UpdateProgress(UpdateCurrentStep()); }
//postback to itself // Server.Transfer("OfferSelector.aspx");
}
the html consists of placeholders static which are populated with radio buttons
even if its just a hunch any help i would appreciate thanks!

Of course nothing else will update when the progress bar move! Otherwise you will have a very flashing page. See this post for more details: http://www.essentialobjects.com/Forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=1234Thanks

Hi,
The only thing special about ProgressBar is: everything else you do inside RunTask regarding UI/controls, except for e.UpdateProgress, is completely ignored. So as long as you not trying to display anything inside RunTask, they should just work fine.
If you display the message elsewhere (for example, in Page_Load) and it still does not display, then it should not have anything to do with the progress bar. You can try to debug the code by hiding or comment out the progress bar temporariry, or replace the progress bar with a button and then execute your task in the button's click event to find out what's wrong.
Hope this clears up.
Thanks
