Raising events form a UpdatePanel in a control to the page it is on

G Morning Everyone,
I am running into an issue when raising events for a usercontrol containing an UpdatePanel to the page it is one.
-An event is triggered in an UpdatePanel in the usercontrol the fires a Public Event.
-This event is grabbed by a handler on the page it sits on
-A series of things are done to other controls on the page in the handler
When i walk thru the process in debug i see all the code fire but then it returns to the page and none of the changes have occurred
ex. The event handler turns the control that raised the event visible=false and another one visible=true but that does not occur

Button inside of the Update Panel in the usercontrol
Protected Sub btnNextQuestion_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNextQuestion.Click
        Dim lastquestion As Integer = CInt(Me.lblLastQuestion.Text)
        Dim check As Boolean
        Dim requestid As Integer = CInt(Me.lblRequestID.Text)
        Dim level As Integer = CInt(Me.lblLevel.Text)

        SaveCompletedQuestions(requestid, gvQuestions, Published)


        check = LoadUI(requestid)
        If check = False Then
           
            Me.gvQuestions.Visible = False
            Me.gvProducts.Visible = False
            Me.btnNextQuestion.Visible = False
            CommentControls(False)
            'raise event
            RaiseEvent DisplayRequestSummary()
        End If

The Code in the page it sits on:
AddHandler ucRequestEditor.DisplayRequestSummary, AddressOf DisplayRequestSummary

Private Sub DisplayRequestSummary()
        Dim ucPeople As People = CType(Me.FindControl("People1"), People)
        'When click on "Review Request" in clientUI user control, show the requestSummary user control
        Dim ucRequestSummary As requestSummary = CType(Me.FindControl("RequestSummary1"), requestSummary)
        Dim ucClientUI As clientUI = CType(Me.FindControl("ClientUI1"), clientUI)
        Dim ucRequestEditor As requestEditor = CType(Me.FindControl("RequestEditor1"), requestEditor)
        'Added 9/14 by jv-----
        Dim ucSubmitRequest As RequestDetail_SubmitRequest = CType(Me.FindControl("SubmitRequest1"), RequestDetail_SubmitRequest)
        With ucSubmitRequest
            .Visible = True
            .RequestID = ucClientUI.RequestID
            .RequestRegion = ucPeople.Region
            .RequestedForID = ucPeople.RequestedForID
        End With
        '---------------------
        With ucRequestSummary
            .Visible = True
            .RequestID = ucClientUI.RequestID
            .InitializeUC()
        End With
        ucClientUI.Visible = False
        ucRequestEditor.Visible = False
    End Sub

I have run into this issue before, seems to happen when ever i raise an event from inside an AJAX updatepanel event
