Ajax extensions...
-
Hey all, This may be a silly question, but I haven't found a clear answer anywhere yet. I want to start using Ajax on my on-line shop, in my dev environment I have installed all the necessary bits and it works fine. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro and targeting .net 2.0 with Ajax 1.0. We don't have the Ajax extensions installed on the server yet, and we're looking at upgrading to .net 3.5 in the very near future and using Visual Studio 2008. If we just install .net 3.5 framework on the server, will I be able to use my .net 2.0 Ajax 1.0 site with the extensions included in 3.5? or do I need to install Ajax 1.0 on the server then install .net 3.5 over the top, is it even possible to use both at the same time? (I'm new to Ajax if you can't tell...) Is it worth just waiting for Visual Studio 2008 to arrive and upgrading the site to .net 3.5 and just installing that framework instead of faffing around with different versions? Cheers for any input / advice Mark

You question has nothing to do with Ajax but is specific to the products you are working with. I suggest you read the installation and compatibility information for the products to find the answers to your questions.

Hi I run the same scenario will be able to help If you would like ajax for your .net 2 applications you need to install the extensions on your server - no restart needed and it will work 100% , The ajax extensions installed on 3.5 is for 3.5 alone and not 2; .NET 3.5 works 100% with all other versions of .net and does not cause any compatibility issues since to use .net 3.5 the web.config for the application uses .net3 settings. I suggest you install .net 3.5 SP1 on your server (lots of improvements and stability) and unlike the previous versions of of .net 3.5 does not need you to run the aspnet_regiis /i command to be able to recognize the framework.

That's excellent, I had just managed to find a blog suggesting similar so that's great to have it backed up with someone who's had solid experience with it. Thanks very much for your reply. Mark

Just a quicky.. I take it I don't need to install .net 3.0 on the server before 3.5? and can I just download and install the .net 3.5 SP1 or do I need 3.5 on its own first? Sorry, just need to get it right first time as I don't have access to a test server, this is going on to our internal app server... Thanks in advance..

Most of the documentations is a heap is nonsensical gibberish and sometimes we just need a direct straight yes or no with some tips. But the move to .net 3.5 is a big and very good one , refer to some samples in http://www.asp.net/learn They have videos and samples that quickly helps you get clued up on .net 3.5 . I used it to get familiar with LINQ , and now database coding takes me half the time it would normally take, the linq syntax will just take a while to get used to but after a day of using linq you'll understand what a joy it is to code. If you are also into mapping look into the windows live toolkit downloadable from www.microsoft.com/express it has a incredibly powerfull mapping tool for .net 3.5 apps
