Ajax enabling your controls
Ok, so you have the greatest control library ever made and Microsoft releases Asp.Net Ajax and none of them work anymore. What is one to do?
Eilon Lipton to the rescue! He writes a very good article about Ajax enabling your controls without linking to the System.Web.Extensions dll.
However, the article is a bit outdated. Here is a piece of code that solves the problems (at least for the latest version of Asp.Net Ajax):
This is because the namespace has changed since the writing of Elion's article from Microsoft.Web.UI to System.Web.UI and there are two methods named RegisterClientScriptResource and two named RegisterStartupScript so you have to get the right one. Else you get the "Ambiguous match found" error.
There you have it!

if (scriptManagerType != null)
{RegisterClientScriptResourceMethod = scriptManagerType.GetMethod("RegisterClientScriptResource", new Type[] { typeof(Control), typeof(Type),typeof(string) });
RegisterStartupScriptMethod = scriptManagerType.GetMethod("RegisterStartupScript", new Type[] { typeof(Control), typeof(Type), typeof(string), typeof(string), typeof(bool) });
}
