How do I start using AJAX controls on an existing project?

I went through the video tutorial where it had me open a template project, then add a confirmbuttonextender which worked very well. I noticed when i opened the template on the aspx page by following the videos instructions, it already contained a scriptmanager. On my existing poject I do the same steps to setup the button control, only this time i manually added a scriptmanager, but my button does nothing. Is there something i have to do to my project to enable it to Use the AJAX controls or something I have to do to the scriptmanager?

also there is a confiuration.

the best way to start using AJAX controls on an existing project . open an ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site . then add the pages in the existing project.

ok i opened a new asp.net ajax web enabled site and added all the items form my other project, but the control still does nothing. Any other ideas i can try?

Hi, I try this way several times. I had several project and do this way.

note: don't add the web.config file from the exist project.

is ther an error appear to you?

It works! I was reloading my old web config file. Thanks for your help.

I started by...

Downloaded the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit and load it's sample website into an instance of vs2005. You can run the sample website in debug mode and copy/paste desired code segments directly into your application. After you get the hang of specific controls then you can pick them directly from your AJAX Control Toolkit tab on the tools browser. This process will also helps in understanding the usage of the update panel.

PS - check out my schools site at:www.jeromessite.com.

If you like the way it works the let me know and I will direct you to the source code.

Thanks,

How do I add ATLAS feature to an existing ASP.NET 2.0 Web Application?

Hi all,

Can some one provide me the steps needed to add ATLAS features to an existing ASP.NET 2.0 Web Application?

I saw the video "Developing ASP.NET 2.0 Applications using "Atlas"" byScott Guthriewhere he explained how to add ATLAS features to the To-do application. But to start with, he created anATLAS WEBSITE PROJECTand started modifying it.

I see that the config file is very important for ATLAS to function correctly. What other dependency is there? How do I create an ATLAS enabled "Web application"?

Most importantly, if i have an ASP.NET 2.0 Web Application, how do i add ATLAS features to it?

Thankx in advance

Jacob

from other thread:

ScottGu:

The easiest approach might be to create a newweb-site using the Atlas template, and then copy the resultingAtlas.dll into the \bin directory of your existing application andintegrate the web.config file changes in as well. Then you should begood to go.

Hope this helps,

Scott

hello.

well, you must:

1. add the atlas dll to the bin folder and
2. add the necessary entries to the web.config file

note that you can get the dll from the installation folder (normally, program files\microsoft asp.ent\atlas\v...\atlas and you can also see the necessary web.config entries by opening the web.config file that exists on that dir.

Hi luis,

Thankx for the information. However, this i what is had figured too. I had tried this earlier but some how, it did not seem to be working.

I was looking to see if some one has already done this, and can specify the detailed steps, including the web.config changes etc..

did you ever try to do this? Were u able to make it work? I wanted to use the new 'atlas' control toolkit. Do u think it would be easy to integrate this to an existing web application?

What difference are there between an ASP.NET 2.0 Web Application and ATLAS Website Project provided by the visual studio? Is that only the web.config which differs?

thankx

Jacob
