I REALLY dont want to start over with all i've done just to enable ajax... i understand that it's a matter of editing my web.config, but i've tried it several times and all i've gotten was build errors.... any chance someone can post an ajax enabled web.config with my parameters in there? I'd sooooooooo appreciate it!!

Thanks!

Well, i tried following that, and i got like 50 errors that i put things in the wrong place...

See the link for configuring AJAX

http://www.asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/ConfiguringASPNETAJAX.aspx

Can you post what kind of error you are getting,

So it will be more helpful to solve your problem

OK, this is what i put in my web.config, and i am getting a ton of errors like

 Element 'ScriptManager' is not a known element. , acctually, every control inside an updatepanel on my page gets this error.

Do you have VS SP1 installed as well as the AJAX 1.0 framework? See: http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2007/08/06/114452.aspx

Wow, i sure do home you're right, cause this is the most painful upgrade i've ever dealt with... it's been 2 hours at 100% cpu usage, and the installer is still gathering required information... and yes, i've rebooted... this is freakin terrible!

Yea, make sure nothing else is running when installing VS SP1. 

-Damien

 Well, that was extremely painful to watch... but there no more errors...  BUT... ajax still isnt working.

I tried a new page with a simple update panel and progress panel with a system.threading.thread.sleep(3000), and i got no progress popup...

Any ideas now? 

Try creating a new, small "ASP.NET AJAX Enabled Web Application" project to see if that works...

-Damien

Yes, it does work. 

Take the web.config from the working site and modify it with the settings from your old file (e.g. connectionStrings, etc).  Now add the web.config to your actual site and see if that solves your issue.

-Damien

Awesome! Its working!!

Now i just need some help with what im doing with it, but i'll save that for another post.. ;)
