I have searched for days trying to find answers about how to configure AJAX Toolkit to work on my ASP.NET VB.NET site. I am having issues both with my development machine and on my hosing site. I cannot find a good reference on the settings for the web.config file, and the reference in my webpage that will allow the controls to work. Here is as much information that I have and I suspect most of it is wrong. If anyone is actually using AJAXToolkit that comes with Visual Studio 2015 and could provide some guidance I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the information I have.

My Configuration. * Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (64bit) * Hosting with GoDaddy who says they support AJAX but does not say if that is AJAX TOOLKIT. * ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit Version 1.0 * .NET FRAMEWORK 4.1.41102.0 * Development in ASP.NET VB.NET code behind pages. * AJAX toolkit has been installed on my development workstation version 17.1.0.0 web.config file has not been modified to reference AJAXToolkit as I have not found a good example for this version of AJAXtoolkit.

I have added the following lines to my web.config file in the following areas.

<assemblies>
<add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit, Version=17.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e"/>
</assemblies>

<controls>
   <add tagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" assembly="AjaxControlToolkit, Version=17.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e"/>
</controls>

On my test page in the header section.

I am actually amazed at how confusing this is. It almost appears that Microsoft has abandoned or never actually adopted AJAX. One would think that simply dropping a component from the Tool Bar into your application should actually work. But I have discovered that is far from the truth.

I have ventured down many different paths to resolve a problem on my site and the AJAX Tools will resolve it if only I can get any one of them to work.

Your help again is greatly appreciated.

In all my pages I simply have this directive: <%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="act" %> and have included AjaxControlToolkit in my project references

  • Adding this line <%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="act" %> in the page header area or any place in the page does not produce an error but when I try to add an Ajax Control Item I get "A ScriptManager is required on the page to use ASP.NET AJAX Script Components" – Mike Adkins Jul 24 '17 at 03:26
