Question

I have an UpdatePanel with some checkboxes in it. I check them, and hit my Save button, but that causes the UpdatePanel to postback (refresh) and sets them all back to blank. The re-drawing method runs before the button code.

What is the correct way to have an UpdatePanel with checkboxes in that you can manipulate?

Example of code:

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional" ID="updatePanel1">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="myCheckBox" Caption="CheckBox"/>
        <asp:Button runat="server" ID="saveButton" 
                   Caption="Save" OnClick="SaveButtonClick"/>
    </ContentTemplate>    
    <Triggers>
        <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="saveButton" EventName="Click" />        
    </Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Make sure that:

1. UpdateMode of UpdatePanel is Conditional
2. SaveButton contained in Triggers-section as ControlID of AsyncPostBackTrigger
