The MultiSelect component does not load its styles if it was set to Visible="False" at initial load and made visible during a PostBack, thus breaking its appearance.
This problem happens in version 2024.4.1114.
When selecting an Item and performing a PostBack, the selected item's value is not accessible once the page reloads.
I am getting the following error when using RadMultiSelect with over 13000 records:
Error
InnerException Message: Error during serialization or deserialization
using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds
the value set on the maxJsonLength property.

I already have <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="2147483647"> in my web.config but still errors out.

Seems similar to this issue: https://www.telerik.com/forums/maxjsonlength-exceeded-in-radmap
But updating to higher version than 2020 didn't seem to solve it. Was the fix only for RadMap?
As it was for other
The SelectionChanged event is fired before Page_Load, hence when the ViewState is applied, it overrides the changes made inside the OnSelectionChanged handler.
Example - Clearing the CheckBox selection of a RadComboBox inside SelectionChanged
Workaround - Create a custom boolean property on the page and set it to true inside the SelectionChanged. Then, in Page_Load or the OnLoad event of any control, execute your logic based on the custom boolean property value.
Scenario 1)
- Set MultiSelect1.Enabled=false;
- Do a postback;
Expected: MultiSelect remain disabled
Actual: MultiSelect gets enabled
Workaround: set MultiSelect1.Enable = false instead of .Enabled.
Scenario 2)
- Add a MultiSelect inside asp:Panel
- Disable the asp:Panel
Expected: MultiSelect is disabled
Actual: MultiSelect remains enabled
