I would advise you to use RadAjaxManager .
It is much more flexible than RadAjaxPanel . The idea is that you define "trigger control" and the controls that are affected.
I'm not sure what causes your "partial postback force", but if I assume it is a button, you can script as follows:
function FireButton(){ $find("<%=RadAjaxManager1.ClientID %>").ajaxRequest("IDofTheButton"); }
And in the ajax manager settings, you add a button as a trigger, as well as the controls you want to update as “affected controls”.
