I have an updatepanel. Inside that i have some controls for selecting search criteria. For search button onclientclick iam calling javascript functon for validation and in onclick iam calling the mathod to populate the gridview. On clicking search first time it is not loading the grid and clicking the second time it populates.
Remove from the updatePanel your code and checks for errors on the first click, then place it again.
Its probably have to do with your viewstate that is not populate correctly so your first click gets an error that you do not see because of your updatePanel.

I have an updatepanel with multiple Dropdown. When user select value from the dropdown and hits save button (which is outside updatepanel) immediately, the dropdown previous selected value data is getting displayed instead of loading new value data.
So how to stop postback (save button) until updatepanel data gets loaded.
Thanks in advance.
UseSubmitBehavior="false" on the button will stop postback from happening.
This is what I'm trying to do with AJAX:
[DropDownList]
I have a DropDownList (not inside an UpdatePanel), populated by different Products to "Add" to the database.
[UpdatePanel #1]
Below, I have an Conditional UpdatePanel that listens for "SelectedIndexChanged" on the DropDownList, when that event is triggered it adds TextBoxes to a div "productForm" inside the UpdatePanel. It creates the Form according to the Product to add.
[Button]
Below the UpdatePanel I have a button that "should" submit the form above.
[UpdatePanel #2]
I have an update panel that listens for the event on Button "Click" event. I also have a div in the ContentTemplate that should post out data that was submitted from the "Add Product Form" in the first UpdatePanel.
The thing is, when I submit (and the Controls are still visible in the first UpdatePanel. It can't read the data from the TextBoxes becaus they aren't there. Also, if I try to add all this to the same UpdatePanel, the Controls disappear whenever I click the Submit button.
Any ideas how to make something similar work?
Without the code I can suspect that when you dynamically populate first div on dropdown selected index changed event, since its within update panel, viewstate is never made aware of new controls and on submit can't post them back to server.
I've had some bad experiences with update panel and never use it other than very simple scenarios. Try getting familiar with jQuery ajax. I would do what you want to do using jQuery and web methods.
I have a button on my page and and few textboxes which alters their context on page_load event. when I open the page for the first time it loads random data from a database to textboxes with a function in pageload and also I create those textboxes dynamically. what I want is to make some changes on textboxes texts and click the button than send new context of textboxes to database. But when I click on button, PageLoad event fires again and It regenerates the textboxes and the context of them alter naturally since they are newly created textboxes. I tried to use "if(!Page.isPostBack)" in pageload but then the textboxes and related objects are not being created and they become null.
how can I overcome this problem?
best thing I can think of is to find some way to fire buttons click event without firing PageLoad event, but I dont know how can I do it.
any help would be appreciated;)

Can you regenerate the Textbox on each Page load Execution? and data assignment to these Textbox should be under !Page.IsPostback. All you have to do is to keep the IDs of the Textbox in ViewState only first time page load and next regeneration of Textbox will have the previous stored ID and you also have to store the ID corresponding data in ViewState. Makes sense?
My understanding of the order of page events is this:
Page : Load
Control : DataBind (for a GridView or whatever)
Control : Load
Control : Clicked (for a Button)
Page: PreRender
Control : PreRender
(There are lots of others - but these are the ones I'm interested in)
The important thing to notice here is that the button's click event comes after the gridview's bind event. If the button causes a change to the data, the GridView displays the old data. I could rebind the control in the PreRender event, but that seems totally ugly.
This must be a very common pattern (a button that updates data). How do I put this together so that the GridView binds to the data after the Button click changes it?
The answer was in the Button Click event, after the data has been changed, call DataBind() on the page to cause the GridView (and anything else that needs it) to rebind. I didn't realise you could do that.
Thank you Ocdecio & Mufasa - I would mark your answers as helpful, but I got no rep yet.
ASP.NET does, by default, lots of binding and rebinding. Rebinding after a click event is normal.
The only reason the button click event comes after GridView bind is because you programmed your page to do that . I don't see any problem in binding the control in the PreRender event, in fact that is the only way to take action after a control event (such as Button onclick).
I have an gridview that I am adding onclick events to a checkbox column via:
cb.InputAttributes.Add("onclick", "checkClick()");
everything works fine, but when the user clicks the save button on the form, (which is within the updatepanel), suddenly the onclick event of the checkboxes stops firing!
Is this a problem with the ASP.NET AJAX?
The weird thing is that I am seeing the onclick event on the source, it just doesn't fire.
Help!
The source will show you the state of the document when first received from the server, not the current state of the DOM. What is likely happening is the update panel content is being replaced by new HTML content. The elements to which the original click events were bound are no longer in the dom.
The onclick events will need to re-bound to wire-up to the new elements that have arrived.
