When should I use ScriptManager to register scripts and when is it ok to use the Page.ClientScript? What are the rules?
The intention is for ScriptManager to be used with ASP.NET AJAX-specific scripts, since it is supposed to ensure things are placed in the right order with the right dependencies pre-registered for ASP.NET AJAX controls and scripts to work properly.
The ClientScriptManager (Page.ClientScript) is for JavaScripts in general, e.g. anything that is not directly tied to ASP.NET AJAX.
