The following code - straight out of the MSDN help - uses ASP.NET 2.0's
Client Callback features, and yet, ALWAYS postback to the page.
Why? I expected no postbacks to occur.

public void RaiseCallbackEvent(String eventArgument)
{
cbCount = Convert.ToInt32(eventArgument) + 1;
}
// Define method that returns callback result.
public string GetCallbackResult()
{
return cbCount.ToString();
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

// Define a StringBuilder to hold messages to output.

sb.Append("A page postback has occurred.");
Response.Write("KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK");
}

MyLabel.Text = sb.ToString();
// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
// Define one of the callback script's context.

context1.Append("function ReceiveServerData1(arg, context)");
context1.Append("{");
context1.Append("Message1.innerText = arg;");
context1.Append("value1 = arg;");
context1.Append("}");
// Define callback references.
String cbReference1 = cs.GetCallbackEventReference(this, "arg",
"ReceiveServerData1", context1.ToString());
String cbReference2 = cs.GetCallbackEventReference("'" +
