I am trying to add the toolkit to my server's web.config so that I do not have to register the toolkit on each page that I use the extenders on. I have added the following config items but am receiving the error listed below when I attempt to use a control. Is there an issue with using the extenders on master pages? Everything works fine from a VWD perspective, intellisense picks up the toolkit controls just fine. The error only occurs on the server. Any help would be greatly apprectiately.
I have added the following to the <compilation><assemblies> section:
<add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit, Version=1.0.10618.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e"/>
I have also added the following within the <system.web> section:
<pages>
<controls>
<add namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" />
</controls>
</pages>
Error text:

The problem turned out to be an issue with the AJAX Extension configuration in the web.config. To fix it I just copied the info from the web.config from the Extensions install directory.
I am trying to do this right now too. Could you provide a little more detail about your fix? Where is the Extensions install directory? And what info did you copy from the web.config?
Also, how do I determine what the proper assembly info to use (i.e. version# and public key token...)
Thanks!
The path for the Extensions install directory on my dev machine is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025
That should be the default path for the AJAX Extensions installer.
Located in that folder should be a web.config file. All of the info in there needs to be copied into the web.config for your app. You'll have to make sure you aren't duplicating sections if you just paste the whole bit in your config. Posted below is a direct copy of the web.config for your convenience.
As for the issue of knowing which version and public token, I just take those from the samples. In the case of the Extensions, the config below lists the correct info and you shouldn't have to change it. For the case of the toolkit, the version will be the same as the release you are currently using. As for the public token, I'm not entirely sure about that as I have not updated my toolkit to the newest release. If you figure that out post back here to have it documented. (I'll do the same when I upgrade)
I hope this helps solve your issue.
