My user control contains Ajax Accordion.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks

There are definitely pros and cons to both approaches to rendering. In modern browsers, rendering JSON via a client-side template is definitely faster and is lighter on the wire, but I think your IE6 point is a good one in favor of server-side rendering. On a public-facing site, it usually makes sense to use this partial rendering method for SEO-critical content, so you can use the same server-side rendering logic for both async clients and JavaScript disabled spiders.

Anyone has similar issues?

I found out that it is much simpler and elegant to have asynchronous loading of that control on each action in the control, instead of loading control from code behind with LoadControl and then get big pain trying to wire up all things you need to in order to make it works .

public string GetBenefitControls(string benefitIds, string contactId)
{
// build list of benefit IDs from input
List benefitIdList = new List();
foreach (string item in benefitIds.Split(new string[] {“|”}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries))
{
int benefitId;
if (int.TryParse(item, out benefitId))
benefitIdList.Add(benefitId);
}

// build list of benefit objects from each id
List benefitList = new List();
foreach (int benefitId in benefitIdList)
{
benefitList.Add(new Benefit(benefitId));
}

// for each control, instantiate a BenefitAtIntake control and
// load this with a Benefit object
StringBuilder benefitsAtintake = new StringBuilder();
foreach (Benefit benefit in benefitList)
{
// create the page for the call
Page page = new Page();
page.EnableViewState = false;
HtmlForm form = new HtmlForm();
form.ID = “__t”;
page.Controls.Add(form);

// create the ClientIntakeBenefitDictionary dictionary for the benefit and add it to the BenefitAtIntake control
ClientIntakeBenefitDictionary dictionary = new ClientIntakeBenefitDictionary(benefit, new Guid());
Control control = page.LoadControl(“~/UserControls/BenefitAtIntake.ascx”);
((BenefitAtIntake)control).Benefit = benefit;
((BenefitAtIntake)control).IntakeBenefitCollection = dictionary[benefit];

// create the HtmlForm for the page; and put the control in this new form
form.Controls.Add(control);

StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(page, writer, false);
benefitsAtintake.AppendLine(writer.ToString());
writer.Close();
}
return benefitsAtintake.ToString();
}
