Hi all,

I'm stuck down here for a couple of days trying to figure out what the hell between Umbraco and Ajax. Basically, I'm currently using a usercontrols as Macro to generate a Gridview to the frontend. This GridView run fine, including manually managed Sorting, Paging and Select.

As I surround it by a Updatepanel tag, adding a Scriptmanager just before, the macro still render correctly.

<form runat="server" id="form1" >
  <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
  <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" >
    <ContentTemplate>
      <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" [...] >
        <Columns>
          <asp:BoundField [...] />
          [...]
          <asp:BoundField [...] />
        </Columns>
      </asp:GridView>
      <asp:Button ID="Insert" runat="server" [...] CommandName="Insert" />
      <asp:Button ID="Update" runat="server" [...] CommandName="Update" />
      <asp:Button ID="Delete" runat="server" [...] CommandName="Delete" />
    </ContentTemplate>
  </asp:UpdatePanel>
</form>

Problem is that the _dopostback client side events does not fire anymore. I still can see the html links on mouse over but nothing else append anymore.

javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderDefault$body$primary_content$ctl00$MyPage_3$MyGridView','Sort$FirstColumn')

Also, I can not access to my Ajax controls from the code behind.

Editing:      \App_Code\myCodeBehind_ascx.cs

[...]
using System.Web.UI;
[...]
ScriptManager mySM;
UpdatePanel myUP;
[...]

Errors:

The type or namespace name 'ScriptManager' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
The type or namespace name 'UpdatePanel' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Editing again:      \App_Code\myCodeBehind_ascx.cs

System.Web.UI.ScriptManager mySM;
System.Web.UI.UpdatePanel myUP;

Errors:

The type or namespace name 'ScriptManager' 
does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.UI' (are you missing an 
assembly reference?)
The type or namespace name 'UpdatePanel' does 
not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.UI' (are you missing an assembly 
reference?)

I assume my Ajax extensions are correctly installed (backend Ajax stuffs run correctly). Here is part of my web.config:

I'm building this project using Umbraco Azure Deployment Accelerator as base. My Umbraco instance is currently running on Windows Azure.

• Umbraco v 4.5.2 (Assembly version: 1.0.3891.20719)
• Azure SDK Version:1.2.10512.1409
• Azure OS Version: WA-GUEST-OS-1.9_201011-01

I know that there is other ways to handle Ajax in Umbraco: /Base, AjaxToolKit and probably more but my need is really basic so I'm wondering if I could just use an UpdatePanel to achieve.

Thanks guys for any help on that point.
