Exception Handling

Code within my Update Pannel is throwing an exception. This is by design. Lets assume that I trap the exception within a catch statement. Is there any way that I can display a message to a user via a Label control that is outside of my Update Pannel? Maybe this is not specific to exception handling... What if I need to update a control / display item that falls outside of my Update Pannel? Is there any way to cancel the partial update? Even force a full postback of the page?

Thanks,
