I’m trying to call a Modal Popup, but the TargetControl is in a different UpdatePanel than where the ModalPopupExtender resides.

Here’s the code:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID='UpdatePanel1' runat='server' UpdateMode='Conditional'>     <ContentTemplate>         <asp:LinkButton ID='LinkButton1' runat='server'>LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>     </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel> <asp:UpdatePanel ID='UpdatePanel2' runat='server'  UpdateMode='Conditional'>     <ContentTemplate>         <asp:Panel ID='Panel1' runat='server'>         Test         </asp:Panel>         <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID='Panel1_ModalPopupExtender' runat='server'              DynamicServicePath='' Enabled='True' TargetControlID='LinkButton1' PopupControlID='Panel1'>         </cc1:ModalPopupExtender>     </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel>

When I run the page the error ‘An extender can’t be in a different UpdatePanel than the control it extends.’ is shown.

I’m trying to put a Triggers statement in the UpdatePanel2 but nothing changes:

<Triggers>         <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID='LinkButton1' EventName='Click' />     </Triggers>

Is possible to do that? Thanks

  1. Move the extender to the first update panel:

        <asp:UpdatePanel ID='UpdatePanel1' runat='server' UpdateMode='Conditional'>     <ContentTemplate>         <asp:LinkButton ID='LinkButton1' runat='server'>LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>                 <ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender ID='Panel1_ModalPopupExtender' runat='server'              DynamicServicePath='' Enabled='True' TargetControlID='LinkButton1' PopupControlID='Panel1'>         </ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender>      </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel> <asp:UpdatePanel ID='UpdatePanel2' runat='server'  UpdateMode='Conditional'>     <ContentTemplate>         <asp:Panel ID='Panel1' runat='server'>         Test         </asp:Panel>     </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel>
