Proper way to deploy ajax to Production server

Our server currently has .net 2.0 and we would like to upgrade it to allow AJAX. What is the proper way to deploy ajax to a Production server? Will old .net applications on the server be affected?

Eric

You need to run the same installers on your server that you ran on your development machine to install AJAX. It installs strongly named DLLs into the Global Assembly Cache, so you can't just put the DLL in your web app's /bin folder.

Old .net apps should not be affected, since AJAX is an extension, which must be referenced by a project in order to be used.


Just run the installer. The System.Web.Extensions dll is separate from the rest of the framework so it won't change .NET 2.0 behavior.

I take it we need to update the .Net framework on the server to 3.0 first?

Eric


Nope.
