How to use RadScriptManager

[FAR]

Hi, I have a website with a lot of telerik Controls.

I have a master page with the radScriptManager in it :

    <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager2" runat="server">
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>
    <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

And in my content page i have :

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
    <link href="Css/Global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
     <script type="text/javascript">
      // A lot of functions here
</script>

Is it enough to make it work properly?
Are all the javascript of telerik control already managed by the radscript manager or do i have to declare something else inside?
Will the Javascript of my Content page be managed by default by the radscriptmanager?
If i have Custom Css ON the content page like this

  <style type="text/css">
        .rcbHeader ul,
.rcbFooter ul,
.rcbItem ul, .rcbHovered ul, .rcbDisabled ul
{
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
}
</style>

and also ONE css file (and just one) in the Css Folder.

Does I need to declare the radstylesheetmanager?

Hello FAR,

RadScriptManager can combine only javascript files that are embedded in an assembly. This means that your custom functions will not be included in the combined script but will be rendered separately.
As for the CSS - you need to use RadStyleSheetManager - it combines the css rules embedded in an assembly.

Yeah and how can i include ALL of my CSS in the radstylesheetmanager ?
(by ALL i mean :
_the Css included in the telerik DLL that i can't access
_the Css on my .aspx page beetween the <style></style>
for example :

//my aspx page
<style type="text/css">
        .rcbHeader ul,
.rcbFooter ul,
.rcbItem ul, .rcbHovered ul, .rcbDisabled ul
{
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
}
</style>

// my body

and finally my custom css file
for example : global.css

Question 2) If global.css is included in the radscript manager,and not in an external file for the broswer it's mean the navigator can't "cache" it?

Hi FAR,

RadStyleSheetManager (link) can combine only embedded web resources. Please check the provided link - it shows you how to create a new class library and include your CSS file as an embedded resource. Then you can reference that assembly in the style sheet manager and it will combine it.

I read somewhere in Telerik that RadScriptManager inherits from Microsoft ScriptManager, and you are saying here that RadScriptManager cannot use but Embedded scripts, but Microsoft ScriptManager can.

am i missing something?

Hi Basel,

The composite scripts feature is indeed inherited from the ScriptManager and can be used when using the 3.5 or 4.0 builds of RadControls.

I hope this helps.
