ScriptManager control is the parent control that needs to be there on every page wherever we are trying to use ASP.NET AJAX controls. ScriptManager control manages client script for AJAX enabled ASP.NET pages. This control enables client script to use the type system extensions and support features for partial page rendering, web service calls etc.
