Modal popup disappears

I have a panel with a ddl on it. DropDownlist makes a postback when i choose options from the ddl. It has onSelectedIndexChange and AutoPostback="true".

Now, I use AjaxPopupExtender. I click on a link. I popup the panel. I choose a value from ddl. It makes a post back. ***Disappears****. I have to click on the link again to pop it up and see the ddl again.

I wrapped my panel in Updatepanel but didnt work. What can I do?

<asp:Panel ID="pnlPaymentOptions" CssClass="modalPanel" runat="server" >
   ....
       <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPaymentType" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" AppendDataBoundItems="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlPaymentType_SelectedIndexChanged">
                                <asp:ListItem Text="-- Select Payment Type" Value="None"></asp:ListItem>
                                <asp:ListItem Text="Check" Value="Check"></asp:ListItem>
                                <asp:ListItem Text="Money Order" Value="Money Order"></asp:ListItem>
                            </asp:DropDownList>
 
--- This is how I pop it:
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbAddPayment"  runat="server" Text="Add Payment"/>
                </legend>
                 
             <ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender  BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground"  TargetControlID="lbAddPayment" PopupControlID="pnlPaymentOptions"
                                                 ID="ModalPopupExtender2"  runat="server">
                    
              </ajaxToolkit:ModalPopupExtender>

I just did this. This keeps the modal-popup on the screen. I can change the ddl value BUT..when I change the ddl value, some sub panels need to show up (visible = true). I step thru the code and it does make a post back...modal popup stays on screen, goes thru correct code but the panels wont show up.

Let me try your method.

This is what I tried:

<rad:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="pnlPaymentOptions">
<UpdatedControls >

<rad:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="ddlPaymentType" />

</UpdatedControls>
</rad:AjaxSetting>

I tried it. Same thing happens in that the panels that must get visible ..dont show up. I set debug. ddl changes value. It DOES make a postback. Modal popup stays on screen which is good . Code goes thru the right section and set the other panels to visible but the screen doesnt show them.

Do I need to wrap other panels in update panel as well??

this is what i have. See the second panel having "visible="false". Code-behind sets it to true. Code goes thru right section but the panel wont show up:

 <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
                         <ContentTemplate>
 
                            <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPaymentType" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" AppendDataBoundItems="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlPaymentType_SelectedIndexChanged">
                                <asp:ListItem Text="-- Select Payment Type" Value="None"></asp:ListItem>
                                <asp:ListItem Text="Check" Value="Check"></asp:ListItem>
                                <asp:ListItem Text="Money Order" Value="Money Order"></asp:ListItem>
                            </asp:DropDownList>
                            </ContentTemplate>
                        </asp:UpdatePanel>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2">
                <asp:Panel ID="pnlPaymentCreditCard" Visible="false" runat="server">

Yes, if you are setting visible=true in the code behind, then you need to wrap the panel in an update panel as well.

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server">
            <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
                <ContentTemplate>
                    <!-- your drop down list code -->
                </ContentTemplate>
            </asp:UpdatePanel>
        </asp:Panel>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

yes, if I wrap the entire section in update panel, then it works. other panels show up fine.
