problem in using AJAX toolkit

[shanboy]

Hi guys

i'm newbie to AJAX usage.

i'm using visual web developer 2008 express edition

i downloaded AjaxControlToolkit.Binary.NET35 from codeplex site.

i extracted the zip file.

I added the toolbox to visual web developer by adding a new tab naming it ajax kit.

added tools to it by choose item and selected AjaxControlToolkit.dll ,the one i unzipped.

AJAX tools appear in toolbox.Even after using script manager tool,when i drag one of the contols for example autocompleteextender,i get a circle with black diagonal line indicating i cant use the tool

Why is it so..


when i hard code the the controls in tags in source tab ,i dont get an error but i dont get the tool in design view...

the following lines are also present

<%@ Register assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" namespace="System.Web.UI" tagprefix="asp" %>
<%@ Register assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagprefix="ajaxToolkit" %>



Can anyone plz help me...

It's urgent

Thank u

Right click on your project name in the Solutions pane and select Properties.

Click on the References tab (located on the left).

Click the "Add..." button.

Browse to the AjaxControlToolkit.dll, selected it, and click "Ok" to add this class library to your project.

Hi frinny

Even before i posted this problem i could see the ajaxcontrolkit.dll in my bin folder.Is this what happens when u add a reference

As u suggested i added reference to the .dll .
even then i get the same.
To have a better understanding of my issue i've attached a screenshot .When i drag autocompleteextender to design view,i get a circle with a diagonal line as in screenshot.

Thanx for ur speedy reply

When you run the application, does the extender work?
I've seen controls that cannot be displayed by the design-viewer because the require connection to a web server hosting something....when the applications are running they work fine.

Hi frinny
The issue was the version of AJAX tool kit
I was using ASP.NET2.0 and AJAXfor 3.5
When i got the toolkit 1.1 it is running.


I have vs 2008 and .net framework4.0 and AJAX 3.5.I'm yet to try on that
