Registering controls in the RadAjaxManager to use the RadAjaxManager???

[Matthew]

I've no long taken over an app and something that's puzzling me is it seems the previous develop has registers controls in the RadAjaxManager like this? Is it an appropriate use of the manager to register controls in this way?  Registering the AjaxManager to itself to update other controls?!?

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="AjaxManager" runat="server" OnAjaxRequest="AjaxManager_AjaxRequest" EnablePageHeadUpdate="false">

<AjaxSettings>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="AjaxManager">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="pnlAttendStatus" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Hi Matthew,

The provided configuration is proper in scenarios in which the AjaxManager is triggering an Ajax request updating some other controls on the page. For example, this can be done by initiating a manual ajaxRequest() like explained in the following article:
