I have a page based on a master page and as such i can only see the content place holders i used in the master page showing up in the aspx pages based on the master page. the source code shown below:
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CaseAdmin.aspx.cs" Inherits="Prototype4.CaseAdmin" %>
<%@PreviousPageType VirtualPath="~/Account/Login.aspx"%>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="CaseRightNews" ContentPlaceHolderID="RightNewsItem" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="CaseLeftNav" ContentPlaceHolderID="LeftNavigation" runat="server">
<div style="margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px;">
<p class="actionButton">
<asp:LinkButton ID="OpenCaseLinkButton" runat="server"
onclick="OpenCaseLinkButton_Click">Open Case</asp:LinkButton>
</p>
<p class="actionButton"><asp:LinkButton ID="RegisterExhibitLinkButton"
runat="server" onclick="RegisterExhibitLinkButton_Click">Register Exhibit</asp:LinkButton> </p>
</div>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="CaseMainContnt" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="CaseMainCntntUpdatePanel" UpdateMode="
Conditional" runat="server">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="" eventname="Click"/>
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
<%--Some text here to inform user to click on the open case botton to display open case form--%>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="UpdatePanel1" updatemode="
Conditional">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="" eventname="Click"/>
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
<%--some text here to inform users to click on the add exhibit botton to display add exhibit form--%>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Content>
the section of the entire page i wish to change upon update is the (this is the main content of the page). for this reason i placed the updatepanel inside the content place holder since it cant be sitting outside and not wrapped in a content place holder. However, the buttons that i wish to apply the trigger that fires the update to, are in another content place holder(). How can i possibly get those buttons to act as the trigger while changing only what appears in the main content area.
Plus, i tried getting the updatepanel to work just so i could see if it does the update well but it turned out really bad. i added some linkbottons in the content template area and used them as the triggers for testing reasons. i tested and the changes took over the entire page in contrast to just appearing in the content area.
I actually just wanted to load a form that is created in another asp. page into the main content area...
I seriously need help with this...
Every little help, detail and information is dearly appreciated...
thanks so much in advance
