Updating TabPanel contents asynchronously

[Wazzamatazz]

Hi folks,

I've been trying to work out how to asynchronously update the contents
of a TabPanel using an UpdatePanel and I can't for the life of me get
it to work. I've seen a couple of examples online that declare an
UpdatePanel inside a TabPanel, but I get an error when I try and do
something like the following:

<ajax:TabContai ner runat="server" ID="TabList" ActiveTabIndex= "0">
<ajax:TabPane l ID="ContentTab1 " HeaderText="Tab 1">
<ContentTemplat e>
<asp:UpdatePane l runat="server" ID="AsyncConten t1"
UpdateMode="Con ditional">
<ContentTemplat e>
<!-- Some content here -->
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="UpdateButto n"
OnClick="Update Button_Click" Text="Update" />
</ContentTemplate >
</asp:UpdatePanel >
</ContentTemplate >
</ajax:TabPanel>
</ajax:TabContain er>

The error I get is, "TabContain er cannot have children of type
'System.Web.UI. UpdatePanel'.". Looking at the code for the
TabContainer class, I can see that the AddParsedSubObj ect method
throws an HttpException if the control being parsed is not a TabPanel
or a LiteralControl. Am I missing something crucial here, or is it
simply not possible to asynchronously update the contents of a
TabPanel and the examples I have seen are in fact completely wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me!

Hmmm. I've just noticed that it was because I forgot to put
runat="server" in my TabPanel. Oops!
