• Upgrading from ASP.NET 1.1 to ASP.NET 2.0 + AJAX

  I'm trying to get back into the habit of answering customer questions via the blog so all of you get the benefit of the answer. Here's a question which showed up in my mailbox recently: "I have a very large project in ASP.NET 1.1. If I upgrade the server to ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX, will the project possibly break down in places and have to be reworked? Can you point me to the best articles/information on this?" There is some good information on MSDN, but some of it may confuse you because a fair amount of it was published prior to the release of Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

• "Atlas" 1.0 Naming and Roadmap

  Hot off the presses! Scott Guthrie has announced the new names for the ASP.NET "Atlas" technologies. The "Atlas" client script library becomes the Microsoft AJAX Library . The server controls become the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions . The "Atlas" Control Toolkit becomes ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit. Even better news... Scott shares that "Our goal is to ship the 'Atlas' 1.0 release around the end of this year. The plan is to first have a Beta, then an RC, and then decide on the final date based on customer feedback." This has been in the works for a while and I am excited that we are in a position to release a supported 1.0 version by the end of the year!

• Add “Atlas” controls to the toolbox

  The “Atlas” controls don’t get added to the Visual Studio 2005 toolbox by the either the core framework or toolkit installer. Here’s what I did to add them: Create an “Atlas” and “Atlas Control Toolkit” tab on the toolbox by doing a right-click on the toolbox surface and selecting “Add Tab” from the context menu and naming the tab accordingly. Right-click the appropriate tab surface and select “Choose Items…” from the context menu and point to the appropriate assembly The core “Atlas” assembly, Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll, is in “C:\Program Piles\Microsoft ASP.NET\Atlas\v2.0.50727\Atlas” directory on my hard drive. Yours may vary based on installation choices. I would recommend IMMEDIATELY removing the WebPartManager and WebPartZone controls from...
