Question

I have a masterpage and a content page. In the content page I have a script manager and an update panel. In the update panel I want to be able to click a button which would hit a public method on the master page to show a message. This works if I don’t have an update panel on the content page but is there a way to get it to work when the button is in an update panel?

Master Page:

public void ShowMessage(string Message) 
{
    lblError.Text = Message; 
    lblError.Visible = True; 
}

Content Page:

Master.ShowMessage("something");

Answer 1

I ended up just sucking it up and putting the script manager on the master page and putting the label on the master page inside an update panel.
