Adding AJAX ToolKit for Visual Studio 2010 ToolBox.

We are planning to write a project in AJAX, thought i will share this to people who want to add AJAX toolkit to their visual studio as it doesn't come by default.

Firstly, you need to download AJAX Toolkit .NET 4 from http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/43475#DownloadId=116534

2. Once download is complete, extract AjaxControlToolkit on your computer


3. Now, Open Visual Studio 2010, Right Click anywhere on the toolbox and choose Add Tab. I have created AJAX ToolKit - Feel free to create your own.


4. Now inside the empty space of that newly created tab, right click again and click on Choose Items, then a popup will open with all references. Click on browse at the bottom, and navigate to the folder where you downloaded and extracted the AJAX tool kit files.  Select the AJAXControlToolKit.dll

5.Now you will see different types of controls are pre-selected and highlighted. Don't worry about the controls that are already selected - they wont be added again as they are already present under different tabs. P.S Don't deselect either!

6. Now you will see a little animation of all the controls being added to the toolbox, drag and drop any of those and enjoy using them.!!!!!

One last thing, if you need help on how to use these or get a demo of these controls. Here is the link...

Good luck! Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
