Ajax with multiple panels

Question

User899592849 posted

 Hello:

For example: I have a Students.aspx page using Ajax with 3 different panels like below and each panel contains different code. I have a main page that have links to Students.aspx page and I have set the property Visible=True to panel 1. My question is How do I make so that when clicked on Student 1 from the Main.aspx, it will call panel1 and when clicked on Student 2 from the Main.aspx, it will call panel2...etc...Thank you.

Students.aspx

<ajax:Update Panel ID="studentUpdatePanel" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">  

<ContentTemplate>

      <asp:Panel ID="panel1" runat="server" Visible="true">Code for student 1</asp:panel>    

     <asp:Panel ID="panel2" runat="server" Visible="false">Code for student 2</asp:panel>    

     <asp:Panel ID="panel3" runat="server" Visible="false">Code for student 3</asp:panel>

 </ContentTemplate>

</ajax:UpdatePanel>

--------------------------------------------------------------

Main.aspx

<a href="Students.aspx">Student 1</a>

<a href="Students.aspx">Student 2</a>

<a href="Students.aspx">Student 3</a>

I think you can simply use query string.

<a href="Students.aspx?Id=1">Student 1</a>
<a href="Students.aspxId=2">Student 2</a>
<a href="Students.aspxId=3">Student 3</a>

Set all panels to visible false. on the code behind of Student.aspx, inside the page load event

if (Request.QueryString["id"] != null) {

  string id=Request.QueryString["id"];

  if (id=="1")
  {
    panel1.visible=true;
  }
  else if (id=="2")
  {
     panel2.visible=true;
  }
  else if(id=="3")
  {
    panel3.visible=true;
   }


}

Hi sn002,
  As per our case, You can find the panel1,panel2,panel3 Ids through view source in browser.
Then you can try like below :
<a href="Students.aspx#ViewSourcePanelId1">Student 1</a>

<a href="Students.aspx#ViewSourcePanelId2">Student 2</a>

<a href="Students.aspx#ViewSourcePanelId3">Student 3</a>
