Partial Rendering with DNN Core Modules Revisited (4.5.2 and later) 

With the release of DNN 4.5.2 and the associated fixes to the AJAX implementation I thought i would revisit my "Core Modules" and AJAX testing that I had completed after the release of 4.5.0. The good news is that more modules can support AJAX since the issues with the URL Control have been resolved. This article will discusss individual modules and the functionality that is now available with the release of 4.5.2.

Announcements Module

From my previous testing of this module I determined that it was not possible to enable partial rendering for the "EditAnnouncments" control due to the use of the "URL Control". WIth the release of 4.5.2 this is no longer an issue and I was able to successfully enable partial rendering for the edit page.

Documents Module

From my previous testing I was able to successfully enable partial rendering for the "Settings" page, however, the edit documents page was not able to be updated due to not being able to upload new files. With the upgrade to 4.5.2 this issue has been resolved. In my testing I am now able to enable partial rending for the "EditDocs.ascx" file which is the "Edit Document" control. All functions were working properly including file upload! As reported in my previous looks at this module there is currently no need to enable partial rendering for the default view control.

Repository Module

In my previous testing I had mentioned that it was possible to enable partial rendering for the "Repository.ascx" control. After further testing and comments from users I have found that this cannot be completed successfully, I have tested again on 4.5.2 and it still does not work with the newest version. Per discussions by members of the Repository team on the DotNetNuke forums these issues will be resolved in a future release of the module.
