Need HELP with Ajax and Visual Studio 2003!

Dear guys,

Well i was tying to find what i need in this amazing forum, but as u can see, there are +4000 pages!

so i prefer to post the request and wish anyone of you can help please.

well i wondering if i can use Ajax with Visual Studio 2003. as the company iam working on still do not want change to 2005 version of VB cause their website can not work with the 2005!!

anyway, is there a way i can make them work together, Ajax with VB.NET 2003? and what should i instal?

thanks very much in advance

Hi,

ASP.NET AJAX, the server controls like UpdatePanel, need .NET 2.0, which isn't supported in VS.NET 2003.

However you can also grab the Microsoft AJAX library, which are only the client side .js scripts that you can use. They also can be used in conjunction with PHP for example so it should also work with .NET 1.x webservices:http://smarx.com/posts/php-for-microsoft-ajax-library.aspx.

Cheers mate,

well i will try to check on google ... but as i said, its the comapany website, and they using VB.NET and ASPX so i can not use PHP, i think even their server dont support PHP but still thanks a lot

hello.

well, the microsoft ajax library contains only client js files. this means that you can use them from whatever platform you want. take into attention that the library contains only client utilities. the server side controls can only be used from asp.net 2.0 sites.

after rereading my former reply I noticed also that it could be misread, sorry for that. I meant indeed that the client scripts can be reused but only the server controls run on .NET 2.0.

Thanks man,

Hi,

if it runs .NET 2.0 you could install the Extensions and have your webservice decorated with the [ScriptService] attribute. In your ASP.NET 1.x application you can then use only the client side scripts (called Microsoft AJAX Library) to AJAXy call the webservices. Just an idea.
