I've been attempting to work through this UpdatePanel mini-book lately and every time i sit down to pour out a few pages or sample apps, something crazy happens. Lately I've been struggling with the site and DNN updates. After much uploading, backup restorations and constant groaning, I finally have an updated app.

 You may have noticed the google ads at the top. I certainly did. Mostly because I'm the one that put them there. Why you ask? Well....my attempt at raising money for the youth program is going south. I've had it running for a few weeks and I've generated exactly $15. And thanks to the two that have graciously given: Scott V. and Evan H.
The site has been received 2500 unique visitors for the month, so I've made the decision to drop in  the Google Ads and turn over the revenue (if any) to the Youth Hockey Program, in addition to the paypal-based drive. We'll see how it works out.
 
So back to the UpdatePanel doc/mini-book...here's what I'd like to cover:

using multiple updatePanels on one page
updatePanel UpdateMode - when and why
using client side events with the asynchronous update process
issues and considerations with the Ajax UpdatePanel

now I'd like to say that I'll have this out soon..but i can't quite commit to that, with holidays approaching and Mikeys hockey schedule ramping up.

In other news: My Xbox 360 is on its way home! The support page changed status today and they've conveniently provided a tracking number so that I can monitor the machines journey home. According to UPS, its due back on the 20th. Just in time for Thanksgiving break. I can finally get into Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect!
