I'm not using any events to populate the controls. I'm using business objects and binding the controls to the objects.
Do I need to manually bind these controls at runtime?
No. It should work fine. Not sure what's happening in your case. Again, without the code, I really can't speculate on what's going on.
Fair enough. Here is the code for the panel. Remember - no server side code is being used here.
<atlas:UpdatePanelID="p1"runat="server"EnableViewState="true"><ContentTemplate><divid="addhours"><aname="content_start"id="content_start"></a><fieldset><h2class="none">
Log your hours
</h2><legend>Log your hours</legend><asp:LabelID="lblWeekEnding"runat="server"Text="Week Ending:"></asp:Label>Day
<asp:TextBoxID="WeekEnding2"runat="server"Columns="12"ValidationGroup="newEntry"></asp:TextBox><ahref="javascript:OpenPopupPage('Calendar.aspx','<%= WeekEnding2.ClientID %>','<%= Page.IsPostBack %>');"><imgsrc="images/icon-calendar.gif"border="0"align="absBottom"width="24"height="16"></a><asp:CompareValidatorid="CompletionDateCompareValidator"runat="server"Display="Dynamic"ErrorMessage="Date format is incorrect."ControlToValidate="WeekEnding2"Operator="DataTypeCheck"Type="Date"></asp:CompareValidator>Project

Here is the issue...
When an error is thrown on the the page, the dropdowns break. There was a compare validator that was choking. As soon as I removed it - problem solved.
Also - it seemed to not like the query string variable for the object datasource. I changed it to a session variable, and it worked fine.
Good to know. I guess it's rather tricky finding out the differences between a traditional postback versus the new client-callback used by AJAX/Atlas.
