How do I specify web config to select AjaxControlToolkit 3.5?

Thank you very much for your feedback. But I have already this code statement in my web config; it dont work...it looks for AjaxControlToolkit 2.0.

My projects are built for 3.5.
The problem is that the AjaxControlToolkit look for 2.0

When I install AjaxControlToolkit 3.5; it has dependencies problem&

In VS you can select the .NET framework and it change the web config file. You can open the web config file and then change the framework; you will see the config file change.

I do not understand why the AjaxControlToolkit looks for .NET 2.0; when everything else in the web config is specified to .NET 3.5

Any suggestion?
Looks I have a DLL Hell problem...

Thank you,
Rune
 

The problem is that you need to copy the 3.5 AjaxControlToolkit .dll in the website bin folder.
The above line was to be inserted here:

<controls>
         <add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="AjaxToolkit"/>
</controls>

not in the <compilation><assemblies> element.

This web.config declaration, being version agnostic, will look for anything with that name in the bin folder.

If you have any "Register" declarations in your pages, just remove them, the above will work as a global register.

So, the steps would be:

1) Copy the  3.5 .dll to the Bin folder.
2) Remove references in the  <compilation><assemblies>, if any.
3) Add this:

<controls>
         <add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="AjaxToolkit"/>
</controls>

4) Remove any in-page assembly Register declaration.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

My site works fine with 3.5; when I add AjaxControlToolkit 3.5 (3.0.20820.0) in the bin with correct web config and without any register declaration in the pages; I get dependencies problem.

I have uninstall 3.5 and 3.0; reinstalled 3.5 which reinstall 3.0; still problems.

I have also the problem to include the AjaxControlToolkit to my toolbox tab, error message:AjaxControlToolkit dll is not a Microsoft module

I am repairing VS now and see if I still have the same problem; if yes, I will reinstall VS2008

Any other suggestions?

Thank you,
Rune

Please wait...I think I found the error; I requested to repair VS2008 and it told me VS2008 was corrupted. I assume the error is fixed after VS2008 is reinstalled (repaired).

I will keep you posted....

New installation done; same problem&

I can implement from AJAX Extensions; but I have not access to AjaxControlToolkit 3.5&to bring it to my toolbox (AjaxControlToolkit dll is not a Microsoft module)
I manage to install AjaxControlToolkit 3.5 into the bin without compiler error; but as soon as I reference to one of its control; Error      1      Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

For me it seems like the AjaxControlToolkit.dll (3.0.20820.0) dont fit with VS2008, SP1, 3.5 SP1&

I am running my web site on AjaxControlToolkit.dll (1.0.10123.0) with VS2008, SP1, 3.5 SP1; working fine...strange :)

Any one who is running VS2008 with SP1?
Any AjaxControlToolkit problems?

I do not manage to get access to my AjaxControlToolkit; see instructions below from codeplex. error message:AjaxControlToolkit dll is not a Microsoft module.

YES; I am using: <add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="AjaxToolkit"/>

I have Ajax Extensions: Pointer, ScriptManger, ScriptManagerProxy, Timer, UpdatePanel, UpdateProgress; this work fine with AjaxControlToolkit 3.0.20820.0

A soon as I use <AjaxToolkit:control />; I get Error      1      Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest

All my samples is running fine; because they use 1.0.10123.0

My project did run fine with 3.0.20820.0; then I had problem. Changed til 3.0.20229.0; it run fine til nothing worked. Now I manage to run my project with 1.0.10123.0

I am using EnableHistory="true"  and OnNavigate; and I thing this come in 3.0.20229.0; so how can my project run on 1.0.10123.0?

There are something really fishy here... :)

I am building a VM; to see if there is my computer how has the problem...The problem started when I had 3 VS2008 up and running at the same time with different framework 2.0, 3.5 and AjaxControlToolkit 3.0.20820.0, 3.0.20229.0, and 1.0.10123.0
