Unfortunately the fix did not work for me either. Here's my WCSX code:
<div id="mainBody" style="display:none"> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <ww:wwWebErrorDisplay runat="server" id="ErrorDisplay" /> <b>Base Path:</b> <WW:WWWEBRADIOBUTTONLIST ID="lstBase" runat='server'> <asp:ListItem Selected="True" Value="WConnect">WConnect Folder</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="Manager">Manager Folder</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="AW">ACEweb Folder</asp:ListItem> </WW:WWWEBRADIOBUTTONLIST> <br /> <b>Additional Path and File Mask:</b> <br /> <ww:wwWebTextBox ID="txtPath" runat="server" Visible="True" Width="380px" AutoPostBack="True" Change="txtPath_change" /><br /><br /> <b>Main template folder:</b> <ww:wwWebTextBox ID="txtTemplateFolder" runat="server" Visible="True" Width="39px" AutoPostBack="True" Change="txtFolder_change" Text="ace" /> <font size="-2">(Leave as "ace" unless using an Alternate Interface)</font><br /> <ww:wwWebButton ID="btnGo" runat='server' Width='80' Text="Go" Click="btnGo_Click" OnClientClick="return ok2Go('ED');" /><br /><br /><br /> </form>
If I load the page, make a change to the source, and try to reload I get the outstanding references error. I modified wwWebListControl :: ClearItems in webcontrol.prg per your example. Do I also need to change wwWebListControl :: Dispose?

Can you give me an example? I used your radio button example which worked fine.
Anything that gets added via AddControl() adds to the Items collection and should be removed by the dispose() call. It seems to work for me here. Did you put this in the right place? wwWebListControl :: Dispose and ClearItems().

I think that made it worse. List controls that are populated manually through the code behind now hang also.

Yeah I noticed this yesterday too as I was looking at Luca's example. I had to stop and start.
Hanging reference there for sure have to see what's happening. Odd that it fires the first time though...
Ok, took a look. I think the issue is that the list items aren't cleaning up. In fact this is a problem for all list controls not just the RadioButtonList (ie. listbox, dropdownlist).
The fix is to explicitly call Dispose() on the child items:
************************************************************************ * wwWebListControl :: ClearItems **************************************** *** Function: Clears out all manually added items and the DataSource *** Assume: *** Pass: *** Return: ************************************************************************ FUNCTION ClearItems() LOCAL lnX FOR lnX = 1 TO this.Items.Count lnItem = this.Items.aItems[lnX] lnItem.Dispose() ENDFOR THIS.Items.Clear() this.DataSource = "" ENDFUNC * wwWebListControl :: ClearItems
This seems to fix the problem and make changes work again.

Hi Rick,
Drop a radio list on an empty page and explicitly add some items as shown below and hit it. Then make a change and hit it again, you will get this error:
Compilation Error: File cannot be closed because outstanding references exist.
<ww:wwWebRadioButtonList ID="wwWebRadioButtonList1" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem>Item 1</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Item 2</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Item 3</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Item 4</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Item 5</asp:ListItem> </ww:wwWebRadioButtonList>
I stepped through wwControl.Dispose() and can see your code to explicitly release child controls firing on the first hit and working as designed. On the second hit (after a change was made to the page that requires a recompile), Dispose() is not called for the radio control or any others after it on the page.
That's as far as I got debugging this.
