title: Is it possible to update controls outside an UpdatePanel?
body: <p>In ASP.net-AJAX, can the AJAX postback of an UpdatePanel only update controls inside UpdatePanels or is it possible to update controls that aren't inside UpdatePanels?  If so, how?</p>
  
  <p>Just trying to understand ASP.net-AJAX better, not trying to solve a specific problem.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong><br />
  I mean update from the server-side code, without using Javascript or any additional libraries.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
