AJAX Control Toolkit Installation
This Tutorial will show you how to install the AJAX Control Toolkit
Introduction
This tutorial will teach you how to download and setup the AJAX Control Toolkit. The AJAX Control Toolkit is a set of controls designed to make Web Forms seem more like windows forms to users. It allows Partial Page Updating which updates Controls on the Web Form without initiating a full PostBack. The AJAX Control Toolkit is completely free and takes up relatively low space on the hard drive, while still being a compelling add-on for any Web Developer.
I just signed up at Server Intellect and couldn't be more pleased with my Fully Scalable & Redundant Cloud Hosting! Check it out and see for yourself.

We used over 10 web hosting companies before we found Server Intellect. Our new cloud server,was set up in less than 24 hours. We were able to confirm our order over the phone. They responded to our inquiries within an hour. Server Intellect's customer support and assistance are the best we've ever experienced.
