Embedding jQuery into your ASP.Net Server Custom Control - asp.net

Question

I am undergraduate student. I had some queries related to embedding jQuery inside your ASP.NET Server side Custom Control.
private string GetEmbeddedTextFile(string sTextFile)
{
// generic function for retrieving the contents
// of an embedded text file resource as a string
// we'll get the executing assembly, and derive
// the namespace using the first type in the assembly
Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
String sNamespace = a.GetTypes()[0].Namespace;
// with the assembly and namespace, we'll get the
// embedded resource as a stream
Stream s = a.GetManifestResourceStream(
string.Format("{0}.{1}",a.GetName().Name, sTextFile)
);
// read the contents of the stream into a string
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s);
String sContents = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
s.Close();
return sContents;
}
private void RegisterJavascriptFromResource()
{
// load the embedded text file "javascript.txt"
// and register its contents as client-side script
string sScript = GetEmbeddedTextFile("JScript.txt");
this.Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("PleaseWaitButtonScript", sScript);
}
private void RegisterJQueryFromResource()
{
// load the embedded text file "javascript.txt"
// and register its contents as client-side script
string sScript = GetEmbeddedTextFile("jquery-1.4.1.min.txt");
this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(typeof(string), "jQuery", sScript);
// this.Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("JQueryResourceFile", sScript);
}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
// the client-side javascript code is kept
// in an embedded resource; load the script
// and register it with the page.
RegisterJQueryFromResource();
RegisterJavascriptFromResource();
}
but the problem I am facing is that all my JQuery code which I have written in separate .JS file and have tried to embed in my Custom control , is streamed as output on the screen . Also , my Control is not behaving correctly as it should have to , jQuery functionality is not working behind due to this reason of not getting embedded properly :-(
Please help me out!
Thank you!

Answer 1

It sounds like you are missing the <script> tags surrounding the javascript. Try this overload of RegisterClientScriptBlock that takes a fourth boolean parameter that will add the script tags if it is true.
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(typeof(string), "jQuery", sScript, true);

"all my JQuery code which I have written in separate .JS file and have tried to embed in my >Custom control , is streamed as output on the screen" .
Sounds like you need to add a line that tells the code how to download the embedded javascript. Do it with an Assembly annotation above the start of a class in your custom control project. This is the format:
<Assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("Namespace.ScriptName.js", "application/x-javascript")>
