ViewStateStorage
ViewStateStorage is a feature introduced in WebUI.NET Framework 2.0 allowing the view state of Intersoft's controls to be stored in custom storage without additional codes or efforts.

The view state persistence is useful when used in the conditions where properties such as styles or behaviors are changed dynamically at runtime. The persistence would then be able to track the changes and restore back the modified properties in next postback.

ViewStateItems
Gets or sets the items to be stored in view state storage.

RunTimeLicenseKey
Gets or sets the license key of the components that is needed to run at production server or development machine without installing the whole components.

The CacheDuration and CachePriority
These properties are the property that belongs to data source control like ISDataSource.

For more detail information about each properties described above, please check the WebGrid documentation. (some of the properties are explained in the step-by-step instructions to use Deployment Manager).

Hope this helps.

Hi Yudi,

Yes, this helps as a start. And what is OptimizeCss(Name)? And ISRes_Registered?

And what are the possible values for all these settings?

And what is CacheDuration and -Priority used for? We had to set AllowAutoDataCaching="false" in all our WebGrids. So do we still need to set this in web.config? And "where" is this cache located? Within the IIS? Or in the Session? Or somewhere within the IIS worker process?

And for the ViewStateItems I'd also like to have some more background information what this is used for.

Are there any keys we don't need (because only for old versions) or are there more keys we should set?

And regarding your documentation, I've searched in there already. Maybe you can point me to where you meant more information is. Searching for CacheDuration, OptimizeCss, ISRes_Registered returned no results in the help. And ViewStateItems only lists that such a property exists ("Gets or sets the items to be stored in view state storage"), but no real description.

A bettter documentation would help. But if you can provide more infos on these values for now, my question would be answered as well.

Thanks,
Eric

I’d like to suggest you to download the latest WebGrid’s documentation at http://www.intersoftpt.com/Support/WebGrid/WG70DOCS%20Help%201.0.chm. (After finish downloading, right-click on the file and select properties from the context menu. Click unblock before use it for the first time).

OptimizeCss is explained under “Using Deployment Manager” topic.

The “ISRes_Registered” indicates whether the project uses SmartWebResources or not.

For more detail information, please refer to the WebGrid’s documentation.

Hi Yudi,

Thanks for your reply and the link. I downloaded the .chm file, but that documentation doesn't seem newer than the one I have installed with the product.

Also, please note that .chm files don't work by default in corporate environments. Desktop and homedrives and other users' folders are usually on a network share and .chm files on network shares cannot open. But I managed to get around this restriction.

That ISRes_Registered is for SmartWebResources answers this specific question. But it is not even mentioned in the documentation.

And the other values are only minimally described. The values for ViewStateItems for example are not listed, but there's a screenshot that says that there's a GUI to change the values and from there I would be able to extract the possible values (still not having a description for each value though).

So overall, there is no comprehensive documentation available. As I don't have any specific questions, I think we can close this thread. But maybe you got the message to improve the documentation for future releases.

Thanks,

Eric
