ScriptManager.RegisterClientScript in a UserControl within a FormView inside an Async Panel.

Question

I'm having an annoying problem registering a javascript event from inside a user control within a formview in an Async panel. I go to my formview, and press a button to switch into insert mode. This doesn't do a full page postback. Within insert mode, my user control's page_load event should then register a javascript event using ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript:

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(base.Page, this.GetType(), ("dialogJavascript" + this.ID), "alert(\"Registered\");", true);

However when I look at my HTML source, the event isn't there. Hence the alert box is never shown. This is the setup of my actual aspx file:

<igmisc:WebAsyncRefreshPanel ID="WebAsyncRefreshPanel1" runat="server">
    <asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="odsCurrentIncident">
        <EditItemTemplate>
            <uc1:SearchSEDUsers ID="SearchSEDUsers1" runat="server" />
        </EditItemTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
            Hello
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Button" />
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:FormView>
</igmisc:WebAsyncRefreshPanel>

Does anyone have any idea what I might be missing here?

Answer 1

Have you tried using RegisterClientSideScript? You can always check the key for the script with IsClientSideScriptRegistered to ensure you don't register it multiple times.

I'm assuming the async panel is doing a partial page past back which doesn't trigger the mechansim to regenerate the startup scripts. Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the ASP.Net Page Life Cycle and the CLR can fill in those blanks.

Try this, i got the same issue

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(MyBase.Page, Me.GetType, ("dialogJavascript" + this.ID), "alert(\"Registered\");", True)

This worked for me!
