How do I force full post-back from a button within an UpdatePanel?
You can use the Triggers property of the UpdatePanel to register actions that trigger a full postback.
Add a PostBackTrigger object to that property, containig the ControlID of the control which needs to trigger a full postback.
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" UpdateMode="Conditional" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> ... </ContentTemplate> <Triggers> <asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="myFullPostBackControlID" /> </Triggers></asp:UpdatePanel>
Just adding this because nobody else has. It is possible to do this in code-behind in one line of code without any of the above methods. Just put this in page_load:
Visual Basic
ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Me).RegisterPostBackControl(myButtonID)C#
ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this).RegisterPostBackControl(myButtonID);
From here:
Use the PostBackTrigger control to enable controls inside an UpdatePanel to cause a postback instead of performing an asynchronous postback.
<Triggers> <asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="controlID" /> </Triggers>
