By Design External triggers for an UpdatePanel do not fire an associated UpdateProgress, since the implementation of enabling the UpdateProgress control searches the control hierarchy for the calling control; an external trigger will not be present in the control hierarchy.

Answer 2

AssociatedUpdatePanelID property in the UpdateProgress control will not work if the event that triggered the UpdatePanel is also external.
