Installing ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 in Windows SharePoint Services Version 3.0

This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

You must install and configure Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 to work in a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 environment. This topic describes the procedures to install and configure the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Extensions. The installation process deploys the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 assembly (System.Web.Extensions.dll) to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and also installs the Microsoft AJAX Library JavaScript files. The configuration process tells Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 how to handle Web Parts that have ASP.NET AJAX functionality. It also registers the server controls as safe for use within Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

Note that the procedure described below applies to .NET Framework 2.0. If you are using .NET Framework 3.5, change the version number in each of the XML code samples from Version=1.0.61025.0 to Version=3.5.0.0.

Important

You must complete these steps for each front-end Web server in the server farm.
