Trying to Cause Full Page Post Back From Update Panel

I have a .aspx page that is dense to say the least. In it there is a modal popup and within that I have an update panel.(The modal may not matter here but I thought it best to mention it.) Within the update panel I have a place where the user will enter some search criteria and the results from the search are displayed in a gridview control. Within each row of the gridview control there is a checkbox for the user to select a particular record.

Upon doing so, the OnCheckedChanged event of the checkbox runs and it tries to take text from one of the cells (its a driver name) of the selected row and bind it to a label. This labe is outside both the update panel and the modalpopup.

So what I need I'm pretty sure is this to do is a full page postback when the OnCheckedChanged event fires so the label outside can display the selected rows cell text.
The code I have below almost works...(ugh!!!) It does not do the post back on checking a record. However, it seems that when I go back into the search and uncheck a record, the full postback happens and the labels text is correctly bound. Very weird.

Any direction on what I not understanding and how to fix this is most appreciated. Code is below.

    protected void chbxselect_OnCheckedChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CheckBox chbx = (CheckBox)sender;
       
        
        if (chbx.Checked == true)
        {
            GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)chbx.NamingContainer;
            string drivername = row.Cells[1].Text;
            lblDriverName.Text = drivername;
         
             
            mpedrvsearch.Hide();
            ScriptManager scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page);

            if (scriptManager != null)
            {

                scriptManager.RegisterPostBackControl(chbx);

            }





        }

    }

You will HAVE to use scriptManager.RegisterPostBackControl(chbx); on Page_Load otherwise it will never cause a full page postback on the first click!

ramgunti,
Unfortunately I have paging on my gridview. So when I click on a page it causes a full postback.
