I would suggest you start by removing the UpdatePanels at first, and make sure your control orgy is working correctly with postbacks. Once you have that working, try adding the UpdatePanels back in from the bottom up.
If you set the UpdateMode property to Conditional (default is Always) on both UpdatePanels it should stop the outer UpdatePanel triggering when only the usercontrols updatepanel should have refreshed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
