Is is required to install AJAX extension in the server to run ajax enabled site

Hi,

I have a .net application using Ajax extensions and tool kit. Now I am trying to deploy it in Win 2003 server.

After installation when I try to open the application I get the following error:

"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, "

I wanted to know if it is required that I have to manually install the Ajax extension on the server. Or the dll in the bin folder of my project for the Ajax extension is enough.

Thanks

I think it needs to reside in the GAC on the server. I had a similar issue.

Thanks eseidel,

Could you please say me how u resolved it. I have not done anything on GAC earlier.

Thanks,

Gayathri.

Hi Gayathri,

Install ASP .Net Ajax in the server (this automatically registers the dlls in the GAC). This should take care of the problem.

If this is not possible then you have to manually register the dll in the GAC. For this you can do two things:

1. Drag and drop the dll into c:\Windows\Assembly or

2. Use GACUtil. Check out this link to get a clear idea of using the utility.

hope this helps.

Thanks,

Could you possibly tell me which file i'd need to download... preferably the location for the asp.net ajax framework for the dedicated servers?

Hi, My problem was resolved after installling the ASP.net AJax Extension MSI in my server.

You don't have to place it in any specific location. Just download the latest version of the Ajax Extension Framework from the ASP.net AJax site and install the MSI in your server. After the installation, you should be able to see the files in the below path in your server

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\"
