Export Radgrid in masterpage with and Updatepanel

[Kevin]

I have looked at the examples I could find but do not find one with a masterpage and updatepanel involved.  How can I export to excel within a masterpage and updatepanel.  If I have the updatepanel out of the following code it works but when put back in it does nto work, but produces no errors either.  Originally I tried to use one update panel but switched to 2 to see if I could get it to work this way. still no deal.

Hello,

Please note that the exporting feature of the control work with regular postbacks only and it could not function correctly with ajax request. In case you export from a Button that is nested in MS AJAX UpdatePanel, you should set this control as PostBackTrigger: Please refer to the help topic below which elaborates on this matter:
 http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-export-with-ajax-enabled.html

I hope this helps.
