Adding AjaxControlToolkit.config file to ASP.NET project

Question

User1928442140 posted

I am trying to add a file - AjaxControlToolkit.config to the root of the application in ASP.NET and when i type in the first tag <ajaxControlToolkit> in that config file, it gives me an error saying the element is not declared.  I tried to build and rebuild the project but no luck. Do i need to declare something in the web.config. i added CombineScriptsHandler.axd in the web.config.
All the ajax controls work as expected when i run the project but i wanted to speed it up a bit by creating the ajaxControlToolkit.config file but i can`t.
Am i missing something?

Thanks for your reply

Hi pecko2006,

Thank you post the issue to asp.net forum.

According to your description, I see you want to define an AjaxControlToolkit.config file and define the control bundles

for improve your web ability.

<ajaxControlToolkit>
  <controlBundles>
    <controlBundle>
      <control name="CalendarExtender" />
      <control name="ComboBox" />
    </controlBundle>
    <controlBundle name="CalendarBundle">
      <control name="CalendarExtender"></control>
    </controlBundle>
  </controlBundles>
</ajaxControlToolkit>

For this issue, Stephen has writed an article for how to do it.

Hi Fuxiang

Thanks for your reply.

I followed Stephen instructions but when i type in the <ajaxControlToolkit> up the top, i get a blue squiggly line underneath saying "the tag element is not declared". The project builds successfully but the blue line is not going away, therefore  i am not sure if the ajaxControlToolkit.config file is effective or not.

Cheers

Hi,

The blue line is only Visual Studios way of saying that it can not find any source for the intellisence functionality, so the file may still be ok but you won't get any intellisence.

Best regards
