ScriptManager and Output Caching on User Controls

[Darrel]

For a project I am trying to add output caching to a user control.    The user control has a radpanel inside of it. 
The problem with this is when a cached version of the usercontrol is used, the appropriate Javascript is not added to the page.
Is there any easy way from  outside of the user control to tell the RadScriptmanager which javascript should be added in order for the RadPanel to work?    I need the system to remember the script that was added when the control was first cached, and re add  it on later incidences.

Hi Darrel,

We have an article how to use RadMenu with OutputCaching here.

You can use it as a reference, just include the proper skin and javascript files.
The needed js files are:

<Scripts>
   <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/Core.js" />
   <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/jQuery.js" />
   <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/jQueryPlugins.js" />
   <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/Navigation/NavigationScripts.js" />
   <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/PanelBar/RadPanelBarScripts.js" />
</Scripts>

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Veskoni 

That article you pointed me to was helpfull.

For a further question, is there a way I can add the script by referencing the embedded resource inside assembly, instead of copying the scripts files to the application? It would make maintenance and deployment easier.  I would like to add the scripts by some line like below

RadScriptManager1.Scripts.Add(New ScriptReference("Core.js", "Telerik.Web.UI")), 

except I don't know the naming convention used  for the embedded resources.

Hi Darrel,

The convention is to replace '~/Scripts' in the path with 'Telerik.Web.UI' and replace the slash with a dot. For example if the Path is "~/Scripts/Common/Core.js" the resource in the assembly is "Telerik.Web.UI.Common.Core.js". The Panelbar scripts will be "Telerik.Web.UI.PanelBar.RadPanelBarScripts.js".

You can find the rest of the Paths in the 'Disabling embedded resources' help article.
