I've just created my first dashboard control for the umbraco backend, and I have a few questions:

1) I've got an UpdatePanel in my control, but it doesn't appear to be working - is there some trick to properly handling partial page refreshes?

2) Where do I go to set the default culture on the backend? For instance, I need dates formatted as mm/dd/yy.

3) This one is waymore specific. The fornt-end of the site has a page that allows members to upload files to a directory that is outside of IIS. I'd like to create a backend tool that allows umbraco users to download these files securely. I typically do this with an aspx page, since it involves changing ContentHeaders. Is there a wa to do this in a user control? Also, what part of the API tells me which umbraco user is logged in to the backend?

Thanks!

No takers yet? Would it help if I took away one of the questions? :)

The "en.xml" file located in "umbraco\config\lang" specifies the culture as "en-GB", whereas I need it to be "en-US".

Andrew - not sure if this is what you are talking about or not in regards to the UpdatePanel but here are a couple links:

Thanks, John. Let me be a bit more clear - the update panel works perfectly when I test it outside of umbraco, but the partial page refresh doesn't happen once its integrated into the dashboard.
