web application project and ajax

Hi, Sorry am a little confused about the whole thing, but do I need to create a ajax enabled web site to use ajax? What about a web application projects? The reason I ask is the project is already created but I would like to implement some ajax functionality into it.

If this is possible, what do I need to do?

Thanks in advance

Hi there!

After installing Microsoft's Ajax you'll find a new project template "ASP.Net AJAX Enabled Web Application". It differs from the "ASP.Net Web Application" template in some Web.config entries (e.g. it registers assemblies, asynchronous handlers, and a web module), a new Default.aspx template (with a ScriptManager on the page) and a project assembly reference. To Ajax-enable an existing web application project just duplicate these entries in your Web.config and reference System.Web.Extensions.

There happened to be a FAQ entry on the official Atlas/Ajax site dealing with this in detail, but I can't find it at the moment...

HTH and best regards,
