I am running into an issue with 4.5 and Sitecore 6.5. We are currently using Sitecore.NET 6.5.0 (rev. 120706) on .NET Framework 3.5 along with relevant Telerik controls and AJAXToolkit.
We are trying to migrate the .NET Framework to 4.5.2 now (and plan Sitecore migration little later). Along with 4.5.2 Framework, we also tried to use latest versions of AjaxToolKit and Telerik.
While testing, we observed an issue that is affecting two behaviors. 1. The PageMethods to Web/Script Methods on server-side are failing. On research, we found out that the GetTestMethod call on page www.MYWEBSITE.com/Feature/Page1.aspx is going to /Feature/Page1.aspx/GetTestMethod instead of /layouts/WebSite1/General/BasePage.aspx/GetTestMethod.
BasePage.aspx is the base page. PageMethods.get_page() is returning BasePage.aspx instead of /layouts/WebSite1/General/BasePage.aspx
- The Telerik controls (like RadTreeView) on WEBSITE/Feature/Page1.aspx are throwing scripting errors saying 'Telerik is not defined'. Page1.aspx is a page inside Features Item under the home page in Sitecore. But if we use a classic asp.net page (TestTelerik.aspx) under the web site's main folder (not in sitecore), the telerik control works normally.
So, it looks like ItemResolver, IgnoreURlPrefixes, or something else in the configs is causing this issue.
Do I need to change something in the configs for Sitecore to handle this correctly.
My web.config is like below
<setting name="IgnoreUrlPrefixes" value="/sitecore/default.aspx|/trace.axd|/webresource.axd|/sitecore/shell/Controls/Rich Text Editor/Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx|/sitecore/shell/applications/content manager/telerik.web.ui.dialoghandler.aspx|/sitecore/shell/Controls/Rich Text Editor/Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd|/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd|/sitecore/admin/upgrade/|/layouts/testing|" />

PS: On migrating 3.5 to 4.5.2...the Visual Studio 2013 removed the 3.5 specific references to System.Web.Extensions and other stuff. I added some references to System.Web.Extensions manually (as observed above).
