PageRequestManagerParserErrorException caused by Response diddling?

I am porting an old app that downloads a csv file by writing into Response.OutputStream when a button is pushed on the form. The button is contained in an asp:Panel that can be made visible or not, so the Panel needs to be contained in the UpdatePanel.

If the asp:Panel and button are in an update panel, I get PageRequestManagerParserErrorException. If the panel and button are NOT in an UpdatePanel, the download works okay, but of course, I lose the ability to show/hide the asp:Panel.

My question is--is there a way to have a button in an UpdatePanel, but tell it NOT to participate in partial page rendering?

Or is there a better way to do the download??

Thanks,

R.L.

Hi Rlparker,

If you want a button not to participate in partialrendering then you have to make sure that you the button as a postback trigger. This will make sure that the button will act normally as a normal button event. See:

http://ajax.asp.net/docs/mref/T_System_Web_UI_PostBackTrigger.aspx

Hope this helps.

Sorry

"you have to make sure that you the button as a postback trigger"

Thanks!!
