Installing AJAX Control Toolkit for Visual Web Developer Express Edition

I cannot find any documentation on the asp.net website on how to install the AJAX Control Toolkit using Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Tom

have you tried

Found a great tutorial that steps through the process of adding the controls to the toolbox at

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 Toolkit on ASP.NET Express Edition

Okay so I download the file and all and I started watching the video tutorial on how to install but only to quickly find out i need the full version of asp.net to do it like in the tutorial.

It mentioned using the .dll file and so on if you have the Express version but that doesn't get me far. As a novice I'm wondering if anyone has a video or a good walkthrough.

Thank you. :)

HI,

You download the toolkit from the below link

http://ajax.asp.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=47

and download the video from the below link

http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/view.aspx?tabid=63&id=75

and follow the instructions in the video , i hope ur problem will be solved.

Thanks but I already downloaded the file and I watched the video.

The video works only if you have the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 FULL VERSION, I on the other hand only have the Express Edition.

Anyone know how to install it for the Express Edition?

Intalling atlas on windows vista

hello guys.

today i've installed vista beta 2 (ultimate edition) and i'm facing a weird problem related with the installation of atlas.

everything seems to go fine but at the end of the installation i get the following error: access to the path c:\program files\microsoft asp.net\atlas\v2.0.50727\vsisetup.installstate us denied.

so, has anyone installed atlas on vista?

Hi Luis,

I got the same problem installing Atlas on Vista. I solved it by running the AtlasSetup.msi as Administrator. The problem is that Vista dont allow you to run an msi as Administrator, to do it you need to create a .bat file that executes the msi and run that .bat file as Administrator.

I just saved AtlasSetup.msi on C:\ and created atlas.bat file on c:\ with the content: "C:\AtlasSetup.msi" and saved it. To execute the bat file I clicked with the right mouse button in it and used the Run as Administrator option to execute the bat.

Hope that it helps you.

See ya,

Diego

hello Diego,

that's weird...i was testing that new feature of vista that allows you to run as non admin even though you're an admin (so, yes, i'm in the administrators group)...the funny part is that eveerything seems to run fine until the end of the installation. here i get the error presented before...

Hi Guys,

I was having the same problem yesterday and I think the problem was trying to register the asbx file extension with IIS7. After a reinstall of IIS it all worked fine.

Cheers,
Andy

I also tried to install attlas on vista. When I saw the message which prevents Atlas to write to the disk I rebooted Vista in safe mode and loged on as administrator. Then I got error that atlas cannot be installed in safe mode, The only thing which allow me to install atlas was to allow access to specified folder during setup. You need to find folder in windows explorer, select properties and manages security access tab,

hello.

i've managed to install it without errors by opening explorer as an admin (yep, go to the explorer.exe though windows explorer, right click on it and choose run as admin) and then running the installer didn't gave me any problems.
