AJAX ToolKit Beta 1.0

Many customers asked about how to use the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit Controls on their website. Because this is new, our research showed limited and conflicting information out on the Internet. So we tested the Toolkit and got it to work on our server. Here are some instructions:

1. Download AJAX extension setup from http://ajax.asp.net
Download The ASP.NET AJAX CTP and Control Toolkit from http://ajax.asp.net/default.aspx?tabid=47&subtabid=471


2. Once AJAX extension is installed, the Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll can be found at: [Program Files%\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025\]

3. Copy Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll to the Bin Directory of your web application, which is using the Control Toolkit Controls.

4. Upload your Web Application to the DiscountASP.NET Server and configure the application folder as a web application using Web Application tool within the Control Panel.


Here is a link to a sample use of Control Toolkit Controls on a DiscountASP.NET Server.

I've followed all of these steps but i can't get it worked.

I've a security error when i placed the dll in the bin :

Maybe it's linked to the trust level ??

Please help me out with this.

I also am struggling with these new requirements, but for a different reason. I currently have my web application pages inside the root directory (index.aspx, search.aspx). If I'm interpreting this correctly, I would need to declare the folder a web application, which in the root directory I already thought was the case. In my control panel, I cannot adjust the root web app settings.

So basically are you saying that I need to create a subdirectory and have my master pages, index and everything else moved there so I can declare it a web app? This doesn't sound right and is difficult to carry out in my case.

Any help is appreciated here.

 

Ok.

I've sorted it out, it was with the trust level indeed.

 

cragi, what's exactly the error you are faced to ?

I'm trying to use the control toolkit as well. My bin has the following references:
ajaxcontroltoolkit.dll
ajaxextensionstoolbox.dll
microsoft.web.extensions.dll
microsoft.web.preview.dll

The error is here:
www.loansifterqa.com

 

one of the guys here seems to think that the message is because you haven't made this file available on the server hosting this site. Judging by your comments, are you saying that this is not necessary..does the dll contain the neceesary data?

 

Your site seems to work fine.If I am not wrong you have used the TextBoxWaterMark right?

yes it is working fine now..thanks everyone.. The dll's hadn't were re-uploaded and worked fine this time..

 

If you have more than one project on your webserver make sure you put the dll's in the bin of the root of your hosting space. Took me ages to figure that out!
