Confused about AJAX control library

[sklett]

Yesterday marks the start of my research on the new (to me) .net AJAX
framework. I checked with my web host and they have the framework
installed.
I installed the framework on my dev machine and noticed only a few controls
in the toolbox. Before I download and install the additional control
library I'm wondering if they need to be "installed" on my web host's server
or if I simply place them in the bin folder of my site?

In other words, I don't want to spend a day downloading, installing and
creating my first page only to find out that when I upload to my host the
controls are missing. My host is not the greatest at answering even
semi-technical questions, so I thought I would check here first.

Any advice/guidance appreciated.

the ajax control toolkit is just a dll (or project) you add to your
website. actually you can use the base ajax library without installing
in the gac it by just including the dll's with your project.
