Hi All,
Im going to deploy an application that uses the ajax control tool kit to a server which as yet has not even one such application installed. And i have to create a case to convince that it is safe to install the extensions and toolkit on the server.
My arguments will be that
1) Only 2 assemblies are needed to be installed in GAC for the extensions. System.Web.Extensions and System.Web.Design.Extensions. So our backout strategy is fairly simple, all that needs to be done is unregister these assemblies from the GAC.
2) Ajax control tool kit assembly AjaxControlToolkit.dll will be just copied in the bin folder so this should not be an issue.
I also had a question if the app will work if the 2 System assemblies are simply copied in the bin folder?? I had read a post somewhere that the app has to run with full trust but did not quiet understand why that has to happen. To me if the assemblies are first searched in bin and if not found then searched in GAC, so this should work fine.
I also wanted to get the 2 points above validated because what I do has to go through an approval process and i have to be absolutely sure of what I am doing.
All answers appreciated, especially from someone who is managing servers where plain vanillla asp.net 2.0 apps and ajax apps are running side by side.
Regards,
Mahesh
