I have an ASP.NET Web Forms application. In my GridView OverviewGridView there is a button dlButton that onclick triggers a ModalPopupExtender DisplayLinkMPE that controls a Panel dlModalPanel. Upon dlButton click I want to display some text (that differs depending on the GridView’s row) when the dlModalPanel pops up. I have this code in my aspx:

<asp:Button ID="dlButton" runat="server" CommandName="DisplayLink" CommandArgument="<%# TryCast(Container,GridViewRow).RowIndex %>" Text="Copy Link" />
<ajax:ModalPopupExtender ID="DisplayLinkMPE" runat="server" TargetControlID="dlButton" PopupControlID="dlModalPanel" CancelControlID="btnCancel" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" />

 <asp:ScriptManager ID="ModalDialogScriptManager" runat="server" />
    <asp:Panel ID="dlModalPanel" runat="server" Style="display: none;">
        <table>
            <tr align="center">
                <td colspan="2">
                    <asp:Label ID="lblDownloadLink" runat="server" ForeColor="White">Copy Download Link:</asp:Label>
                    <asp:Label ID="txtDownloadLink" runat="server"></asp:Label>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td align="right">
                    <asp:Button ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" />
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </asp:Panel>

In my code behind the dlButton click is handled by the OverviewGridView RowCommand event handler, which is executed after the Page is postback:

Dim selectedRowIndex As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)

Dim displayLinkMPE As AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopupExtender = OverviewGridView.Rows(selectedRowIndex).FindControl("displayLinkMPE")

//Get itemUrl

txtDownloadLink.Text = itemUrl
displayLinkMPE.Show()

Everything is displayed correctly but the Text in txtDownloadLink remains empty. How can I update this Text? Thanks

I understand also C# so answers in both languages are welcome!

    Check this excellent post by Matt Berseth Check it here, I think you must use an updatepanel & wrap your modal code inside it, then manually update the UpdatePanel with 

    upatePanel1.Update();
    1. Check this link for another example

    Edit Check Fully working example. You have to manually update the modal popup updatepanel to see any changes to textbox.
