What I'm doing:
1. Put two RadAjaxPanels on a page.
2. Put one Rad controls in one of these panels and a simple asp.net control in the other one.
3. Changes made in one of these panels should refresh another panel but don't touch the panel where is the change was made.
4. Do any action in the panel with RadControl - panel with asp.net control will refresh correctly.
5. Do any change with asp.net control - panel with Rad control will breaks down and doesn't fire any events anymore.

I know that I can get that behaviour from page with another methods like AjaxUpdatedControls in AjaxManager and so on, but I need to update panels like I described. It is some kind of specific application and I have to use this way to update controls on page.
Unfortunately it is not working.
Any ideas how to make it working?

Hi Peter,

You have two correct approaches on this one:

First would be to use RadAjaxManager with 2 asp:Panels and set correct settings, but as you said earlier, this is not what you desire.

Another approach is to remove the RadAjaxManager completely from your page, because currently it does the Ajax, so it includes scripts for initializing client controls only for its settings, however since there are no settings, no controls are initialized on client side. The Dropdown works because it does not have any scripts on the page. You could do the same logic as your current one without manager, and the controls will be updated correctly. here is the code:
Aspx:
<script type="text/javascript">
 
    function Refresh1(sender, args)
    {
        var value = args.getDataKeyValue("Id");
        var rap1 = $find("<%= Rap1.ClientID %>");
        rap1.ajaxRequest("1|" + value);
    }
 
    function Refresh2(ddl)
    {
        var rap2 = $find("<%= Rap2.ClientID %>");
        rap2.ajaxRequest("2|" + ddl.options[ddl.selectedIndex].value);
    }
</script>

C#
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnInit(e);
    Rap1.AjaxRequest += Ram1OnAjaxRequest;
    Rap2.AjaxRequest += Ram1OnAjaxRequest;
 
}
 
private void Ram1OnAjaxRequest(object sender, AjaxRequestEventArgs e)
{
    if (e == null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Argument)) return;
    if (e.Argument.StartsWith("1|"))
    {
        InitComboBox(e.Argument);
        Rap1.RaisePostBackEvent(null);
    }
    if (e.Argument.StartsWith("2|"))
    {
        InitGrid();
        Rap2.RaisePostBackEvent(null);
    }
}
