Updatepanel with gridview inside doesn't fire events

Question

i've a usercontrol with a gridview inside an updatepanel.

I've tried to trigger all the grid events because the master page should never post backed when i'm working on the gridview, but it doesn't work. The master page is always post backed!

What i can do?

This is myuser control asp.net code:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upFeatureCustomer" runat="server" ChildrenAsTriggers="true" >
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:GridView ID="gvFeatureCustomer" runat="server" DataKeyNames="Id"  
        AutoGenerateColumns="False" ClientIDRowSuffix="Id" 
    OnRowDataBound="dtgdResult_RowDataBound" ClientIDMode="Static" 
        ShowHeader="false">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Nome" FooterText="Nome" SortExpression="Name">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlName" ClientIDMode="Predictable" runat="server" DataValueField="id" DataTextField="Name">
                </asp:DropDownList>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Valore" FooterText="Valore" SortExpression="Value">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox id="txtValue" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" CssClass="auto-feature" OnTextChanged="txtValue_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete" FooterText="Delete" Visible="true" HeaderStyle-Width="25"
                ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:HyperLink ID="Delete" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Id", "javascript:openDeleteDialog(\"{0}\");")%>'
                        ImageUrl="~/images/delete2.png" ToolTip="Delete">
                    </asp:HyperLink>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="gvFeatureCustomer" EventName="DataBinding" />

</Triggers>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

ScriptManager is located inside the masterpage. Thank you.

@rickschott I need to block the page post back when i'm working on the gridview. If i try triggering the button click event (for example) it's work, but with the gridview event doesn't. Any idea? — MassiCiaoCiao
@JBrooks How can i put the updatepanel inside the content tamplate if the contet template is an updatepanel section? — MassiCiaoCiao
Content template is a child of updatepanel. You can't take Jbrooks' advice. I think he mistook it for the ContentPlaceHolder element, which I just realized I did too. My answer below may no longer be relevant :( — Ross Brasseaux

I've found out the solution. I've registered the asyncpostbackcontrol event at the page using the scriptmanager and it's work now!

The code is like this:

ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).RegisterAsyncPostBackControl(tbValue);

Thank you for helping me!
