Installing a new control

I have downloaded a new AJAX Control. but I don't now how to install it. in the readme file says:

1. Copy /ModalUpdateProgress folder into the AjaxControlToolkit projectin the AjaxControlToolkit solution you downloaded. Make sure the js fileis set as embedded resourse. recompile the project.
2. Reference AjaxControlToolkit.dllin your web app.

How do I recompile the project and how to set the js file as a embedded resourse

Seems both ModalUpdateProgress and AjaxControlToolkit are need.

Are they downloaded from the following location?

http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.com/

http://www.codeproject.com/Ajax/ModalUpdateProgress.asp

yes they are. AjaxControlToolkit is installed and it is working fine

I have downloaded some other controls such as ModalUpdateProgress but I don't know how to "recompile the project ". What project?

Installing AJAX in VS 2005...?

Hi,

I have tried on numerous occasions to install AJAX. I have downloaded all files and installed them in turn, in line with what the site says.

But, when I re-open VS 2005 and go to create a new website, the AJAX template is no where to be seen and, also, when I am tryign to write a site the <ajax:> tags are not available to me? I can however see the AJAX controls in my toolbox?

Has anyone had the same expereince or have any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Installing Atlas Toolkit

Does the Atlas Toolkit work with VS2005 Satandard Edition? I downloaded the self extracting file and it autoinstalled, but I when I startde up VS there was no option for Atlas?

You need to manualy add the controls to the toolbox and add a reference to the AtlasControlToolkit.dll.

Hope this helps

Yes that worked fine. One other question though, I tried to use the drop shadow extender but nothing happens?? I put a couple of text boxes on the screen and dragged over the drop shadow extender and thought I would see extra options in the prperty window to control the amount of shadow etc, but nothing there? Same thing again with the rounded corners extended - nothing happens. What am I missing out?

Many thanks,
James
Can you post an example of your code?
I have it working now. I didn't realise that new options would be added to the property box of the item being manipulated.

Installing the AJAX Control Toolkit

Hi All,

I've downloaded the latest toolkit but don't seem to have any of the new controls. eg DropShadow or UpdatePanelAnimation.

When I open the semple website that comes with the download, I can view the source of the asp page but can't switch to design view. When I try, I get the following message:

error creating control - content 1

Unknown server tag 'asp:ScriptManager'

I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition - is this my problem and do I need a full vs2005 edition?

Many thanks in advance

Mike

Couple things could cause that. Most likely though you don't have the necessary changes made to your WEB.CONFIG. Create a new AJAX project from scratch and review the stuff it puts in there related to AJAX. Then merge those things into your WEB.CONFIG. Somebody should put together a FAQ on retrofitting an existing web.config file to support AJAX and the toolkit.

It also could be that you haven't copied the DLL for AJAX and the TOOLKIT into your BIN folder.

In order for the Toolbox controls to appear in the toolbox, you have to right-click in the toolbox and add the controls by pointing to the Toolkit DLL.

Hi there,

In my bin folder for my new application, I have the required DLL(Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll). I have tried to add the toolkit to my toolbar, navigated to the relevant DLL and this throws up another error which I have put in another post.

One thing I have noticed is that uner My templates when I create a new site, I have "ATLAS" Web Site. Most docs I have read suggest it should say AJAX Website. I have the latest Atlas CTP installed so I am not sure why this is. Thanks for your tips so far and any further tips would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers

Mike

Atlas.dll is the old version, you need Ajax.dll

THere is a guide somewhere on this website for upgrading from the Atlas.dll syntax ...

Hi Dtaylo75,

Excellent. Found the guide. Deleted the Atlas CTP and Installed the AJAX Beta. Now the AJAX toolkit is included in my toolbar.

Many thanks for your time this afternoon.

Installing/Adding ATLAS Conrol Extenders

Hi,

I have downloaded the extenders from the website.

Although when I attempt to add Microsoft.AtlasControlExtender.dll to the toolbar - I receive the following error:

--------
Microsoft Visual Studio
--------
There are no components in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\Atlas\v2.0.50727\Atlas\Microsoft.AtlasControlExtender.dll' that can be placed on the toolbox.
--------
OK
--------

why is that so? what am i doing wrong? I just want to use the textbox watermark for a start :).

any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.Install "AtlasControlToolkit.dll", not "Microsoft.AtlasControlExtender.dll"

See http://atlas.asp.net/atlastoolkit/Walkthrough/Setup.aspx for full setup
Colin,

I have already installed that one.

But when I've added all the controls - none of the TextBox watermark or sliding Containers - they're not there.

So I figured I had to install the Extenders...

If in fact they're part of the AtlasControlToolkit.dll - why dont all the extenders come up when I add them to the toolbar?
Interesting... they should be in AtlasControlToolkit.dll

Check to make sure you have the latest version of the control toolkit. If you do, you might try deleting the tab (or resetting the toolbox) and recreating the toolkit tab.

Microsoft.AtlasControlExtender.dll only contains the base class that all the extenders inherit from, so you won't find any useful toolbox items there.
Colin - i had a look - and in fact after re-adding it - worked perfectly.

Thank you very much.

Integrate AjaxControls from Toolkit into VS 2005 Toolbox ?

Hi

I have just downloaded the Ajax Control Toolkit latest version. Although i did run "AjaxControlExtender.vsi"; however i cannot find the controls in the toolbox. Could anyone please point out how to integrate the controls from the toolkit into the toolbox. Thank you.

Regards,
NAB

Add on current toolbox, right click to add a new tab, name this what ever you want like AJAX Tool Kit.

Now locate the AjaxControlToolkit.dll assembly file, it should be where you installed it under the folder SampleWebSite\Bin. Drag this assembly and drop it into your new toolbox tab. All the toolkit controls should now be in this new tab.

It worked. Thanks a lot mate.
