ASCX: The control requires a ScriptManager on the page.

[Jon (I.T. Agility Inc.)]

so far - completely unable to get telerik Q2 2009 to work in MVC projects using any sort of encapsulation with ascx files.

Trying to use a combo box inside a ascx that is rendered with Html.RenderPartial.

Is this possible?  Or do all the rad controls have to go in the aspx views?

Hi CharmingSoft,

I suggest you check our MvcForums demo. It shows how to use RadControls in partial views (user controls).
You can download the source code from here.

Thanks Albert.  So a ScriptManager is required inside every partial view.  Is this going to be inefficient? 

Thanks.

Hi Jon,

There are no known performance issues with that approach.

Thanks Albert.

One last question, I noticed the Skin rendering fails for controls inside partial views - is there a solution for this?

Hello,

You can either manually include the skins CSS files or add a RadStyleSheetManager control in your partial views.

Hello,

I am having some problems with a RadDatePicker control in a partial view (ascx).

I get a javascript error (Expected :) in the line that begins with:

Sys.Application.add_init(function(){$create(Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker, {"_PopupButtonSettings":.....

In the ascx I have:

    <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager runat="server" ID="RadStyleSheetManager1">

<StyleSheets>

<telerik:StyleSheetReference Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Name="Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Editor.css" />

<telerik:StyleSheetReference Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Name="Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Forest.Editor.Forest.css" />

</StyleSheets>

    </telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

<telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="RadScriptManager1" EnableScriptCombine="true">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

...

..

<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" Width="161px" ID="birthDayPicker" MinDate="1920-01-01" >

<Calendar UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" ViewSelectorText="x"></Calendar>

<DatePopupButton ImageUrl="" HoverImageUrl=""></DatePopupButton>

</telerik:RadDatePicker>

In the web.config I have:

<httpHandlers>

      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false" />

...

    <handlers>

      <add name="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI" preCondition="integratedMode" />

Thanks a lot for your help
