Hello,

By the way, great controls, just what I was looking for.  I have been using GridViewTemplateColumn with success, but when I try to use an AjaxToolkit rating control I get an error. Here is the code that is giving me the error.

Thanks,

<AjaxData:GridViewTemplateColumn >
<ItemTemplate>

<cc1:Rating
Style="float: left; padding-left: 5px;"
ID="rtgaveragerating"
runat="server"
CurrentRating='<%# Eval("averagerating") %>'
MaxRating="5"
RatingDirection="LeftToRightTopToBottom"
RatingAlign="Horizontal"
StarCssClass="ratingStar"
WaitingStarCssClass="savedRatingStar"
FilledStarCssClass="filledRatingStar"
EmptyStarCssClass="emptyRatingStar" >
</cc1:Rating>

</ItemTemplate>
</AjaxData:GridViewTemplateColumn>

Outstanding performance. Full ASP.NET AJAX support. Nearly codeless development.

ADC control is AJAX enabled script control. Most of rendering work is done on the client JavaScript side. As such, it is totally impossible for it to recognize and render server side controls. The GridViewTemplateColumn accepts only an itemTemplate of html code / DOM controls. I am sorry the rating control cannot fit in. However, what do you want to accomplish? Maybe we can work around it.

Take a look at the /ACT folder in project samples to see how ACT controls such as the rating control can be added into the ADC.
