AjaxControlKit in .NET 2.0 from Visual Studio 2008

Question

I am working on a project which was developed in Visual Studio 2005 (.NET 2.0). I have Visual Studio 2008 and on opening the solution the files are converted to older framework.

But the project uses a AjaxControlKit which I guess is not available by default in ASP.NET 2.0 and hence it throws an error that a reference/library is missing on conversion and compiling it in 2008.

Any library/ reference can be added to solve this ? where can I find it?

the AjaxControlToolkit is not included in the base .Net framework, you need to install it on your development machine.

You can find more information on the AjaxTookit site

But by default ASP.NET 3.5 has the ajax kit. I have visual Studio 2008 – user46795 Jan 10 '09 at 12:22
I believe that it is an extra download from the ASP.NET AJAX web site (or Codeplex). – tvanfosson Jan 10 '09 at 12:29

yes it is, ajax extensions are installed with vs 2008, not the control toolkit. – Tom Anderson Jan 10 '09 at 14:29

Are you getting the error during the conversion process or when you attempt to compile the converted application? Have you tried removing the reference and re-adding it? Removing it before conversion, upgrading to .NET 3.5 and adding the newer, 3.5-dependent version back in?

I get the error when I compile the converted application. I'll try adding the reference and see. – user46795 Mar 21 '09 at 18:16
