UpdatePanel - File Upload doesn't work with UpdatePanel

I'm using Telerik's RadUpload control. I have a lot more controls like textboxes, calendar, checkboxes, etc on the page.
It's a job site project.

When I wrap the entire page in an UpdatePanel, the file upload doesnt work. Doesnt upload a file. I step thru it and
i see it's hitting the code but nothing happens.

When I remove the updatePanel, i can upload fine..

How can I make this work? Should I NOT wrap the file-upload section in an UpdatePanel but wrap the rest of the page in an updatePanel?(dont like doing that tho)

<td align="left" valign="middle">
                 <telerik:RadUpload runat="server"  Skin="Vista"   MaxFileInputsCount="1" InitialFileInputsCount="1"
                     ControlObjectsVisibility="ClearButtons" AllowedFileExtensions=".doc,.docx,.pdf,.odt,.rtf" 
                     TargetFolder="~/hrtest" OverwriteExistingFiles="true"
                     TabIndex="16" ID="formUPLOAD"  ></telerik:RadUpload>
            
            </td>

protected void btnSubmitUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (formUPLOAD.UploadedFiles.Count > 0)
        {
            // this is all i have here. But it still does work without any more code.

        }


    }

Yep, like i said, this article begins with "RadUpload cannot upload files using AJAX calls. " :(

hmmm, maybe i should use another control. I think asp.net or Ajax has has another file upload control...or maybe I should just leave that file upload outside the updatepanel.

Yep, what you need to do is to leave the control outside of the ajax loading panels.

Please consider closing this session giving us the deserved points.
