PageRequestManagerParserErrorException exporting grid

Had code to export grid but was receiving the error PageRequestManagerParserErrorException.
This appears to be due to the Export button being on a Ajax UpdatePanel and the ScriptManager having PartialUpdates set to false.
There doesn't currently appear to be any work around to fix this other than the button being removed from the UpdatePanel.

When using a gridview the RowUpdating event arguments has a property (e.)NewValues.
There is a problem if the GridView datasource is not set to s DataSourceObject, these NewValues remain blank.
To populate use the following code:

GridView gv = (GridView)sender;
for (int i = 0; i < gridView.Columns.Count; i++)
{
DataControlFieldCell cell = gv.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[i] as DataControlFieldCell;
gv.Columns[i].ExtractValuesFromCell(e.NewValues, cell, DataControlRowState.Edit, true);
}
