I have two pages in my applicaiton, both pages have the following basic structure:

    
            ...  
        
            <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="xxx" UpdateMode="Conditional">  
        
                <ContentTemplate> 
        
                    <telerik:RadDockLayout ID="xxx" runat="server">  
        
                        <telerik:RadDockZone ID="xxx" runat="server">  
        
                            <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="xxx" UpdateMode="Conditional">  
        
                                <ContentTemplate> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadDock runat="server" ID="xxx">  
        
                                        <ContentTemplate> 
        
                                            <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="xxx" UpdateMode="Conditional">  
        
                                                <ContentTemplate> 
        
                                                    ...  
        
                                                </ContentTemplate> 
        
                                            </asp:UpdatePanel> 
        
                                         </ContentTemplate> 
        
                                     </telerik:RadDock> 
        
                                 </ContentTemplate> 
        
                            </asp:UpdatePanel>   
        
                        </telerik:RadDockZone>   
        
                    </telerik:RadDockLayout> 
        
                </ContentTemplate> 
        
            </asp:UpdatePanel> 
        
            ...

(note that each UpdatePanel has appropriate AsyncPostBackTriggers set)

One of the pages dynamically adds the RadDocks at run-time, and the other has the RadDocks hard-coded. The issue is that when any RadDock is moved/minimized/closed within the dynamic page, all other RadDocks are refreshed. When any RadDock is moved/minimized/closed within the hard-coded page, all other RadDocks remain untouched. What I want is the latter effect, where I can alter one RadDock and others will remain untouched.

How can I make this happen? Anything with ViewState? With more/less UpdatePanels? With changing UpdateModes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ryan,

Take a look at the following modification of the My Portal example. It uses a hidden UpdatePanel where the docks are added to, and loads a client script from the server to dock them to the respective dock zone. This way only the dock that is closed/moved/collapsed is refreshed and not all of the RadDocks present on the page.
