ClientScriptManager.IsStartupScriptRegistered Method

Definition

Determines whether the startup script is registered with the Page object.

Overloads

IsStartupScriptRegistered(Type, String)

Determines whether the startup script is registered with the Page object using the specified key and type.

IsStartupScriptRegistered(String)

Determines whether the startup script is registered with the Page object using the specified key.

IsStartupScriptRegistered(Type, String)

Determines whether the startup script is registered with the Page object using the specified key and type.

public:
 bool IsStartupScriptRegistered(Type ^ type, System::String ^ key);
public bool IsStartupScriptRegistered (Type type, string key);
member this.IsStartupScriptRegistered : Type * string -> bool
Public Function IsStartupScriptRegistered (type As Type, key As String) As Boolean

Parameters

type
Type

The type of the startup script to search for.

key
String

The key of the startup script to search for.

Returns

true if the startup script is registered; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

The startup script type is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the IsStartupScriptRegistered method. Note that, if the logic to check for the existing startup script block were removed, there would not be two duplicate startup scripts in the HTML source code of the rendered page because the RegisterStartupScript method checks for duplicates. The benefit of checking is to reduce unnecessary computation.

Remarks

Call this method before calling the RegisterStartupScript method to avoid registering duplicate scripts. This is particularly important if the script requires a large amount of server resources to create.

A client startup script is uniquely identified by its key and its type. Scripts with the same key and type are considered duplicates.

This overload of the IsStartupScriptRegistered method calls the overload that takes both a string key and a type parameter with the type set as a Page object
