Question

Dear All,

I am having a web application, in a page I want to do achieve the below functionality:

In a grid list of options will be displayed, when the user selects and click on a button some process has to be done in back end in the same page but even though the user clicks on any grid paging or sorting any thing in the page the process triggered should not be stopped.

Can we achieve this? If so how it can be?

Kindly help me in this regard.

Thanks a lot in advance.
