I have also had a weird experience were tabs do not display using SM, but do display using TSM after upgrading from 1.0.6 to 3.5.

AFAIK, ToolkitScriptManager control was superseded by CompositeScript property of ScriptManager in .Net 3.5/4.: see http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/Combining%20Client%20Scripts%20into%20a%20Composite%20Script.ashx

While the ToolkitScriptManager control will combine the .axd files with JavaScript, it won't combine the .axd files with CSS. You need to use the CombineAndMinify package to combine and minify those files. It is at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/CombineAndMinify.aspx

Hello

From my practice I experienced a situation when using TSM increased page load performance. There was a single hint - set

LoadScriptsBeforeUI = false

Hello, I am modifying a web application that also uses ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager; specifically, I need to make some WebService methods (defined in separate .asmx files) accessible through javascript from the client.

This, simply put, doesn't work; but if I replace the ToolkitScriptManager with the standard asp:ScriptManager, it works again.

So it would seem that the ToolkitScriptManager has the significant drawback of preventing association of WebServices to client script by normal means; can anyone confirm that? I could not find any documentation of this anywhere on the net.

Hi All,

Hi All,

I got solution for the above issue. I was trying to set focus using the code

this.ScriptManager1.SetFocus(myControlName.ClientID);

and I wrote this code in my SelectedIndexChanged Event Function. That time this code didn't work.

Now I changed this code to Page Load Function i.e.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
this.ScriptManager1.SetFocus(myControlName.ClientID);
}
else
{
this.ScriptManager1.SetFocus(GetPostBackControl(this.Page).ClientID);
}
}

Here I am using a function GetPostBackControl() to identify the current postbacking control and I am setting focus to the same control. If you want to move focus to any other control, just use a Switch Statment.

public static System.Web.UI.Control GetPostBackControl(System.Web.UI.Page page)
{
Control control = null;
string ctrlname = page.Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"];
if (ctrlname != null && ctrlname != String.Empty)
{
control = page.FindControl(ctrlname);
}
// if __EVENTTARGET is null, the control is a button type and we need to
// iterate over the form collection to find it
else
{
string ctrlStr = String.Empty;
Control c = null;
foreach (string ctl in page.Request.Form)
{
// handle ImageButton controls ...
if (ctl.EndsWith(".x") || ctl.EndsWith(".y"))
{
ctrlStr = ctl.Substring(0, ctl.Length - 2);
c = page.FindControl(ctrlStr);
}
else
{
c = page.FindControl(ctl);
}
if (c is System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button ||
c is System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton)
{
control = c;
break;
}
}
}
return control;
}

Thank you,

Hi All,

I need one help from you. I am trying to set focus todifferent controls after my different PostBack events, butthis.ScriptManager1.SetFocus(myControlName.ClientID); is not working.

In my ASPX page I have RAD CONTROLS (RadComboBox and RadCalendar) and alsoI am using AjaxControlToolkit Controls (ToolkitScriptManager andModalPopupExtender) also.

In my page, RadComboBox is inUpdatePanel - ContentTemplate area and on its SelectedIndexChangedfunction I am trying to set focus to another Control using the abovecode:

this.ScriptManager1.SetFocus(myControlName.ClientID);

but this is not working... Do anyone know any solution for this?

Can I use ToolkitScriptManager for set focus?

Thanks...
