Master Page problem

[Code Monkey]

Is it possible to update a section on a masterpage from a method on a
content page?

Ie; suppose I've got an area on a masterpage which is essentially a
shopping cart which is displayed on everypage (assuming it has items in
it). On an order summary page, I adjust the quantity of certain items.
How would I update the shopping cart contents (price, # of items) which
is located in the masterpage, without reloading the entire page?

To meet your requirement of "not reloading the page" you should learn how to
use Atlas [1].
To reference the controls in the MasterPage from a content page we can use
public properties for the controls we want to reference of the FindControl
method.
