Question

It throws exception when i try to combine scripts in ScriptRegistrar (Telerik version 2011.3.1115) with this code:

@Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().DefaultGroup(c => c.DefaultPath("~/Scripts/").Add("jquery.tools.min.js").Add("Common.js?v=1.1").Add("date.js").Add("jquery.validate.min.js").Add("jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js").Add("jquery.notty.js").Combined(true))

when i remove combine (.Combined(true)) works perfectly (expect i don’t have script combined).

exception is this:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Illegal characters in path.

Answer 1

“Common.js?v=1.1” is not a valid file path. The ScriptRegistrar needs a valid path because it has to read the file from the file system.
