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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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?
