ScriptManager in Master Page

I'm using my own Master Page as a template and if I don't put an <asp:ScriptManager> tag in the master page, I get an error when I try to view the website. However, if I put in a <asp:ScriptManager> tag in the master page, I get an error when I try to edit the page in Administration.

Is this a bug? Do I need to add my <asp:ScriptManager> tag differently or in a different location?

The pages I have created so far are simply place holders...there is only a generic content container with some text on each page. The master page has a content place holder to which I have added a menu Navigation content object from the toolbox.

Thanks.

Hi Philip,

If you have added NavigationControl from the Toolbox  this control explicitly "adds" ScriptManager on a page , because it has an attribute - [RequireScriptManager(true)]. If you have dropped the RadMenu control you have to use ScriptManager. By default we add the ScriptManager internally inside the RouteHandler which is a base class in Sitefinity that handles all requests.

We made some changes to the way that ScriptManager is added to a page and fixed some issues that will be available in the weekly internal build.

Best wishes,
