asp.net updatepanel causing unintended postbacks
I am working on a web page in asp.net (I am new to asp.net). I have a script manager and two update panels (UpdatePanelCustomers and UpdatePanelItems) on my page, but I am experiencing a problem on post backs. I have an image button (ibtnFilterCustomers) in the UpdatePanelCustomers panel, but when I click it, my UpdatePanelItems attempts to refresh and I get an exception (pasted below). I cannot figure out how to resolve this. I have set updatemode="conditional" for each panel, but that does not solve it. However, if I move the button outside of the UpdatePanelCustomers and click it then UpdatePanelItems does not refresh (which is the intended action). I would like to keep the button inside of the panel. Please help me understand why this is happing and how to resolve it. Maybe it would be best to handle all activity from the Click_Event and avoid the postback - but I don't know how to do that either. Thanks in advance for your help.

I tried as suggested, but the actions have not changed. The UpdatePanelItems still posts back.

Ok, so I added a button control next to the image button and when I click the button it processes fine with no error - only the image button produces the error. Now I need to figure out why! For design purposes, I would really prefer to use the image button.
try to add a trigger to the UpdatePanelCustomers panel as below
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="ibtnFilterCusto
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
and also try with removing updatemode="conditional" from UpdatePanelCustomers.
hope this helps.
