Page Request Manager Parser Error with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0

How many times you get this in your ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications?

After several support tickets we manage to isolate this to very simple case - standard UpdatePanel and a Button writing in Session. How weird?

Here is the code:

 

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script runat="server">
    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Page.Session("test") = "test"
    End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

 

To reproduce this every time you can simply change something in the web.config file - single space will do the trick.

Now run the application and you will get famous "Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException":

Untitled

 

So what now?

Well the resolution is even more weird... just add a Global.asax file to your application and you are ready to go!

Weird, isn't it?
