ASP.NET Project deployed on a remote server requires a ScriptManager on the page

Question

I built a project and I used a HoverMenuExtender on the page and for this I also added a ScriptManager on the page and my project is running successfully on my local system without any error but when I deploy it on the remote server then there is an error:

enter image description here

In my code I used ScriptManager below the form tag.

Put the tag before any controls that use. Simply. – PiLHA May 16 '13 at 16:39 — PiLHA, May 16 '13 at 16:39

I am sure you tried this already but just in case put your ScriptManager between the FORM tags, see what happens:

<form id="MyScriptManagerForm" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="MyScriptManager" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" >
        <Services>
            <asp:ServiceReference Path="~/WebServices/Tralalalalala.svc" />
        </Services>
    </asp:ScriptManager>
 </form>

This answer helped in a case I had today: strangely enough, there was no exception with the tag outside the form in dev and in debug builds - it occurred only on the production machine with a release build. – Cee McSharpface Mar 07 '16 at 09:20

It could be that the server your are deploying to does not have Ajax extensions installed. Depending on which version of Ajax you are using you can try to copy System.Web.Extensions.dll into your bin folder and deploy again.

which version of asp.net are you using? If 4.0, try C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0 – user2315985 May 16 '13 at 17:38
See if you have this path... C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5 – user2315985 May 16 '13 at 19:03
