[Solved] Style Sheet Registrar giving: "Cannot write to a closed TextWriter. " when it is inside of a partial view or template

[Mike]

I am getting "Cannot write to a closed TextWriter. " when it is inside of a partial view or template. I just upgraded to the latest Telerik package and started getting this on code that was there prior. If I take the same stuff and put it directly in the head of the Master Page, then it works. I like to keep the stylesheet registrar in its own control due to some of the site's complexities.

Thanks,
Mike

Hey Telerik, is there anyone out there? It seems like I have posted quite a few times on this site and not one has been answered by you guys. Pretty sad since I am a proponent of your tools and I usually put them in my client's solutions. Would be nice if you guys answered every once in a while. Thanks.

It assigns response time (according to the purchased license) to every issue that is submitted and forwards it to the corresponding teams.

I have a razor layout file that calls the partial view _MallCommonScripts.cshtml, 
I setup the ScriptRegistrar as following:

    var scripts = Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
        .Globalization(true)
        .jQuery(false).jQueryValidation(false) //disable the jQuery shipped with Telerik, which is of version 1.7.1
        .CombinedComponentFile(true)
        .DefaultGroup(
            g =>
            {
                g.Add("~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js");
                g.Add("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js");
                g.Add("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js");

                g.Combined(true);
                g.Compress(false);
            });
    scripts.Render(); //will cause "Cannot write to a closed TextWriter" exception
}

And I get the exception "Cannot write to a closed TextWriter".

The exception is thrown on SOME pages ONLY, which I cannot tell the differences between the pages that throws or not.

The workaround is to change the last line of the ScriptRegistrar setup code from scripts.Render() to "@script":

//scripts.Render(); //will cause "Cannot write to a closed TextWriter" exception on SOME pages
@scripts    //This works for all pages

Wish this helps.
