In 4.0, you don't need to subclass ScriptManager to do that sort of thing. I t's handled natively.

Nothing new on this thread in a while. Has anything changed? Is it possible now to subclass ScriptManager without loosing intellisense?

@CaitNY: I'll look at that forum post. If you're using CompositeScript, you should be able to modify the source code so that the new reference is added to the composite list instead. The source code isn't that complex, that should be relatively easy to do. Let me know how that goes.

This is great by the way, but it doesn't add the js file specified by FrameworkPath into the CompositeScripts...?

This is a little off topic, but since you mentioned that the script manager removes duplicates...

For some reason removing duplicates doesn't work with script combining. I posted on the forum but no one could help.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the answer Bertrand, I hope Visual Studio will support intellisense for ScriptControl's without having to additionally reference them with ScriptManager in the future.

@fluxtah: yes, it should check if there is a script manager on the page and register it with it if there is one. There are lots of benefits in doing so. For example, your users will be able to relocate the script and combine it. But that won't be enough to give IntelliSense, the user will have to put the reference explicitly in ScriptManager in order to get IntelliSense in the page.

Visual Studio special-cases ScriptManager and queries a special API when it's there to get the list of script references. One thing you might be able to do is derive from ScriptManager and expose your script as a static script reference, as if it had been added by the user.

Does anybody know how ScriptManager gets intellisense working for MicrosoftAjax.js?

I have a control called SnippetManager that simply registers a javascript file and nothing much else, I wanted to make it easy for someone to include the script by drag drop just like ScriptManager but it does not exhibit the intellisense enabling magic.

I might have to just stick 'register SnippetManager.js with ScriptManager' in the instructions and forget wrapping it up in a control.

Good point Richard.

Thanks

@Rick: I think you're asking a different question here, probably a more general one. If you want, we can start an e-mail discussion with Phil about that?
