DotNet Snippets^1.0

The asp net AJAX library has some useful things built into it. One thing I found I needed was how to find object components or page dotnet controls.

By page objects I mean javascript objects registered like this:

var app = Sys.Application;
			app.add_load(applicationLoadHandler);

function applicationLoadHandler(sender, args) {
$create(MsdnMag.Timer, 
		            {enabled:true, id:"SULTimer", timeout:60000}, 
		            {tick:OnTick}, null, null);
}

To find them you can do something like in this example:

if(typeof(this._components["SULTimer"]) !== 'undefined')
{
// then the object SULTimer exists
}
