Thanks for your response Robert,

Yes, if it's not very complex to construct a new custom webcontrol to
replace that 3rd party one, that'll be the quickest and most convenience
approach since we can utilize the new ASP.NET 2.0 configuration model.
Anyway, please feel free to post here when you got any progress or need any
further assistance.

Thanks,

Hi Robert,
I just came across your post as I was looking for a solution for the
same exact issue using metabuilder's DualList in .Net 2.0. I know it's
a bit late since you posted this months ago but I have a solution to it
that seems to be working. Let me know if you're still interested and
I'll post the changes to sourcecode provided with the control that got
it working for me (was only 2 lines that had to change).
Thanks,
Alex

yea ~ I'd like to know , please send me a copy :D

Miz

Ok.. sorry didn't post code orginally but I was on another workstation
than the one that had the code.

In DynamicListBoxResourceHandler.cs...
Change the line that reads: (line 101 in my code)

Object handlerMap =
System.Web.HttpContext.GetAppConfig("system.web/httpHandlers");

TO

Object handlerMap =
System.Web.HttpContext.GetAppConfig("httpHandlers");

----------------------------------------------
Then in DynamicListBox.js...
Change line that reads: (line 25 in my code)

list.Tracker = DynamicListBox_FindControl( list.name + ":itemTracker"
);

TO

list.Tracker = DynamicListBox_FindControl( list.name + "$itemTracker"
);


That's it. That seemed to do it for me.
