You have to maintain the position during partial postback. For that we need to use Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager Class . It has two eevents beginRequest and endRequest . During those event you have to trap the dragged position and then set the position again.
Here, I have done a similar application with gridview, for maintaining scroll position during partial postback.
Maintain GridView Scroll Position and Header Inside Update Panel[^]

Hope this will help you :-D
