Thanks for reply

I think that u can't understand my question

i have a panel set default visible false and a iframe is inside that panel.

inside the iframe i am calling another page contains the details of the users

My datalist displays the list of users in linkbutton

when i click the linkbutton
panel should be visible and the detail should be display in the panel which was out side the Datalist

well in the OnClick event of the LinkButton, set the panels visibility to true like

myPanel.Visible=True;

and if you want to show some specific data like data against some specific user the bind the linkbutton with the user id and on click event initialize the session and show the data against that session like

LinkButton myLinkButton=(LinkButton)sender;
Session["uID"]=myLinkButton.CommandArgument.ToString();

now you have the specific User ID in session
