Well it's my fault. Somehow when I installed the ASPAJAXEXTSetup.msi, it installed the System.Web.Extensions.dll, System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025 folder instead of the Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll.
It works now. Any idea why the System.Web.Extensions.dll and System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll are installed instead?
I had both problems: 1) using the sample AJAX website (getting web.extensions errors) and also 2) adding the controlkit to an existing website project (getting a failure to load DLL, again from web.extensions)
I tried to install the system.web.extensions and system.web.extensions.design DLLs into the GAC. I wasn't sure what I was doing, I tried the gacutil with the /i option. But I got 'Failure adding assembly to the cache, unknown error'. So I'm not sure what
happened there.
Following that I added the DLLs to the \bin directory of the sample website and voila, it built. Although I have a security issue now which prevents me from running the site.
Unusually, in the other website I'm working on, I tried to add the control tool kit and that now worked too. So I'm not sure if it was the attempt at installing the missing DLLs into the GAC or just making references to them in the sample website that helped.
I don't understand why the AJAX installation doesn't sort this all out??? I think it could be a bug in the installer which prevents the DLLs being installed correctly. But I'm no guru on this!
