ASP.NET Ajax and VisualStudio2005

[Frinavale]

Hi there,

I've recently been experimenting with ASP.NET Ajax.
I'm able to create an Ajax Enabled website however Visual Studio doesn't seem to recognize the Asp.NET Ajax components...

When I'm viewing the web page in HTML format it doesn't even recognize the <asp:ScriptManager>.

What's really getting to me is that it doesn't recognize the <asp:UpdatePanel> nor the <contenttemplate>...and everything within these tags, even though they are regular components (like text boxes and panels), shows up as errors.

Right now I can't switch back to design view because there is a minor table tag out of place or something but can't find the error because there are so many error-swigglies underlining everything.

The site is works very well....and despite the fact that all these errors are listed, Visual Studio still compiles and runs the site. (well not right now because I have to find that error that's stopping me from switching views...but normally it does)

Is there a way to make Visual Studio recognize the ASP.NET Ajax components?

Thanks

This is not a Javascript/AJAX problem. I'll move this to the .NET forum where you might get more help.

Unfortunately, I don't believe so unless you can find a 3rd party plug inMicrosoft to Add AJAX Capabilities to ASP.NET

Do you have vs2005 SP1 installed?
Is this version 1.0 of ASP.NET AJAX or an earlier release?
In the tool box do you have a section for the AJAX extensions?

Tried to edit my post but i couldnt.

If you have the right versions installed and nothing in the toolbox, right click the toolbox and select "reset toolbox" the extensions should appear.

Then open your page, delete the scriptmanager and drag one from the toolbox to the page.

Actually I don't have VS2005 SP1 installed.
That could be the problem. I am having some major issues downloading the service pack and have almost given up on the venture....it simply will not download.

I have the Ajax extensions in the toolbar. Everything is working fine unless I view my web page as "html".

I guess I could try a bit harder to get SP1.

Thanks a lot for your help!

After installing Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio everything works fine!

OK, I followed instrauctions and installed the Ajax toolkit, great!! all tools were there as expected.

However!!!

Now when I go back to my previous website project the regular toobx items are gone, all that shows is the empty general... whoops!

Tried to reset and nothing happens, even though it goes off thinking about and then returns. Still nothing.

If I create a new website, non ajax it creates a new one with all normal defualt tools.

What is up with that?
