Microsoft is not extending the Mainstream Support phase for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 in any way. Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 has transitioned to Extended Support which runs through March 31, 2008. However, we are releasing this non-security related package because it contains improvements that were ready for release just prior to the end of Mainstream Support. Mainstream Support for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 ended on March 31, 2005.
This package is provided under the terms of the End User License Agreement and is intended for the following customers:
This package will not install these Common Controls if they do not already exist on the target system.
You will see in your Choose Toolbox window many new Controls have been added. Find in your Ajax toolkit AjaxControlToolkit.dll and add it (open it). (You'll see in the file name we need to includ the. Click on Browse and go to your Unzipped Ajax toolkit. Look at the following images that makes things clear.įrom Choose Toolbox items you need to browse to your Ajax Toolkit that you downloaded and unzipped. Right-click on the Ajax Control Toolkit tab then choose Items and you will get the “Choose Toolbox Items” window. (There's already a tab for the AJAX Extension in your toolbox but it has very few controls and due to that we are installing an entirely new Ajax Toolkit). Now, the name of that tab is "Ajax Control Toolkit". In that blank area, right-click and seelct Add tab. go to the bottom part where you see “General” as the last control, after blank spaces are there. So just go to your website and select Add New Item -> Web form.) (For those who have create an empty website, they need to first create a web form and only then can they see the toolbox item.
Open your toolbox (CTRL+ ALT + X) in Visual Studio10. Then, open Visual Studio and create an empty website or you can open your working website where you want to add Ajax. If you are using a newer version of Visual Studio you can still load the solutions and it will compile just fine.
The file you downloaded is in Zip format, so first unzip it to anywhere you want. Full source code for all the controls and components is included along with Visual Studio project and solution files for 2005, 20 versions of Visual Studio. Now, just sit back for few minutes for the download to finish. There you will find ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit v15.1. Just click on that and your download will start. Open your browser and go to the official website of Ajax toolkit ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.
That makes less traffic, smaller updates and less time sitting around waiting for page refreshes.įor making your IDE compatible with Ajax, we need to install the Ajax Toolkit in Visual Studio. With traditional web pages and applications, every time a user clicks on something (such as a Submit Button), the browser sends a request to the server and the server responds with an entirely new page.īut by using “Ajax”, your pages and applications only ask the server for what they really need, just the parts of a page that need to change and just the parts that the server must provide. The question is, “How would you do that?” Don't worry, the answer is "AJAX". If you are frustrated from those clunky web application interfaces, then it's time to provide some push to your web apps into some slick, responsive feel direction.
