I host my application on a remote server, who runs ASP.NET 2.0

What Ajax extensions do i need to put there to enable Ajax.

On my desktop the application runs smoothely, as i installed Ajax extensions here, but i cant install nothing on the server. What should i put there to enable Ajax?

thanks

Hey man. I'm not quite sure what your problem is as you didn't provide much details, but if it's just the needed files and also the issue about the GAC, then this is what I'm answering here.

Look, provided that you installed the extensions (the core) and the futures CTP (you should find them with these same names in the ASP.NET ajax download page) into your own machine, you can go to your installation location (typically "\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025"), and pick the DLLs there, and send them to the "\bin" folder of your remote site (the version deployed on the server).

Well, this is strictly stated by Microsoft as a "not supported" scenario since ASP.NET BETA1, but, it does work great - for me at least. I do use the futures CTP and toolkit BTW. The one case I didn't try myself and think it "might" not work that good is when you have services proxies for mashups (if you don't know what that is, you're just fine, otherwise try it and tell me).

Just watch out to do this on a machine that has any version of ASP.NET AJAX installed as it'd conflict with it. (typically this rule would apply to your own machine, unless you uninstall it after copying the DLLs).

Hi and Thanks for the reply

I did copy the relevant dll-s to the /Bin, but the problem remains the same. To be more specific, whenever i add the <asp:scriptmanager> tags to my aspx page, i get that error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hey Guys, Be sure, more than 99.99% of servers don't run AJAX in their GAC (at least because it's CTP in some part).

So, all of us need to run DLL's into /Bin folder of the Web Application. But, it's not the End, we also need to add some Tag mapping in web.config Configuration file.

After updating about 10 times (!) Atlas and AJAX I do suggest you to do so:

Make a Backup copy of your current web.config (if you have multiple web.config in separate folders of you application, you just need to change the one in the Application's root folder), then copy the web.config file from the extension's folder. Note that if you want to use the AJAX futures preview, copy the web.config of your CTP folder:

For AJAX extension copy from (default location): C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.Net\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v.1.0.61025\web.config

For AJAX Futures Preview (January CTP): C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.Net\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Futures January CTP\v.1.0.61025\web_CTP.config   (Note that you have to rename it to web.config)

then, open your old web.config and copy your custom settings back to the newly copied web.config file. if it fails, just restore your web.config back to the original one.

Copy all DLLs in folders you just copied the web.config from, (if you want the preview, you have to copy DLLs from the Extension's folder too, but not vice versa).

Heres the DLL list you have to copy:

• System.Web.Extensions.dll (1.0.6131.0)
• (Optional for preview) Microsoft.Web.Preview.dll (1.0.61231.0)

and if you need AJAX Control toolkit too, copy the Control toolkit into your /bin.

That's it! you've done.

Do you know why I would get this error when I try to use a control from the toolkit?

I am still having the same error.  i have included the System.Web.Extensions.dll and directly copied over the web.config (on a test site).  I have tried including all the other dll's (design, toolkit) as well.  Do i need to copy any of the other files over?  

After adding a reference to the dll and updating the web.config, I still get the :
