There many cases where script Manager may give problem like that  you Try This First add Script Manager in appropriate Placeholder or any place Holder which appears before the content in which Ajax Control is used    We need to add ScriptManager while using any AJAX Control not only update Panel   lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManger1  runat  Server    gt  If you are using Latest Ajax Control Toolkit  I am not sure about version 4 0 or 4 5  you need to use that Particular ToolkitScriptManager and not ScriptManager from default Ajax Extensions  You can use only one ScriptManager or ToolKitScriptManager on page  If you have added it on Master Page you no need to add it again on Web Page   The problem mentioned here may because of ContentPlaceHolder Please Check how many content place holders you have on your master page  Lets take an example if you have 2 content Placeholders  Head  and  ContentPlaceHolder1  on Master Page and ContentPlaceHolder1 is your Content Page please check below code I added here my ScriptManager on Second Placeholder just below there is update panel         lt  DOCTYPE html gt    lt html xmlns  http   www w3 org 1999 xhtml  gt   lt head runat  server  gt       lt title gt  lt  title gt       lt asp ContentPlaceHolder id  head  runat  server  gt       lt  asp ContentPlaceHolder gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt       lt form id  form1  runat  server  gt       lt div gt           lt asp ContentPlaceHolder id  MainContent  runat  server  gt           lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManger1  runat  Server    gt             lt asp UpdatePanel ID  UpdatePanel1  runat  server  gt       lt ContentTemplate gt       lt  ContentTemplate gt   lt  asp UpdatePanel gt           lt  asp ContentPlaceHolder gt       lt  div gt       lt  form gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt     Most of us make mistake while designing web form when we choose masterpage by default on web page there are equal number of placeholders as of MasterPage    lt    Page Title    Language  C   MasterPageFile    Master Pages Home master  AutoEventWireup  true  CodeFile  frmCompanyLogin aspx cs  Inherits  Authentication frmCompanyLogin    gt    lt asp Content ID  Content1  ContentPlaceHolderID  head  Runat  Server  gt   lt  asp Content gt   lt asp Content ID  Content2  ContentPlaceHolderID  MainContent  Runat  Server  gt   lt  asp Content gt    We no need to remove any PlaceHolder it is guiding structure but you must have to add the web form Contents in Same PlaceHolder where you added your ScriptManager on Master Page  or add Script Manager in appropriate Placeholder or any place Holder which appears before the content in which Ajax Control is used

It simply wants the ASP control on your ASPX page   I usually place mine right under the  tag  or inside first Content area in the master s body  if your using a master page    lt body gt       lt form id  form1  runat  server  gt           lt asp ScriptManager ID  scriptManager  runat  server  gt  lt  asp ScriptManager gt           lt div gt               Content           lt  div gt       lt  form gt   lt  body gt

The script manager must be put onto the page before it is used  This would be directly on the page itself  or alternatively  if you are using them  on the Master Page   The markup would be     lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManager1  runat  server  LoadScriptsBeforeUI  true              EnablePartialRendering  true    gt

The ScriptManager is a control that needs to be added to the page you have created   Take a look at this Sample AJAX Application    lt body gt       lt form runat  server  gt           lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManager1  runat  server  gt  lt  asp ScriptManager gt                   lt  form gt   lt  body gt

with a head tag with runat  server  inside a form tag with runat  server  before the ContentPanels that contain controls that require it - typical controls with UpdatePanels                   lt   PageTitle                                                                                                        lt  form gt    lt  body gt

Just put ScriptManager inside form tag like this    lt form id  form1  runat  server  gt       lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManager1  runat  server  gt       lt  asp ScriptManager gt     If it has Master Page then Put this in the Master Page itself

The ScriptManager is a web control that you register in the page using   lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManger1  runat  Server    gt    inside the Form tag

User · Answer

You can add your Script Manager tags just below the  lt Form gt  tag of your page  Here is how you can place your Script Manager tag        lt asp ScriptManager ID  ScriptManager1  runat  server  gt       lt  asp ScriptManager gt    If you are using Master Pages  its recommended to use your Script Manager in  your Master page so that you do not have to write it again and again on every page that contains AJAX controls

[asp.net] The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it
