Does DotNetNuke 6 support Ajax Control Toolkit?

Question

Does anybody have successfully working module in DNN 6 with the Ajax Control Toolkit? My modules stopped working when we migrated from DNN 5.x to to 6.x. Modules compile without errors but I am getting client side script error:

'AjaxControlToolkit requires ASP.NET Ajax 4.0 scripts. Ensure the correct version of the scripts are referenced. If you are using an ASP.NET ScriptManager, switch to the ToolkitScriptManager in AjaxControlToolkit.dll'

Seems like this is conflict with Telerik's controls, according to information that I have found. But I didn't find any info how to fix it.

Answer 1

You should be able to use older versions of the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, but once they start requiring the ToolkitScriptManager, you're out of luck with DNN (though you'll be out of luck with any version of DNN, since there's not a way to override the type of ScriptManager it uses.

Starting with DNN 6, they use Telerik's RadScriptManager. Previously, you could modify the core code to switch out for the ToolkitScriptManager, but now switching out might cause other issues.
