How Can I Keep Certain Controls From Updating In An UpdatePanel?

Question

I have an UpdatePanel with many objects within. How can I prevent some of them from reloading when the panel is refreshed? Is there a tag to make this happen, to sort of "isolate" some elements from the update?

Your best bet would be to use multiple UpdatePanels in your layout so that you can effectively group what needs to be grouped. Then you need to make sure that the UpdatePanels are set to Conditional so that you can control whether they will asyncpostback when other UpdatePanels asyncpostback.

Edit: Here is a tutorial that demonstrates some of this functionality
