I migrated lots of old folders from an old PC to this new PC which I hae just installed VS 2012. The migration also included lots of VS 2010 project, some of which were using the AjaxControlToolkit. I had rebult some of these projects in VS 2012.
Now, in VIS 2012 I used NuGet and it shows AjaxControlToolkit not installed. So I used it to install the latest AjaxControlToolkit version 4.1.60919 Last Published 1/6/2013. There was no errors, and it is now shown under the Installed packages section.
I went to a VS project and Add References, but I can't see the AjaxControlToolkit. May I know where the latest installed dll can be found.
Okay... try opening one of the projects where you ran NuGet to pull down the AjaxControlToolkit and click on the arrow next to the bin folder. (If you can't see the bin folder, click on the Show All Files button at the top of the Solution Explorer window.)
If the AjaxControlToolkit file is in there, right click on the bin folder and click on the Show in Explorer Window menu item. I can't remember the exact wording but that will get you close and it should be the second from the bottom on the menu. You should
now see the dll file. Create a new folder on your desktop and copy the AjaxControlToolkit.dll file into it. Now you can use that newly copied version to drop into the bin folder of any of your projects.
Looks like NuGet will install into a packages folder in the project folder, example:
Visual Studio 2012\Projects\MyProject will contain:
MyProject (folder)
packages (folder)
MyProject.sln
MyProject.v11.suo
I don't think it is necessary to copy dll files into the bin folder manually. When added as a Reference, the
Copy Local field of the reference Properties should determine whether Build will copy it to the bin folder automatically.

Hello,
The AjaxControlToolkit dll is in your project Bin folder. You could read how to upgrade it at http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/ajax-control-toolkit/getting-started/get-started-with-the-ajax-control-toolkit-cs.

Thanks for all the fast answers. But I was asking from WHERE can I find the dll file to add as a reference, not the destination.
So NuGet is per project, and not per PC.
