How to Utilize ScriptManager Without Any Additional JavaScript Files?

After creating a new ASP 4.0 WebSite in VS2010 and inspecting it with IE9 Developer Tools, I noticed that only one JavaScript file is hidden behind WebResource.axd. It was no surprise to me, but when I decided to include a ScriptManger into my WebSite, three additional JavaScript files appeared, all of them concealed behind ScriptResource.axd. Although I recognized two of these extra JS files as being connected to Microsoft’s version of ASP.NET AJAX, the purpose of the third extra JS file eludes me.

Is there any way to utilize the ASP 4.0 ScriptManager without sending those three extra JavaScript files to the client?

This is the script manager tag I am inserting into my page:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="myScriptManager" runat="server" />

Thank you,

Shawn

NOTE: Despite sharing a similar title, I believe the SO thread on Scriptmanager remove javascript is not relevant to my query. That thread seems to focus on removing inline JavaScript from the main webform, whereas my concern lies with multiple external JavaScript files obscured by an HttpHandler.

Answer №1

Controlling the addition of javascript files to a page by the ScriptManager can be achieved through the use of the AjaxFrameworkMode property (doc).

The AjaxFrameworkMode property allows you to enable all Microsoft Ajax script files, disable them all, or explicitly include individual script files.

However, it is also possible to avoid including certain scripts in your pages based on how you plan to utilize them.

For example, if you want to use PageMethods, you can directly make ajax requests to the method. An informative article on Encosia covers this topic.
