The AsyncPostBackTrigger “wires” up these controls to trigger an asynchronous post back. Conversely, controls declared inside an update panel will trigger an asynchronous call by default. The PostBackTrigger short circuits this, and forces the control to do a synchronous post back.

The most-frequently seen element is the <ContentTemplate> element, which essentially encapsulates the content that will be held by the update panel (the content for which we are enabling partial rendering). The other element is the …

- Set the UpdateMode property of both UpdatePanel tags to Conditional.
Under The Hood
- Utilizing the example we just constructed, we can take a look at what ASP.NET AJAX is doing and how our UpdatePanel cross-panel triggers work. To do so, we will work with the generated page source HTML, as well as the Mozilla Firefox extension called FireBug - with it, we can easily examine the AJAX postbacks. We will also use the .NET Reflector tool by Lutz Roeder. Both of th…

- The ASP.NET AJAX Extensions UpdatePanel control is versatile, and can utilize a number of methods for identifying control events that should cause it to be updated. It supports being updated automatically by its child controls, but can also respond to control events elsewhere on the page. To reduce potential for server processing load, it is recommended that the ChildrenAs…
