Answer 1

You need to add a PostBackTrigger for your UploadControl because it is inside an update panel. (Maybe you need an AsyncPostBackTrigger)

Answer 2

A standard fileupload control cannot be used in an ajax-postback. You could use an AsyncFileUpload control from the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit. This control can send files in an ajax-postback and has some other options that you can see in the demo.

If you use the AsyncFileUpload, make sure to use the ToolkitScriptManager from the Ajax Control Toolkit instead of the default ScriptManager.
