I am fairly new to Atals. I have not gotten my hands dirty yet...

I am wondering if I am able to place an UpdatePanel inside an ItemTemplate column within a DataGrid?

So the page would look something like this:

DataGrid
-> [row 1] UpdatePanel1
-> [row 2] UpdatePanel2
-> [row 3] UpdatePanel3
etc

Is there a better way I should be doing this? Perhaps use a Repeater?? 

Why would you want an UpdatePanel on each row? Instead wrap one UpdatePanel around the entire DataGrid.

Hope this helps...
 

Hi,

yes you can if you use the July CTP, since it supports dynamic UpdatePanels. 

i'm talking about a significant grid which holds quite amount of dynamic data. I would rather update a single row than the entire datagrid.

Thanks for the reply. 

Thats just whats going to happen .  
The asyncron ajax postback will only call and collect what data is updated , even if you have all your datarows within a single updatepanel.
In other words , it will not update the entire updatepanel if only a single row is changed.
