Databind a SQLDataSource on a Parent page from a Child Popup page?

Is is possible to call a Databind from a child popup page (using C#).  I need to repopulate a dropdown on a parent page without refreshing the whole page.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Are you using ajax at all?

If so just put the dropdown in it's own update panel (can be nested)

And call the update for that update panel.
