RegisterClientScriptBlock does not work from a server control

[Cameron Eckman]

For some reason I cannot get RegisterClientScriptBlock to render a script
reference on the page from a server control. Yes, I have not placed the code
in the Render method, I also tried the OnInit just in case. Below is the a
simple version of the code, any help is appreciated:

namespace MyCompany.Web
{
public class Header : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl
{

private void RenderClientJavaScript(string javaScriptFilename)
{
string script = string.Format(@"<SCRIPT language=""javascript""
src=""/baxScripts/{0}.js""></SCRIPT>", javaScriptFilename);

if (! Page.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered(javaScriptFilen ame))
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock(javaScriptFilename, script);
}

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRender(e);
RenderClientJavaScript("basicToolset");
RenderClientJavaScript("webMenu");
}

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.Write("Hello World");
}

}
}

I would place my money on RenderClientJavaScript not getting called.
I do not believe the fact that you are not calling base.Render should
effect the actual rendering of the JavaScript so double check that
RenderClientJavaScript is actually getting called at the appropriate
time. You can do this if you are using VS.NET and debugging locally
simply by placing a breakpoint there and then running the web app in
debug mode. .
