currently I have a UpdatePanel for jQuery Dialog use, which contains a GridView.
And that GridView contains a FileUpload control in footer and EmptyDataTemplate
Try registering the post back control from code behind like this:
protected void grdExpense_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { LinkButton btnAdd = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[0].FindControl("btnAdd"); if (btnAdd != null) { ScriptManager1.RegisterAsyncPostBackControl(btnAdd); } }
