Modalpopup with UpdatePanel - asp.net

Question

I have an autocompleteextender that displays the list of countries. In the same textbox, when I type something and click on "Search" button, a pop-up should be opened and should display the matching countries. I am using modalpopupextender for the popup.
aspx code:
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<contenttemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="250px"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:ImageButton id="ImageButton1" onclick="imgBtnSearch_Click" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/Lab/search.jpg"></asp:ImageButton>
<cc1:AutoCompleteExtender id="TextBox1_AutoCompleteExtender" runat="server" EnableCaching="true" CompletionSetCount="10" MinimumPrefixLength="1" ServicePath="AutoComplete.asmx" UseContextKey="True" TargetControlID="TextBox1" ServiceMethod="GetCountryInfo">
</cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>
<cc1:ModalPopupExtender id="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="ImageButton1" BackgroundCssClass="ModalPopupBG" Drag="true" PopupDragHandleControlID="PopupHeader" PopupControlID="updatePanel2" CancelControlID="btnCancel" ></cc1:ModalPopupExtender>
</contenttemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdatePanel id="updatePanel2" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:RadioButtonList id="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" Width="400" Height="400" RepeatColumns="5" RepeatLayout="Table" RepeatDirection="Vertical" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:RadioButtonList>
<DIV class="Controls">
<INPUT id="btnOk" type="button" value="OK" />
<INPUT id="btnCancel" type="button" value="Cancel" />
</DIV>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="ImageButton1" EventName="Click"></asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger>
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
And in my codebehind:
protected void imgBtnSearch_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
LoadCountryPopUp();
ModalPopupExtender1.Show();
}
I am not getting any countries in my popup, although I get results via my autocompleteextender. On clicking the imagebutton, I get the popup without any content. Pls help!

Answer 1

Place your popup contents inside panel like this:
<asp:UpdatePanel id="updatePanel2" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Panel id="pnlPopup" runat="server">
<asp:RadioButtonList id="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" Width="400" Height="400" RepeatColumns="5" RepeatLayout="Table" RepeatDirection="Vertical" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:RadioButtonList>
<DIV class="Controls">
<INPUT id="btnOk" type="button" value="OK" />
<INPUT id="btnCancel" type="button" value="Cancel" />
</DIV>
</Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="ImageButton1" EventName="Click"></asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger>
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
and replace UpdatePanel's controls Id with this Panel's id:
<cc1:ModalPopupExtender id="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="ImageButton1" BackgroundCssClass="ModalPopupBG" Drag="true" PopupDragHandleControlID="PopupHeader" PopupControlID="pnlPopup" CancelControlID="btnCancel" ></cc1:ModalPopupExtender>
and check if it works?

Try putting the extenders outside of the update panel, it should not be a child of what it is extending
