Trouble installing Control Toolkit

Hi all, I cannot install the toolkit properly. Is there a specific location that I should extract the files to? I get error messages saying that certain files (website examples etc.) didn't install properly. Thanks for your help.

Hi MonkeyInquisition,

monkeyinquisition:

Is there a specific location that I should extract the files to?

As far as I know, there's no specific location limited. But it is recommended to extract the files to System Driver(c):\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET.

To install the Ajax Control Toolkit, you'd better have a glance at this: http://www.asp.net/ajax/control-toolkit/live/Walkthrough/Setup.aspx. Also, there's a pretty good video tutorial provide on this url: http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/.

By the way, Ajax Control Toolkit works depend on Asp.net 2.0 Ajax Extensions, so you should install it first. It's video tutorial is also provided on the url above.Thanks

I hope this help.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Trouble installing ASP.NET Ajax

I have tried several times to install ASP.NET Ajax (latest version as of November 9, 2006). I get no indications of installation failure. However, the Ajax project template available when I create a project. There is no evidence of a project template in the appropriate templates folder.

I would like to use ASP.NET Ajax in my current project but will not be able if I can't get it installed. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

One thing I did notice is the extensions file is AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll (notice the plural Exensions, but the documentation refers to Extension singular.

Thanks,

Rod

Hi Rod,

I was wondering whether you managed to solve the above problem.

I'm having a similar problem trying to install asp.net AJAX extensions and have the relevant templates appear in microsoft visual web developer express.

Would love to know in case you found a solution to this issue.

Thanks!!

For what it's worth, my first attempt to install moments ago, failed after about 5 minutes of disk churning.

I noticed I was running Visual Studio was running, so I shut that down and reinstalled. Then it worked, installed ok and controls are available.

I also noticed though that the "UpdatePanel" control (which allows for "partial page" updates does not allow drag and drop - which it should). Apparently it works in the Beta, which MS uses in the Video, but not in the "final release". You can actually make controls "children" of the updatepanel control using the HTML (source) view but that is tedious and it is not reflected in the "Design mode". I hope I am wrong about this but that's my experience thus far (trying it today).

Just my experience. Good Luck.

well, it's working on my machine, but i'm using vs 2008...

I am not sure what exactly the problem is but any how ...You might havn't installed the prerequisites as well.

You need to install Extensions package as well. from the same donwload page.......

Then there is dll file in the bin folder where you installed the setup you can use it in your pages then easily...

Hi,

I'd like to add something to Muhammad's post.

To use it, just place the AjaxControlToolkit.dll assembly in the bin folder of you web site.

trying to fix a messed up ATLAS install

I'm trying to fix a messed up ATLAS March CTP installation. Unfortunately I don't have with me the March CTP msi file, and the April CTP won't install / overwrite until I fix and then remove the March CTP. Could anyone point me to a fix, or provide the link to previous CTP releases?

I've tried searching but the March CTP just isn't to be found anymore.

TIA.

hello.

well, though it's not recommended, you can allways delete the files and remove the entries from the registry. this will let you install the new version. see if this link helps:

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the response. While I was waiting for a response on the forums, I already tried deleting the directory & registry entries etc., but hasn't helped. The Cleanup Utility sure looks like it might work.

I'll try it out and post back if I encounter issues.

Luis,

Thanks a ton! That tool did the trick
