Refreshing controls in masterpage from user control (CallBack issue)

[StevenK]

I have a public method in my applications MasterPage which I can call from within a UserControl - i.e. by:

((MasterPage)this.Page.Master).MyMethodName();

This works fine from behind a button say (in the User Control) as we're effectively doing a postback.
This updates a label control in the MasterPage showing new totals, etc.

However I have a situation whereby I'm working with a CustombuttonCallback event from an AspxGridView (DevExpress control). When I try the same code as above (following an update to the database) - when I debug the code I can see that this method 'MyMethodName' in the MasterPage is stepped through - but the control is not refreshed.

How can I refresh the control (or MasterPage in it's entirity?) by means of the callback code?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

this is probably a better question for DevExpress experts. I'm sure they have a support forum on their website.

my guess is the CustombuttonCallback is an ajax thing. in which case a subset of the html in rendered to the screen durning the CustombuttonCallback. the results of the masterpage method are not sent to the client.
