I read your blog for asp.net 2.0. I wonder if you have solution about this problem.I am using framework 3.5 and ajaxtoolkit 3.0.30930.

I would like to load ajaxtoolkit javascript files from a directory. I download the scripts from here AJAX Control Toolkit – Script Files Only .

Created two subdirectories on my .net project

\scriptsAJAX\System.Web.Extensions\3.5.0.0\3.5.30729.196\

I copied these two files on he above directory: MicrosoftAjax.debug.js and MicrosoftAjax.js

\scriptsAJAX\AjaxControlToolkit

The above folder has all the script files (*js) that i download from ajax control toolkit

Now I set the ScriptPath property on ScriptManager to ScriptPath=”~/scriptsajax”

I have a very sample test page that has DropDownList and CalendarExtender. When I browse the page then I get these errors:

Error: ASP.NET Ajax client-side framework failed to load.

Error: ‘Sys’ is undefined

Yes I did register

Could someone help me to solve this problem.What files is it missing?
Thank you

I get “Warning:Unresponsive script
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.” on my web site. If I click on the Continue button I get what I wanted, but the time it takes can not be tolerated.

The script in question is MicrosoftAjax.js
Can anyone tell me why do I get this warning and how do I eliminate it?

Ajax is a great tool but… Microsoft AJAX JavaScript runtime files (MicrosoftAjax.js and MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js) have been loaded once for each page. That is the main disadvantage of using Ajax: loading a page is weighted with additional size of those two JavaScript files. Is it possible to load those files only one time and then reuse them for each page in application? By using cache for example?

Damian,

I added the Java Script files and I get an exception thrown that it cant find the files it wants. It is looking in
Scripts/System.Web.Extensions/2.0.0.0/MicrosoftAjax.debug.js

instead of
Scripts/System.Web.Extensions/1.0.61025.0/

Do you have any idea why it is ooking for 2.0.0.0 and where do i need to change it? I looked in my code and 2.0.0.0 is only used for famework stuff as expected.

If I change my directory name to 2.0.0.0, everything works fine.

Thanks!

In the final release Microsoft have made this a lot easier since they have pre-structured their directories as required. In order to get this to work you need only copy MicrosoftAjaxLibrary from C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025 to your application directory, and set up your ScriptPath to point to ~/MicrosoftAjaxLibrary
