Solution 1:

You'll need ajax for this, one way or another. Either use ASP.NET's built-in 'page methods', or whip up something yourself; your best bet is to use something like jQuery to make the javascript part less painful for you.

Solution 2:

You can achieve that through and Ajax request. Since you're using asp.net here is a good starting point for some great JavaScript Ajax libraries for it.

Here's also a simple example of how to make a simple Ajax request.

function sampleAjaxReq(){
 var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
 xmlhttp.open("POST","resource.asp",true);
 xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
 xmlhttp.send("pname1=value1Henry&pname2=value2");
}

Solution 3:

If you are working on a non-Ajax project, you can try System.Web.UI.ICallbackEventHandler.
