AjaxControlToolkit is undefined - Error when bringing an extender up to date

I am looking for some way to warn the user if a form is 'dirty' and they try and navigate away from it.

This project seemed to do exactly what I needed.

However, it was written back in 2007, and when I tried to use it "as-is" in my .NET 4.0 app with the latest version of the Ajax Control Toolkit it didn't work.

So, I downloaded the source (available from the CodeProject article) and tried to bring it up-to-date. But this is the first time I've attempted such a task and I'm a bit lost.

The error I'm now getting is as follows:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'AjaxControlToolkit' is undefined

The line in the DirtyPanelExtenderBehaviour.js which gives the error is: DirtyPanelExtender.DirtyPanelExtenderBehavior.registerClass('DirtyPanelExtender.DirtyPanelExtenderBehavior', AjaxControlToolkit.BehaviorBase);

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Downloaded the source from the Codeproject article

2. Opened in Visual Studio 2010 and completed the upgrade wizard

3. Deleted references to AjaxControlToolkit.dll and replaced with a new reference to the latest version of the toolkit 4. Amended references to ScriptManager with ToolkitScriptManager (Not sure if this was needed)

5. Amended the sample website to use a ToolkitScriptManager on the page in place of a ScriptManager

Sooo, any ideas what I've done wrong? Or what I'm missing? So that I can recompile the DirtyPanelExtender.dll and use it in my .NET 4.0 project?

The full code is below that I am using. The original author wrote this with exception of my amendments as detailed above - I'm not taking credit!

The BehaviorBase class now resides in a different namespace. You need to replace the line...

DirtyPanelExtender.DirtyPanelExtenderBehavior.registerClass('DirtyPanelExtender.DirtyPanelExtenderBehavior', AjaxControlToolkit.BehaviorBase);

with...

DirtyPanelExtender.DirtyPanelExtenderBehavior.registerClass('DirtyPanelExtender.DirtyPanelExtenderBehavior', Sys.Extended.UI.BehaviorBase);
