Alert dialogue with DevExpress controls

Although DevExpress provides various set of ASP.NET control, but still sometimes all controls that are available out of the box might not be suited to what you would like to achieve. One such simple requirement is display customized alert dialog box.

Let look into detail explanation of how this can be achieved. All you need is to add ASPxPopupControl as the last element of your master page

 
  
   
                                 
       
        

Write a common java script function that will display the alert dialogue.


Now all everything is setup just call the function as and when requried

Display loading panel while page loads

Recently I started using DevExpress controls and am quite suppressed at how easy they are to be used. On one occasion the requirement was to show a loading text/gif until processing is completed on the server.
Here is how this can be achieved.

1. First place a "ASPxLoadingPanel" to show loading text
        
          

2. Add "ASPxCallbackPanel"

  
    
        
    
  
  


3. Add script block to show loading panel and send request for server side processing
 

4. Add server side processing code
protected void callbackPanel_Callback(object sender, CallbackEventArgsBase e)
{
}

That's it all done.
