AJAX :: Whats The Difference In ScriptManager And ToolkitScriptManager
Apr 28, 2010
I am running VS2010 with the latest AJAX toolkit installed.I dont know when I use Ajax controls if I am supposed to drop a ScriptManager or a ToolkitScriptManager on my .aspx page.
I have a form which I am using the RoundedCornersExtender, If I am using the ScriptManager control I am getting the following error-Error: AjaxControlToolkit requires ASP.NET Ajax 4.0 scripts. Ensure the correct version of the scripts are referenced. If you are using an ASP.NET ScriptManager, switch to the ToolkitScriptManager in AjaxControlToolkit.dll.I googled it and found that one way to overcome this is to use the ToolkitScripyManager, I replaced the ScriptManager with the ToolkitScriptManager and I dont get the above error anymore. On this same form I am using an UpdatePanel control but from some reason I am not getting a partial render but always a full page render.
I just downloaded the latest (3.5.40412.0) version of Ajax Control Toolkit and in order to update the existing version, I have replaced <asp:ScriptManager with <ajaxtoolkit:ToolkitScriptManager. The page loads with an javascript error:
Error: $get("id of ToolkitScriptManager_hiddenfield") is null Source File: https://localtest.dk/layouts/site.aspx?_tsm_hiddenfield_=sitesscriptmanager_hiddenfield&_tsm_combinedscripts_=%3b%3bajaxcontroltoolkit%2c+version%3d3.5.40412.0%2c+culture%3dneutral%2c+publickeytoken%3d28f01b0e84b6d53e%3aen-us%3a1547e793-5b7e-48fe-8490-03a375b13a33%3a475a4ef5%3aeffe2a26%3a1d3ed089%3a5546a2b%3a497ef277%3aa43b07eb%3a751cdd15%3adfad98a5%3a3cf12cf1%3ad2e10b12%3af3d989c9 Line: 48
Now i have added modal popup. Used ajax 15.1 toolkit. they said it doesnt require ajax script manager now.)
When i use it without ajaxscript manager it doesnt work. But when i use ajaxscript manager it works. But then i cant use scriptmanager (as two instance cant run).If i dont use script manager update panel wont work. Also i dont dont have any master page.
using the ajaxControlToolkit requires the ToolkitScriptManager, but then i get the message: "only one scriptmanager..." the problem is, i cant find any other scriptmanager in the whole solution, so it should be somewhere in the parent pages. how can i find/get/replace this scriptmanager-object?
I am hoping I am in the right place for this, I have a web application which has been running for about 4 years recently I updated my Ajax to the most recent version it continued to work OK then I changed from ScriptManager to ToolkitScriptManager now I get an error moving from my default page
I use scriptmanager instead of toolscript manager and don't seem to have problems. But I have noticed that the recommendation is to use toolscriptmanager. Is there any difference now?
I'm writing a custom class library that contains custom controls (not user controls).I have some embedded javascript files that need to be registered on the page.Now since this is a class library, how do I detect whether or not to use a ToolKitScriptManager or ScriptManager?Page.ClientScript is a ClientScriptManager, but would I do if the page has the new ToolKitScriptManager?
I have a feeling that Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") and User.Identity.Name return the same string while using FormsAuthentication.So my question is as simple as that. Which one should i better use?
I work on our intranet, which is continuously being updated with new features or fixed bugs. Bugs and features are added to JIRA and then assigned to myself so that I can take care of those. Now I would like to add a new feature to the intranet, which shows the following information:
Current SVN version. Current list of bug/fixes changes
What is the best way to achive both without hard-coding it into the website?
I am using ASP.NET.
I hope I explained everything.
Update 1:
I found the following link to solve #2: http://www.fatlemon.co.uk/2008/12/automatic-svn-revision-numbering-in-asp-net-mvc/
I have a user control with both an UpdatePanel and a ScriptManager.
Some pages in the system have a ScriptManager of their own, and need to include the UserControl.
This throws the "You can only have 1 ScriptManager" exception.
If I remove UserControl's ScriptManager, I'll get 'UpdatePanel1 requires a Script Manager" exception.
I've tried to modify the UserControl to dynamically include it's own script manager if none exists. But all the methods I've used before involve adding a delegate to Page.OnInit-- which won't work, since the UserControl Init fires first.
Because the system designers here like making my life difficult, I can't create a MasterPage, or a BasePage for the system in inherit off of. I'd be stuck going to each page an adding a ScriptManager before the UserControl on each of them. Is there any way of, in the UserControl, detecting if the page has a ScriptManager, and if not, adding it dynamically in a way that makes the UpdatePanel happy?
Back in the "old days" one would use the <asp:ScriptManager></asp:ScriptManager> and <asp:ServiceReferenc /> to allow for WCF Service integration into javascript on web forms. Example:
We have a website which uses a lot of AJAX, specifically update panels, modal popup extenders and a few other extenders. Let me give you a really brief overview of the application structure. We have a master page which hosts the ToolkitScriptManager object and then all the other pages in the site are children of this master page. We have specified the CombineScripts property to True and we have also specified the CombineScriptsHandlerUrl property to point to the handler that comes with the sample AJAX website. We have set the enableCompression and enableCaching properties to True in the web.config file.
We are trying to determine application performance on this site and we have found out that on each page request, the CPU utilization goes up to a 50% which is really very strange (as this is only for 1 user). When we change the CombinScripts property to false, the CPU utilization comes down to 3-4% for each request. The problem which we cannot understand is why is the server not able to cache the combined scripts and why does it try to combine the scripts on each request which is taking the utilization to a very high percentage. I have read a lot on the internet that if we use a handler for combining scripts, it will cache the combine scripts on the server and it will be served from the cache but clearly in our case it does not seem to be working.
We have also tried to use ScriptManager instead and include all the script references (using the ScriptReferenceProfiler) we could in the CompositeScript tag but that does the same thing to CPU as the CombineScripts.
I need to $create Ajax Control Toolkit extenders (i.e. DropDown Extender) manually in JavaScript. To do so, the appropriate ACT scripts need to be loaded (i.e. DropDown.DropDownBehavior.js) manually since they are not declared in the page.
Prior to 3.5, I was loading these using the ScriptManager
[Code]....
My manually added DropDownBehavior.js script is loaded **before** the combined script containing all the ACT base classes resulting in a Value cannot be undefined. Parameter name: baseType
error in JavaScript. If I manually load the base types before DropDown.DropDownBehavior.js, I get Sys.InvalidOperationException:
Type Sys.Extended.UI.BehaviorBase has already been registered.
Is there some way to add these scripts either after the `_TSM_CombinedScripts_` or append to the end of it?
this is my first post in this forum, even though I often search for helps and clarifications over its threads. And many times they are definitely useful!!I had a <asp:ScriptManager> in may MasterPage, wich was used to manage various UpdatePanels I have either in Content pages or in MasterPage.Today I inserted a CalendarExtender, so I had to replace the ScriptManeger with the AJAX ToolkitScriptManager.
At the beginning it seemed to work fine (the calendar pop up and others controls got updated properly). Then I noticed that the nodes in various TreeView are not expanding any more. The TreeViews objects are placed inside an UpdatePanel, in order to expand each node without refreshing the whole content page. And, while a node expands, an UpdatePanel containing a GridView in the content page gets updated.Now, with the new ScriptManager they do not expand, but when clicking on a single node the GridView is updated properly.Here some pieces of code:
[Code]....
Controls registered as triggers.I know I can use only one script manager per page,
This week I migrate a web application to the ajaxtoolkit (.net 3.5) we changed the ScriptManager to ToolkitScriptManager, and now the references to javascript ResourceUICultures don't work. We enabledEnableScriptLocalization.
We have a DNN site and we use the AJAX Toolkit. We upgraded from AJAX 30930 to 40412. We changed the script manager to a ToolkitScriptManager. I have a image button that posts back and calls a modal popup.show() method. When I click the button I get a javscript error before the post back:
Error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: This version of MicrosoftAJAX does not offer the ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock method.
I've got a dynamic data application that I would like to use several Ajax Controls on (I.E. combo box with auto complete instead of dropdown for foreign key edit fields). I'm running into problems when I try to edit tables. I replaced the regular script manager with the one defined in the AJAX tool kit on the master page (Site.master). The combobox displays, and the table gets updated when you click update/insert, BUT, when the site tries to redirect back to the list view it barfs up a funny URL that the browser can't resolve. EX: www.example.com/TABLENAME/%2fTABLENAME%2fList.aspx when it should be www.example.com/TABLENAME/List.aspx. It works fine with the standard scriptmanager, but the ToolKit's manager doesn't. I'm using Visual Web Developer 2010 express, language is VB, DynamicData application uses LINQ to SQL.
In below link http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/act_faq.ashx it has been mentioned that "Also, the ToolkitScriptManager performs automatic script combining on the server."
I'm using the ToolkitScriptManager on a page so that I can use the update panel. Everytime I refresh the page the mem usage in task manager jumps up 3-4megs. I'm using IE7 and have removed all inline JS and JS files to no avail.
I have a website that's developed in ASP.NET and uses the AJAX Toolkit (asp:ToolkitScriptManager) for a couple of extenders. The AJAX effects (e.g. ) work perfectly across IE 7, IE8, FF3.5, Safari, and Chrome. However, I embedded my site in a desktop Flex-AdobeAir application using the component which is able to run the entire site including javascript except where the AJAX is used.
I narrowed the source of the problem down to the difference between using asp:ToolkitScriptManager and asp:ScriptManager. Here's an example page that will display "Safari" in the embedded flex browser as the result of document.write(Sys.Browser.name):
