Accordion (Ajax Control Toolkit relelase 20820) problem after migration to .Net 3.5

Hello developers,

After migrating my web project application (using the old model) to .Net
Framework 3.5 and Ajax Control Toolkit release 20820 the Accordion control
no longer works correctly. In certain cases (only) it renders but is dead -
does not initialize. Before the migration it worked, no changes have been
made.

Here is the complete scenario description:

1. There are two nested master pages, ScriptManager is defined within the
grand master page, no ScriptManagerProxy.
2. There are two content pages using Accordion control. Accordion control
works fine on whatever page opens first when the application starts (tested
with both pages), but does not work when I navigate to the other page.
3. The page where it does not work is missing Accordion initialization
script:
Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
$create(AjaxControlToolkit.AccordionBehavior
4. All the control html tags render correctly, so the Accordion shows up but
is dead - panes cannot be expanded/collapsed.
5. All the other Ajax Toolkit Controls on this content page render and
initialize. Only the Accordion control does not.

It seems that ScriptManager thinks this script is already rendered. It can
also be some kind of caching problem. I am clueless.

Thanks,
Tomasz

Hi Tomasz,

From your description the Accordion initialization script is not rendered
in a nested master page scenario, correct? Is there a ScriptManagerProxy
put in the content page where the Accordion resides?

Could you send a demo project to me that can reproduce this problem? My
email is v-alchen@microsoft.com. I'll try to repro it on my side to see
what the root cause of this behavior is.

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for your project. I'm now investigating this issue. In the mean time
you're appreciated to send me a concise demo that can repro this problem. I
think it can help to speed up my troubleshooting progress.

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for your project. I found the problem will happen if the output
cache in the UserControl is applied and your ImageLink control is added in
it. To work it around I suggest you remove the output cache in this
UserControl.

I agree that it's indeed a strange behavior. I suggest you submit a
feedback on our connect
(http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback). Our development team
engineer can get noticed of such issue and other community members can also
vote on the same issue. I have sent you a concise demo project that can
reproduce this problem.

Hi Allen,
Thanks for your help. There are many more instances of my ImageLink control
on those pages, so I am not sure why removing one of them makes a
difference. Anyway, I will do as you suggested - report a bug.

Bug has been reported via Microsoft Connect, item ID 366191

For the record: I finally compiled the latest version of Ajax Toolkit
Framework under .Net Framework 2.0 and changed website configuration so it
uses .Net 2.0 - it solved the problem, so it seems the problem is with the
..Net framework 3.5, not the newest Ajax Control Toolkit 20820.
