About working with callback results

... < new map resource item added > Toc1.Refresh();
Map1.CallbackResults.CopyFrom(Toc1.CallbackResults);

CallbackResultCollection object

Custom callback results

string javascriptString = "alert('Hello');";
CallbackResult customCallbackResult = CallbackResult.CreateJavaScript
    (javascriptString);
Map1.CallbackResults.Add(customCallbackResult);

if (action ==  = 'javascript'){
    var method = function(){
        try{
            eval(params[0]);
        }
        . . .
    }
    else if (action ==  = "content"){
        var o = $get(controlID);
        if (o){
            o.outerHTML = params[0];
        }
        . . .
    }
    else if (action ==  = "innercontent"){
        var o2 = $get(controlID);
        if (o2){
            o2.innerHTML = params[0];
            validResponse = true;
        }
        . . .
    }
    else if (action ==  = "image"){
        var o3 = $get(controlID);
        if (o3){
            o3.src = params[0];
        }
        . . .
    }
    else if (action == 'include'){
        var id = params[0];
        var elm = (id ? $get(id): null);
        . . . if (elm){
            elm.parentNode.removeChild(elm);
        }
        document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(elm);
        . . .
    }

Internal callback result management in Web ADF controls

• When a Toolbar control is buddied to a Map control, any command action on the Toolbar copies the Map's callback results to the Toolbar's callback results collection. If the command changed the Map, the callback results are added to the Toolbar callback results, which generates the Web response. The same applies to a PageLayout control if a Toolbar control is buddied to it.
• When a Toc control is buddied to a Map control, a NodeChecked event copies the Map's callback results to the Toc's callback results.
• When the Map and Toc controls contain a scale dependent layer, a ScaleChanged event copies the Toc's callback results to the Map's callback results.
• When a ScaleBar control is buddied to a Map control, the ScaleBar's PreRender event copies the ScaleBar's callback results to the Map's callback results.
• When a MapCopyrightText control is buddied to a Map control, adding or removing a map resource item copies the MapCopyrightText's callback results to the Map's callback results.
• When a Magnifier control is buddied to a Map control, changing the extent of the map or initializing the tiling scheme copies the Magnifier's callback results to the Map's callback results. The FloatingPanel.Refresh() method adds the callback results for all child Web ADF controls to the FloatingPanel's callback results collection.
• When a TaskResults control is buddied to a Map control, execution of a task copies the Map's callback results to the TaskResults control. The TaskResults' callback results are then added to the task's callback results, which is responsible for generating the callback response. If you manually copy the Map's callback results to the TaskResults' callback results, they are duplicated.
• The TaskResults control contains a set of preconfigured ContextMenus. During the ItemClicked event on these ContextMenus, the callback results collection from the TaskResults and Map controls are added to the ContextMenus' callback results.
