DetailsView Inside of a Modal Popup

I'm using a DetailsView to insert new records into a database as well as edit existing records. The Modal is called via ModalPopupExtender.Show() when a LinkButton is clicked and then hidden when the LinkButtons on the DetailsView are clicked. The Functions of the modal popup seem to work fine as well as the Insert() Update() methods of the DetailsView. The problem I'm having is with updating the Text property of the LinkButton at the bottom of the DetailsView to change it from "Add" to "Save" depending on the DetailsView.CurrentMode that I'm changing to/from. I've tried using Update Panels around the LinkButtons only in the DetailsView and then I added an AsyncPostBack trigger for the LinkButton that pops the modal DetailsView in Insert mode and an AsyncPostBack that pops the modal DetailsView in Edit mode from the GridView I have on the page. Then I added a PostBack trigger to handle clicks of the LinkButton on the DetailsView for Insert/Update (depending on the mode) and then Cancel. Both of the postbacks close the modal successfully, it's the AsyncPostBacks that are not updating the Modal DetailsView to show the right Text on the one LinkButton I'm trying to update. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code:

I was unable to accomplish changing the Text property value to what I wanted but I ended up modifying the code to remove the Update Panels in order to get modal DetailsView to Insert and Edit records and then update the GridView control by calling GridView.DataBind() after the Update() or Insert() methods were called for the DetailsView. Not exactly what I wanted but works.

Deploying Atlas Web Site

Is it as simple as running the Atlas install? Is there a way to identify the files and include the files within our existing framework? Have Googled this and found very little in regards to deploying to a production server a Atlas enabled web site.

Thanks

Deploying an Ajax (formerly known as Atlas) website is as easy as sleeping in your bed.

The only file that you need from Ajax is the AjaxControlToolkit.dll, which you put it in your bin folder if you use it. All the other files are in the GAC of the server.

The server has to have Ajax installed. Hope that helps.

Hi. I have a similar question. I understand the need to install Ajax on the GAC and this simply means running the installer package form the Ajax site or Code plex on a production environment.

Here are some questions I have.

1. Is there any way that Ajax would NOT work if everything is installed using a Xcopy in my bin folder of the Ajax enabled web site?

2. What about security and trust levels? What is the impact of this from a deployment standpoint?

3. I assume I would not be able to install Ajax on the GAC if I have a hosted server where I host my application? What are the recommendations in this kind of a scenario?

Thanks in advance,
Sriram

I have the same doubt. Please help me out
