Element 'UpdatePanel' is not a known element

I have one master page in project. I added scripmanager in that page. In one aspx page I added only update panel control because script manager is in master page.I open both file of master page and save. Still I am getting an error Element 'UpdatePanel' is not a known element.

Having the same problem, here is how I solved it:

With your ScriptManager, add it before your UpdatePanel, but close it's tag instead of putting the UpdatePanel and ContentTemplate inside of it.

<asp:ScriptManager ID="nonflashymanager" runat="server"/>
<asp:UpdatePanel id="nonflashyform" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
    </ContentTemplate>
</UpdatePanel>

Had the same problem when I changed from an older .Net to a later .Net 4 framework. Also changed to XHTML5. In XHTML5 the is not allowed which was used, which affected parsing, which caused the error/warning. Once I replaced with then it stopped the warnings.

<%@ Register Tagprefix="asp" Namespace="System.Web.UI" Assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %>

I was getting this error in VS 2015 due to reference to 3.5 in System.Web.Extensions page directive. Make sure it's 4.0

This is one way to resolve the 'Element 'UpdatePanel' is not a known element' error if you're using VS2008 or targetting earlier frameworks.

You need to explicitly include the following controls/namespaces in your web.config's pages section, contained within system.web.

<pages>
  <controls>
    <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
    <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
  </controls>
</pages>

Put the following code in your web config. Just change assembly according to your Ajaxtoolkit

<pages>
  <controls>
    <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <add namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="ajaxToolkit"/>
  </controls>
</pages>

I had similar issue and I figured that if we have UpdatePanel under "div" or "span" or even "asp:Content" the VS intellisense doesn't complain. Its strange though.

Found this here

Basically quit VS2010, delete the content of your 'Reflected Schema Cache', which should be in something like this:

C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ReflectedSchemas

Restart VS and you should have fixed it.

I was experiencing the same problem and also tried to drag and drop from the toolbox to no avail. I finally was able to solve it by adding the targetFramework="4.0" attribute to my compilation tag in my web.config file.
