two updatepanels

[elic05]

I have two updatepanels (not nested)

one has a label in it that is updated by a timer every 2 seconds, the timer and the label are inside the update panel.
the event Timer1_Tick update the UpdateTable




the second updatepanel has an asp:image

the image has to be updated by imageButtons that are inside a datalist

i dont want the datalist to be updated therefore it is not inside the uploadpanel.

in order to be a trigger to update this image (the asp:Image) I added in codeBehind


ScriptManager1.RegisterAsyncPostBackControl(DataList1)


the problem

the first updatepanel is working good and is updated every 2 seconds

the asp:Image is updated by the imagebuttons of the datalist

but also by the timer so the image is loaded every 2 seconds.

how can I tell the timer not to update the second updatepanel?

The key is to set the "updatemode" property to "conditional"

(I have found that using jquery often provides more control and better performance than the MS updatepanels.. but it really depends on what you want to do.)
