ASP.NET master page - reload-flickering problem in IE

Is there a possibility/trick (besides the usage of the AJAX update pan开发者_C百科el) to prevent the ASP.NET master page reload flickering effect in IE) every time the user makes a postback?

Maybe this trick will help you (for IE)

Short answer: No.

Without the UpdatePanel (or some other AJAX magic) the entire page is reloaded from the server every postback. Hence the flicker.
