Can ASP.NET AJAX partial rendering work inside a SharePoint 2007 application page? *

Question

I have a simple page with my ScriptManager and my UpdatePanel, and my ContentTemplate has one ListBox and one Label. I am just trying to catch its OnSelectionChanged so I can update the text in the Label. No matter what settings I try to tweak, I always get a full-page postback.

Is this really not going to work, or am I just screwing this up?

Answer

You need to have Sharepoint 2007 service pack 1 -- or else there's no chance. (Sharepoint 2007 predates ajax 1.0 -- they built some support into service pack 1)

Next, from a trouble shooting point of view, test that the exact same code functions as expected when hosted in a regular asp.net page. (Literally copy and paste your code across into a fresh page, to rule out any typographical errors). Ruling sharepoint in or out of the problem area will help narrow down the solution space.
