How do i load a page inside a UpdatePanel?

Thanks!

How do you mean load a page inside an update panel? An update panel is
contained on a page, with controls as the contents. So, you're running
within a page already and wouldn't really load another page within it. Can
you elaborate more on what you're trying to do and maybe someone here will
have a better suggestion on how to accompish it?

There is a way to do this but it takes some coding.

First use UserControls rather than pages. A usercontrol is generally a page
without the [at] page directive which is replaced with a [at] Control directive.

You can test all the UserControls as pages until they work if you want and
then replace the [at] page with [at] control and all should be good.

Now when you know the type of page/control you need in the content area
simply load the control and use it as if if were a page. Now in reality
this approach does not need to use master pages. You simply define a page
(which is your master) and a placeholder to hold the usercontrol (like a
content holder).

You have to remember to load the control in the page_init phase of the
lifecyle. You can keep the type of control in session.
