The number of script references that a CompositeScriptReference instance can contain is limited by the size of the resulting URL. The URL cannot be longer than 1024 characters.

If you have to work around this limitation, you have two options. The first option is to reduce the number of ScriptReference objects that the composite script contains. The second option is to manually combine the scripts into a single static file. In that case, you can set the Path property to the location of the static file.

CompositeScriptReference is used by ScriptManager and ScriptManagerProxy
CompositeScriptReference Class is type of CompositeScript properties in ScriptManager and ScriptManagerProxy classes.
Declarative syntax  (from http://bellouti.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/combining-javascript-files-with-ajax-toolkit-library/ ) is the following:

<asp:ScriptManagerProxyID=”ScriptManagerProxy2″runat=”server”>
<CompositeScriptScriptMode=”Release”>
<Scripts>

<asp:ScriptReferencename=”MicrosoftAjax.js”/>

…. SCRIPT References….(another subset)
</Scripts>
</CompositeScript>
</asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
