.net - How do you Register a startup script?

Question

I have limited experience with .net. My app throws an error this.dateTimeFormat is undefined which I tracked down to a known ajax bug. The workaround posted said to:

"Register the following as a startup script:"

Sys.CultureInfo.prototype._getAbbrMonthIndex = function(value)
{
if (!this._upperAbbrMonths) {
this._upperAbbrMonths = this._toUpperArray(this.dateTimeFormat.AbbreviatedMonthNames);
}
return Array.indexOf(this._upperAbbrMonths, this._toUpper(value));
};

So how do I do this? Do I add the script to the bottom of my aspx file?

You would use ClientScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript()

string str = @"Sys.CultureInfo.prototype._getAbbrMonthIndex = function(value) { 
    if (!this._upperAbbrMonths) { 
        this._upperAbbrMonths = this._toUpperArray(this.dateTimeFormat.AbbreviatedMonthNames);
    }
    return Array.indexOf(this._upperAbbrMonths, this._toUpper(value));
 };";

if(!ClientScriptManager.IsStartupScriptRegistered("MyScript"){
  ClientScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "MyScript", str, true)
}
