Well add an additional linkbutton for example and make sure it is visible but has not text. You can then set the TargetControlID to this “no-text” linkbutton. Since there is no text, you can’t see it and since you can’t see it the user won’t click it. Nifty <IMG class="wp-smiley" alt=":-)" src="http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" /> Next you can have a second linkbutton the performs a callback to the server and executes some serverside code. If you put this linklabel in an asp.net ajax updatepanel you won’t notice the callback and you can use the ProgressIndicator functionality in asp.net ajax.At serverside you can perform some code execution and for example set a Label’s text proeprty to the result. Finally you can access the ModalPopupExtender and call the Show method that’s available this will cause the popup to appear.I really like this way of working because it allows for a nice userinterface experience and interaction with user</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C3F93AD2-6584-4D6A-A21B-853795B2B317/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
