I came to know about this topic from another thread.

Please look at the following link. It talks about how to optimize ScriptManager to reduce number of requests and faster download.

http://lancezhang.wordpress.com/2008/11/15/aspnet-ajax-performance/

I tried to implement this but I am not able to move past point 2.

My issue:

When I put ToolkitScriptManager in my master page instead of asp:scriptmanager, I start getting AjaxControlToolkit is not defined javascript errors.

I use ScriptManagerProxy in my web content form. Is there any replacement for that too?

Thank you.

Just a quick check - what version of the toolkit are you using? Make sure it is the latest. Also, are you referencing the specific build number?

thanks,

m

When I see version on my AjaxControlToolkit reference I see 3.0.11119.26730

And Runtime version is v2.0.50727

lol, that should be fine...

How are you referencing that in your pages - are you doing it via web.config or on the pages themselves?

thanks,

Hello. I am having this line in each page that wishes to use ASP.NET AJAX. Is there any better alternative?

Ok. I decided to get latest. So now AjaxControlToolkit version is 3.0.30512.17815

So now asp:ScriptManager itself has <CompositeScript> section.

I also downloaded ScriptReferenceProfiler control from

http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2008/06/12/script-reference-profiler.aspx

This gives me at the end of the page JS files being used.

Now my issue again:

I have MasterPage, Content pages and sometimes UserControls inside them.

When I put my scripts inside CompositeScript section it throws error. Even if I include say AjaxControlToolkit.Common.Common.js along with my CompositeScript it shows up as a seperate reference in the script reference profiler.

"The resource URL cannot be longer than 1024 characters. If using a CompositeScriptReference, reduce the number of ScriptReferences it contains, or combine them into a single static file and set the Path property to the location of it."

 You can register the AjaxControlToolkit in the web.config

<pages>
   <controls>
       <add tagPrefix="ajax" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" assembly="AjaxControlToolkit, Version=3.0.30512.17815"/>
   </controls>
</pages>

As per the error you are getting - you will need to use multiple Proxy Script Manager controls. Here is a good post on that -> http://www.ajaxprojects.com/ajax/tutorialdetails.php?itemid=363

Hope this helps

I tried that link. However, I am not able to figure out what would be the correct order. If I just put them in different proxys it throws errors like

Type is undefined.

AjaxControlToolkit is undefined.

I think even within Ajax toolkit scripts some need to be downloaded before others. Here is my sequence in content page:
