Upgrade issue - Please Help

Hi All -

I still have not resolved this issue from a previous post - any help appreciated.

I upgraded from the RC of ASP.Net AJAX Extensions to the 1.0 full release versin.

I started by uninstalling the RC version, uninstalling the ASP.NET AJAX December Futures CTP and (here is where I probably made my mistake) removing the toolbox tabs for AJAX Extensions and the AJAX Control Toolkit.

After installing the release version of ASP.Net AJAX Extensions 1.0 and the ASP.NET AJAX January CTP I did not get the toolbox items back (for the standard items - ScriptManager - UpdatePanel - etc.). I did not even get a AJAX Extensions tab in the toolbox. I have tried running the install again and doing a repair, I tried looking for a dll to refereence when "chossing items" to add to a new tab. Nothing seems to work.

This is *NOT* the ASP.Net Ajax Toolkit that I am refering to - but the main ASP.NET Framework install and the main tools like ScriptManager and UpdatePanel.

Thanks...

To get the main controls into your toolbox, and into a tab, you need to first right-click inside a blank area of your toolbox and choose 'Add Tab', which you can then rename. Next, make sure that tab is extended/open, then right click in a blank area under the tab and click 'choose items'. Under the .NET Framework Components tab, click on the 'Assembly Name' column heading to sort by assembly names. Scroll down to the first entry for the "System.Web.Extensions" assembly, then place a checkmark next to each control from that assembly. Select 'OK' and you should be all set.

If you don't see them in the component box, try doing the above in a project that currently has System.Web.Extensions as a reference.

I am not finding System.Web.Extensions which is weird because I can still actually add the controls to a page by clicking the source tab and then just putting the HTML tags in like <asp:ScriptManager></asp:ScriptManager> .This works but no matter what I do I cannot get the items into the toolbox.

Check your global assembly cache to make sure anything with Microsoft.web has been uninstalled. (you may need to uninstall January CTP for this... reinstall it later). Windows directory/assembly/. (In my case, after installing service pack 1, the older versions of AJAX were no longer displayed in the control panel for removal).

To add the System.Web.Extensions dll to a project, you'll need to navigate to where the dll was installed. by default, this is %Program files%\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025\. (You may see remnants from Microsoft.Web dlls in here, too).

You should then be able to add the controls to the toolbox as described in the previous post.
