    Let's see if I got this right:

    I have installed Atlas April CTP. Now I wanted to use Atlas Control Toolkit. Something is missing because IntelliSense wont recognize all the tags and when I try to build my app I get an errormessage about PopControlExtender (Unknown Server Tag: act:PopUpControExtender). I extracted the toolkit files and copied the AtlasControlToolkit.dll to my app's bin-directory and made an reference to it. I also registered the assembly in my aspx:

    <%@ Register Assembly="AtlasControlToolkit" Namespace="AtlasControlToolkit" TagPrefix="atlasToolkit" %>

    Then there is also ScriptManager definition in my aspx as well:

    <

    atlas:scriptmanager id="ScriptManager" runat="server"

    enablepartialrendering="true" />

    I also added ACT to my toolbox (I'm using Visual Web Developer) and whenever I try to drag an control to aspx-page, I get an error message: "Control cannot be created because Visual Studio cannot find the control's type in the control assembly". 

    So there you go. What steps do I need to make in order to make this thing work ?

    The prefix needs to match what you've registered.  Your registration is using the prefix "atlasToolkit", so "atlasToolkit:PopupControlExtender" should work.

    The other error you get is something people sometimes see on first installing, I haven't been able to figure out why.  In almost every case restarting VWD does the trick.

    Well, no luck. This is what I registered:

    <%@ Register Assembly="AtlasControlToolkit" Namespace="AtlasControlToolkit" TagPrefix="atlasToolkit" %>

    and this is what I use in the code:

    <atlasToolkit:PopupControlExtender ID="pceCalendar" runat="server">
    .........

    and this is what I get:

    Error 102 Element 'PopupControlExtender' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site.

    When I look at the IntelliSense menu, I can only see one item related to ACT: atlasToolkit:ReorderList. Should I see more ?

    I finally figured out ...

    After the first install there seems to be another file to be installed, AtlasControlToolkit.exe. Installing  this another file extracts a dll which has to be copied to app's bin-directory. Name of this file is Microsoft.AtlasControlExtender.dll.

    So my bin-directory contains actually three files:

    AtlasControlToolkit.dll

    Microsoft.AtlasControlExtender.dll

    Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll

    And I have also made references to those dlls

    Now I got the IntelliSense working and my PopUpCalendar too.
