How can I add a Microsoft AJAX auto-loading textbox to an existing ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 web application project?

I played with this years ago when it was "atlas". Now I want to use it, I assumed it would be in VS Toolbox. Now all I can find on the internet is complete confusion!

Thank.

Have you downloaded the AJAX Control Toolkit? It's available on CodePlex. Once you do this and place the toolkit dll in your bin folder, you can start using it.

I don't know how to do this using Ajax.Net. However, I love to use jQuery for as many Ajax / JavaScript files as possible. it is clean, simple and fast.

So, can I recommend the jQuery Autocomplete plugin? http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm



Edit: So there is an Ajax.net version There is a tutorial here: http://www.asp.net/learn/AJAX-videos/video-122.aspx

I agree with Damien , now that jQuery is pretty much (or will become) ubiquitous across any .NET toolbox. I would recommend the jQuery autocomplete plugin. I got it up and running in 30 minutes.

Here's a link to a sample autocomplete for the AJAX Control toolkit . It's a bit tricky to set up because you need to configure and maintain the web service. If I was starting from scratch, I would probably use Damien's jQuery method. I wouldn't be surprised if the next version of the AJAX Control Toolkit has been rewritten using jQuery since the ScottGu team approved it last October.

If you run into bizarre scripting errors after integrating AjaxControlToolkit into an existing site, check that you have configured your web.config correctly (including version numbers for referenced assemblies). You might want to create a new "dummy" AJAX website in Visual Studio using the AJAX template to see what you need in the web.config.

I found the AJAX Control Toolkit solution very slow. Of course, I am open because it is my fault. We already bought a set of Telerik controls and used them, which had good performance.
