Reader Level: 
The UpdatePanel class, available in Atlas, enables partial page updates. That means that you can specify the portion of the page that needs updating, based on some event being fired. For example, let's say you have a paged GridView along with all sorts of text, graphics, and nav links on your page. When the user clicks one of the GridView's page links the page posts back to get the data. The ideal situation would be for the GridView to be updated but everything else on the page to stay exactly the same and not be repainted or flicker or change in the least. The Atlas UpdatePanel control provides this functionality. And, it's remarkably easy to use, too.
