How do I remove Javascript references from Custom Server Control?

We are overriding the default menu control's Render method to create a simple, fast, small footprint static css menu which is working fine. However the javascript (and css) files that goes with the default control is loaded by scriptresource.axd references. Is there a way to remove these scripts so they are never sent to the client?

Public Class Menu : Inherits System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu

Re: How do I remove Javascript references from Custom Server Control?

The WebControls Menu uses an internal renderer, so you can't even override the OnPreRender method and then remove the registered scripts. I don't think there's anything that you can do, I'm afraid.

Is there not a way, through reflection, to completely dissasemble the control allowing one to copy into a new object (and further edit that portion)?

Hello

I think maybe we can override the OnPreRender by ignoring the base.OnPreRender(e) and write your own logicIf I take you wronglykindly correct me

 public class MyMenu : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu
    {
        public override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
        {
            //Do not use thisbut only to use your own methodbase.OnPreRender(e);
        }
    }

If this still failsI'm afraid you cannot override itWellyou have to inherit from WebControl and do writing manually

No, you are correct. I was so focussed on trying to remove the references that had been added (as per the title of the thread) that I didn't see the obvious solution - don't allow the script to be added in the first place!
