Atlas Updte Panel with Wizard Control
The New ASP.net wizard control is a nice work of art the dotnet team knew exactly what a devloper need
The update panel is also a very good control it works just out of the box with the wizard there's no need to add triggers to the update panel triggers section or anything
This has lead me to the assumption that this is going to be a joy ride, but ofcourse i was wrong
I added my controls to the wizard steps and the work just fine the problem faced me when i started adding the standard asp.net validator controls it stopped moving next
It seems that the update panel calls the validation routine with every call so if u don't have a validation control in the next step javascript breaks and u can't do the next server call
Possible workaround add a textbox with a CSS invisible attribut like style="display:none;"
and add custom validator to that textbox for every step that doesn't have validation
