How to make UpdatePanel ignore clicking one button which is inside it?

Buttons inside UpdatePanels are automatically registered as triggers for that UpdatePanel. Is there a way to make the UpdatePanel ignore one of it's inside buttons? That is, to make it so that clicking this button does NOT trigger any sort of postback?

You can set UpdateMode='Conditional' then set the which buttons you want to trigger a post-back in the <Triggers> tag. Something like this:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
    <Triggers>
        <asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="button1" />
    </Triggers>
    <ContentTemplate>
        ...
        <asp:Button ID="button1" runat="server" Text="Click Me" />
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

That depends on the use for that button. If the button is to call a codebehind method, then a postback is unavoidable as far as I know.

If you'd like your button to only perform a clientside action, then a plain <input type='button'> would do better than a <asp:button>.
