A:
I don't think you'd want to put an update panel and a gridview in an asp.net mvc application.
I don't know what you're trying to do, or why you picked asp.net mvc, but it sounds like you just need to stick to asp.net if you want to do those kind of things. MVC works very differently than classic webforms.

Something like jqGrid for example. You'll have to go through a bit of a learning curve, but it's very nice.

If you want to have AJAX functionality with ASP.NET MVC I suggest you do that with JQuery (the Javascript framework officially supported by Microsoft and shipping with VS 2010). UpdatePanel was supported in ASP.NET, it is not in ASP.NET MVC.
See a tutorial on how to build some AJAX functionality with ASP.NET MVC here and here.

Also keep in mind that the AJAX framework that Microsoft bolted on to ASP.Net webforms requires a full viewstate postback, so that kills one of the benefits of the MVC framework, which is to not require viewstate for control persistence.

ASP.Net MVC has no concept of controls, the standard Web Form controls do not work with MVC.
Why are you trying to integrate WebForm controls in MVC?

from NIkhil's Blog, i could see the integration with the ajax. he is demonstrating the waterboxtextmark.http://www.nikhilk.net/Ajax-MVC.aspxthats the reason why i thought of integrating the ajax controls.in his sample code he is using system.web.extension 3.6.0.0but i am not able to add any reference as such. do i need to install anything else to get this 3.6.0.0 version???
