I will suggest you to use ScriptManager.RegisterStar<wbr />tupScript,<wbr /> and use a javascript code here to make the panel invisible.<br />
<br />
ScriptManager.RegisterStar<wbr />tupScript(<wbr />this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),<wbr /> &quot;JAVA SCRIPT CODE&quot;, false);
</div>


I will suggest you to use ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript, and use a javascript code here to make the panel invisible.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "JAVA SCRIPT CODE", false);

Thanks! I ended up just including the Panel I wanted to make invisible in the original UpdatePanel... your way would work better tho. I'll give it a go

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an UpdatePanel that periodically checks a database for changes. When a particular change is detected i'd like to change the visible property of a Panel outside of the UpdatePanel to false. I guess this requires a page postback/refresh of some kind... but since Ajax only refreshes bits of the page, it has no effect.<br />
<br />
The way I was thinking to solve it was to do something like this...<br />
<br />
if (condition is met)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; somePanel.Visible = false;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; force page postback ????????<br />
}<br />
<br />
That way i'm thinking it'll reload the page and take into account the property changes to the Panel. How do I force a page refresh from the code behind? or is there some other way of doing this that I'm missing?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Affecting controls outside an UpdatePanel during an Ajax server request

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.

AJAX

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
