Question

How do I force full post-back from a button within an UpdatePanel?

Answer 1

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> 

Answer 2

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);
