I have two updatepanel and a progressbar on the page. If I set the AssociatedUpdatePanelID, then progressbar is not working, without setting AssociatedUpdatePanelID progress bar is working but the problem is working for both updatepanel. But I need to work on one updatepanel.

 <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
    <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button2" OnClick="Button2_Click" />
    <asp:UpdateProgress runat="server" ID="prg" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="upnl">
        <ProgressTemplate>
            <img src="Images/progressbar.gif" />
        </ProgressTemplate>
    </asp:UpdateProgress>
    <br />
    <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="upnl" UpdateMode="Conditional">
        <ContentTemplate>
        </ContentTemplate>
        <Triggers>
            <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" EventName="Click" />
        </Triggers>
    </asp:UpdatePanel>
    <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="upnl1" UpdateMode="Conditional">
        <ContentTemplate>
        </ContentTemplate>
        <Triggers>
            <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Button2" EventName="Click" />
        </Triggers>
    </asp:UpdatePanel>

Code Behind - C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
}
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
}

Excellant Article: Explaining every thing in very simple manner..........

By Design External triggers for an UpdatePanel do not fire an associated UpdateProgress, since the implementation of enabling the UpdateProgress control searches the control hierarchy for the calling control; an external trigger will not be present in the control hierarchy.
