Configure asp.net site with ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit

ajaxcontroltoolkitasp.net-ajax

I have an application that has been converted from VS2005 2.0 framework to VS2008 3.5 framework. I am attempting to add the ability to use the AjaxControlToolkit DLL [AjaxControlToolkit-Framework3.5SP1-DllOnly.zip] download only within my project. I have followed the configuration setups to get the project to build, and have not been successful in getting a control to load.

How do I install and use the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit in my .NET 3.5 web applications?

Configuring ASP.NET AJAX

I am currently running into an error after adding all the web.config settings to my web application.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Configuration Error

I imagine others have had this problem, but can't find any resources that will help me fix this. Thanks in advance for the help.

That is the old version. Change the line in your web.config to use the 3.5 version:

<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

(Yes, this is a common conversion error.)
