Ajax Enable Existing ASP.NET Application

Hizzzz,

I have watched some videos about Ajax and found it very interesting and especially to Ajax enable already exists ASP.NET application. I am sharing this topic in specific since I believe many of us have their ASP.NET applications and they want to Ajax enable it and use features of Ajax technology without rewriting the application from scratch with the Ajax controls.

Here are the simple steps you need to follow to Ajax enable your ASP.NET application:

1. Install the ASP.NET Ajax extensions from this link http://www.asp.net/ajax/downloads/

2. Open your ASP.NET application.

3. Open the web.config file

4. You have to modify your web.config file, i couldn't post the code here because the editor is not accepting it, as an alternative, open Visual Sudio and create new web site and select "ASP.NET Ajax Enabled Site" as an empty project and copy the generated web.config file content.

5. Now go to the Ajax Extensions tab in the Toolbox and drag and drop Script Manager Control.

6. And finally drag and drop UpdatePanel control and put all the controls you want
to Ajax it inside this panel.

7. That’s it, now your application is Ajax enabled. You will see that when posting pack the page, only the controls inside the panel are being updated and not the whole page.

Happy Ajax Time.

Regards,
