I am trying to implement a simple update panel but no matter what I do it wont work...

I have a master page with a script manager within it, an inherited page which has a control placed in the contentplaceholder. the control holdes a newslist which has 2 drop down lists for ordering, I want the news list ordering to change when I select an item in the drop down lists (eg ascending/descending results). This works fine with postbacks but no matter what I do and where I put the update panel it alsways posts back and doesnt just updated the page? Is there something I need to add in anywhere to get this working?

If I removed the script manager it complains so I know it is aware of it. I saw in a blog about commenting out the xhtmlconformace="legacy" but that was in an older version of epierver and looks like it has been removed for this version?

Hi Tony,

Have you made changes in web.config according to this document?

http://www.asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/ConfiguringASPNETAJAX.aspx

Also, be aware of this known issue in EPiServer CMS 5 (SP2 and older):

#9879: Links with friendly url inside a updatepanel will be unfriendly after a async postback.

So you either need to not use friendly url on your site or you need to manually rewrite the links inside the updatepanel with a code similar to this:

  public string GetFriendlyURL(PageReference PageLink, string URL)
{
UrlBuilder url = new UrlBuilder(URL);
EPiServer.Global.UrlRewriteProvider.ConvertToExternal(url, PageLink, System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8);
return url.ToString();
}
