ASP.Net - How do I add an AJAX Form to my Web Application?

[gep13]

The answer to this question really depends on which version of Visual Studio you are using.

Visual Studio 2005
This is achieved by using the AJAX Enabled Web Application Template from within the New Project Dialog.

// TODO: Need to add an image here, however, don't have Visual Studio 2005 Installed

This will then add all the necessary references that are required to begin creating an AJAX Enabled Web Application.

Visual Studio 2008
The AJAX Enabled Web Application Template no longer exists in Visual Studio 2008, but rather, you are able to add an AJAX Web Form to any Web Application that you are currently using. This is achieved by:

• Right click on your project
• Select Add | New Item
• In the Add New Item Dialog Select "Web" under Categories
• Select AJAX Web Form under Templates

This will now add all the necessary references that are required for adding AJAX functionality to your page.
