Alright, I've found a few posts on how to trigger a RadWindow (such as RadAlert, etc) from a server-side postback, but NONE work when the control generating the postback is 'ajaxified'. This is a huge letdown, since I had wanted to use radwindows for displaying exceptions,etc to the user.
Here are some of the notable posts I've found:
this, and this
A year ago I was using the Ajax Toolkit, and relied on the "Modal Popup" for this same thing. It worked wonderfully. I could create a popup with a label, and set the label text on exception and call 'myPopup.visible=true;' and guarantee that it would show up for the user regardless of whether or not the postback control was ajaxified. Is it possible to replicate this functionality with the radwindow stuff?

Hi Clayton,
You can use RadWindow's VisibleOnPageLoad property to show/hide RadWindows via AJAX/Postback. Keep in mind that if show RadWindow via AJAX you should update RadWindowManager(e.g. add RadWindowManager in UpdatePanel)
The radAlert can be shown only via the RadWindowManager's radalert client-side method. If you want to show a radalert after AJAX you should use ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript to run a script, which will open a radAlert once the AJAX call is finished.
The code below illustrates several ways of creating RadWindows/radAlerts - please choose the one which is most suitable for your needs.
