Controls[DataGrid/TesxBoxes/Label] outside UpdatPanel not updating/populating

[manraj82]

I have got a grid[Grid1] that build its data when a button[search] is clicked, I managed to Ajaxify it by placing it in an UpdatePanel. Before Ajaxifying Grid 1, the grid used to populate another grid[Grid2] and some other controls[Text and Labels] when a row in Grid 1 was clicked .

The Grid2 and other controls used to get populated/updated on the OnItemCommand Event of Grid 1.After I placed the Grid 1 in the update panel,they stopped updating. It will work fine if I place Grid2 and other controls in the same Update Panel but the page is designed in a way that I cant have those controls in the same UpdatePanel as the first Grid nor I dont intend to use another Update Panel. I

I hope I'm making some sense. I'm a newbie in .Net so please excuse. Please find the code below.

<asp:ScriptManager EnablePartialRendering="true" ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
     <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional" ChildrenAsTriggers ="True">

       </ContentTemplate>
      </asp:UpdatePanel>

The below code stopped working

protected void grdJobs_ItemCommand(object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.CommandName == "Load")
        {
            functionToBindDataToGrid2();
            functionToBindDataToOtherControls();
        }
}

protected void grdJobs_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
    {
	e.Item.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:__doPostBack('grdJobs$ctl" + ((Convert.ToInt32(e.Item.ItemIndex + 3).ToString("00"))) + "$ctl00','')");
     }
