ASP.net AJAX in Portal
I am new to developing with Kentico and trying to understand how to use ASP.net AJAX and the AJAX Control Toolkit (if possible) within the Portal. Would someone please post and example of how one would add an ASP.net AJAX component to a portal page.

RE:ASP.net AJAX in Portal
I figured this out. For the benefit of other users, the way I accomplished adding an Ajax Control Toolkit Accordion control was to create a new web part, then add the control into the web part. One word of warning however, I am using VS 2008, which has .net 3.5 components installed natively. On my first try I added the control from my toolbar by dragging and dropping onto the form. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE. It took me most of the rest of the day unwinding what happened. VS added the 3.5 DLL to the project automatically and created the references to these DLLs. When I tried to build the site, I got a bunch of conflicting DLL messages. Ultimately I had to delete all the DLL's and re-add from a demo project then do the same in the references property panel.

After all that, I closely examined the web.config and found that the Ajax Control Toolkit was already a referenced assembly via the ajaxToolkit: identifier. So rather than dragging and dropping the control I hand coded <ajaxToolkit:Accordion id... ></ajaxToolkit:Accordion> and viola! I had the control I was intending to create from the get go.

RE:ASP.net AJAX in Portal
Hi,

Here you can find information about how to prepare .Net 3.5 DLL files for the latest AJAX toolkit - http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/AJAX/How-to-prepare--NET-3-5-(AJAX-3-5-0-0)-package-for.aspx

You can use AJAX in Kentico CMS in usual way as it is used in other ASP.Net applications.

RE:ASP.net AJAX in Portal
Hello,

Thanks for the response. The referenced FAQ lacks details of which I could not figure out a workaround.


5. Delete all dlls from "BIN" folder starting with "CMS". Please delete also "AjaxControlToolkit.dll", "System.Web.Extensions.dll" and "System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll".

I delete all of the CMS. dll's, however the document does not indicate to re-add the dll's or where to re-add them from so step 8 fails.

8. In the end please rebuild solution in "release" mode.


Please advise on how to accomplish the build.

RE:ASP.net AJAX in Portal
After trying this process again without deleting the CMS dll's and modifying my web.config I continue to get this error:

Error 18 Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.30729.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I modified the web.config by comparing to a working 3.5 project and making the adds/changes to the file:

RE:ASP.net AJAX in Portal
Hi again,

could you please write us a message to support@kentico.com. I will try to create a DLL package and web.config file to use the AJAX Toolkit 3.5 for you.


Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus
