Decorated zone





RadFormDecorator is able to detect partial page updates and redecorate updated page regions automatically. Partial page updates are the result of an AJAX request that returns new HTML for portions of the page, most often the content of UpdatePanel controls.

RadFormDecorator covers three scenarios with partial page updates involved:
  1. The decoration zone (set with DecorationZoneID property) is an UpdatePanel control
  2. An UpdatePanel contains a decorated zone
  3. A decorated zone contains an UpdatePanel

All three scenarios are handled automatically, and the page is properly re-decorated after a partial page update.
