    Using Visual Web Designer 2008 Express Edition and Expressions Web...

    I would like to play with the AJAX control "Colapsable Content", but the installation of the "ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit" failed and indicated I do not have the right visual studio to install.  I tried installing ver. 1 (for VS 2005) and then ver. 3 (for VWD 2008) as instructed, but both failed.

    I presume the problem is that the Control Toolkit only works with the full version of Visual Web Designer 2008?

    Please advise

    Thanks, Bob

    I don't really have a solution to your problem but I can at least verify for you that I have the AJAX Control Toolkit installed in VWD2008. So it is not a restriction, looks like a installation problem instead.

    Do you have more than one version of VS installed?

    I have ordered VS2008 Pro and downloaded the 90 day trial, although not installed it yet.

    Yes, I have many versions of VS on my System, VS 2005 Pro, VS 2005 Express, VWD 2008, xWeb and xWeb beta.

    I am getting the tool kit from http://asp.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=62 which states you must install version 1 (if you hover your mouse over it) before version 3.5.  How do you tell if you have version 1 installed?  VWD has a few Ajax controls, but I have never explicidly download version 1.

    I will try installing again (maybe after VS2008 is installed).

     Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Bob

    I have the same problem here : whatever the solution I try, I can't have AJAX Control Toolkit work in VWD 2008 Express.

    AjaxControlExtender.vsi fails.

    And when I add AjaxControlToolkit.dll to a newly created toolbar, it works...but I have compilation errors when I use one of its controls in my project.

     

    Can someone point me to a step by step guide on how to install and use the AJAX Control Toolkit with VWD 2008 Express ? I'm very curious to know what I am doing wrong...

    For example, when I add a Calendar Extender control and launch my page, I have the folowwing error :

    Unknown server tag 'cc1:calendarextender'

     

    Here is the source code for my page :

     

     

    <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Test.aspx.vb" Inherits="Test" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

    It looks like the problem was coming from the fact that my project was hosted on a shared point. My 'My Documents' folder lies on a server and is synchronized when I log out.

     I've created a project locally (on C:\) and AJAX Control Toolkit works perfectly. I still have the .vsi errors, obviously, but adding and using the controls works great.

    I'll probably have to make another thread to clarify that situation because this is now out-topic : VWD Express 2008 is not in cause.

    The problem has been solved. Go to http://asp.net/ajax/ and a) click the download essentials button and b) download and install ASP.NET AJAX Extensions 1.0. This is an .msi file so installation is fine. Then download and install which version of the toolkit you need and install it. This is not easy to do (it is not an .msi file), so follow step by step the first and/or 2nd video at http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/ concerning installation. Everything went fine. Thanks for your help Bob
