AJAX and webprojects?

[Guest]

I have a solution with four webprojects developed in Visual Studio 2003.
It is upgraded to Visual Studio Team System 2005 / Framework 2.0.

Now I tried to AJAX enable one of the web projects.

1) I installed AJAX and did a demo based on Scotts ToDo demo application. It
worked fine.
2) Then I carefully copied all sections from the web.config file of the demo
to my real project.
3) I added ScriptManager and UpdatePanel to one very simple web page. It
complained that the assemblies were not available.
4) I added System.Web.Extensions and System.Web.Extensions.Designer to my
project references. The errors disappeared and the solution compiled.

But when I run, it does not work!
The application compiles and work but the AJAX enabling makes no difference.
I still get all the roundtrips that I intended to avoid.
I have checked my web.config several times for possible mistakes, but found
nothing.

Is it not possible to run AJAX on old style "webprojects"?
All examples I have seen so far are based on VS2005 "web sites".

It will work with the Web Application Project. I got it running after a bit of trial and errror as well. Adding the following config handlers worked well for me:

<httpHandlers>

<add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false"/>

</httpHandlers>

<httpModules>

<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

</httpModules>



Something to keep in mind, there are actually a lot of bad examples of these config settings out there since a lot of them are for the beta releases. I've seen this configuration recommended as well (http://ajax.asp.net/files/Migration_Guide_Beta2_to_RC.aspx) but the lines I mentioned before worked.

I think you'll find Gaia Ajax Widgets easier to use...
http://ajaxwidgets.com

Check out any of the samples like e.g.:
http://ajaxwidgets.com/AllControlsSamples/LogoCreator.aspx
http://ajaxwidgets.com/AllControlsSamples/CalendarWebApplicationWithDateTimePicker.aspx
or
http://ajaxwidgets.com/AllControlsSamples/LiveMapsMashup.aspx (works
only in IE since it builds on LiveMaps that's not 100% FF comptible)

Hi,

ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 should be supported in Web Application Project.

To try this another way: you can create a simple AJAX enabled web site and
compare those sections in web.config. Or you can copy those sections from
your web.config into AJAX created default web.config and copy it back to
your web project.

#ASP.NET AJAX > Configuring ASP.NET AJAX

Please feel free to let us know if there's anything unclear. Thanks.

No problem there.
I already have these settings identical.

This approach was helpful.
I copied the real web.config into the demo project and it got the same
problems!
I had already checked that all AJAX sections were identical, so now I tried
to remove all other settings one by one.

The one that did the difference was:
<xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"/>

I never put it there and never heard of it before!
When looking on the web I found a helpful explanation on Scotts blog
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/arch...onformance-mode-legacy-with-asp-net-ajax.aspx
