Sorry for the repeat question. I am new with Ajax and for some reason I'm just not understanding the other posts.
I have a RadAjaxManager on a content page that updated a RadGrid. I have a search textbox on my Master Page that I want the grid to respond to, but I can't figure out how to hook it up.
Can somebody explain how I can do this? Again, I'm sorry for the repeat questions, but like I said I am new with Ajax and am having problems comprehending the other posts.

HI Mike,
You can place the RadAjaxManager in your MasterPage and then ajaxify and update every single control in your application.
Here is one online document explaining the same.

Thank you for the example. In that example, it appears the Master Page's On_Load event is hooking up the content page's controls:
Label Label1 = (Label)ContentPlaceHolder1.FindControl("Label1");
What if the ContentPage doesn't have a Label1 control? This seems like bad architecture to me. I would assume the Content Page should load it's own content because each Content Page will have different controls.
Later in the example, I see the Content Page's On_Load event is hooking up it's contents to the AjaxManager on the Master Page. This is how I expect it would work - however, I am confused because it's happening in both Master and Content pages. Does this example show two separate ways to accomplish the same thing, or are both methods required?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Mike,
First to your questions: You can make your search textbox update the grid in the content page via ajax by adding the following ajax setting in the content page Page_Load or Page_PreRender event handlers:
More information on adding ajax settings dynamically is available here.
Regarding the samples in the help topic: Indeed, it shows how you can do the same thing in different ways. The first sample illustrates how to implement your scenario in the master page and the second, how to achieve it from the content page. It is your choice where you want to place your code.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely yours,
