Is there a kb article or other source that lists all the proper elements that must be added to web.config to use ajax on discountaspnet? What I've found to this point doesn't provide this. I did findexamples on asp.net. But when I added it to our site's web.config it caused errors. So I'm guessing there is a specific set up for discountaspnet. http://asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/ConfiguringASPNETAJAX.aspx Thanks in advance.
It was some type of configuration error. I installed ajax 1.0 on my local computer so I could view the web.config provided with that installation. The problem was I left out the system.web.extensions elements. Here is the web.config example that comes with ajax 1.0 if anyone else comes across this: <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/> <sectionGroup name="webServices" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <section name="jsonSerialization" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="Everywhere" /> <section name="profileService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" /> <section name="authenticationService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" /> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <system.web> <pages> <controls> <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/> </controls> </pages> <!-- Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging symbols into the compiled page.

One other thing I forgot to note. Make sure you place the configSections element above the appSettings element. Not sure why but it caused a runtime error when I had it below.
Jim; There's a tuorial video which shows you how to convert an ASP application to take advantage of Ajax at: http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/video-81.aspx Good luck, Lar
