Atlas

Hi

Can you tell me which version of ATLAS you are running on your hosting packages?

Many thanks

Catalyst2 do not have any asp.net ajax components installed on their servers. You can however use atlas on your site. Please see their getting started section of http://ajax.asp.net/default.aspx?tabid=47 for more information

The link points to the ASP.NET AJAX Beta 2 release.

I've installed this on my machine and have my application working using this release.

This release installed the ASP.NET AJAX assemblies into the GAC.

Can you tell me if your hosting packages have the ASP.NET AJAX assemblies installed in the GAC?, as Microsoft now only supports this and is therefore required for ASP.NET AJAX work.

WhiskyFudge · 16-11-2006, 09:11 PM

I've had yet had chance to play with any of the beta's. Please could you show me where it states that Microsoft will only support GAC installations. This is something that does surprise me as whilst I know that a lot of this stuff will be added to .net 3.5/4.0 (what ever name they choose), there is currently no reason why it needs to be installed into the GAC.

Catalyst2 will not install beta grade software on to their servers. If the GAC requirements are genuine you will have to wait for the for the product to RTM.

These are the release notes:

Release Notes for Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions
---------------------------------------------
Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions is the new name for the ASP.NET technology code-named "Atlas". To provide feedback, please use the "AJAX Discussion and Suggestions" forum on http://forums.asp.net.

This release includes the core client framework, the client type system, Web method calls using HTTP POST and GET via the networking stack, and the ScriptManager, UpdatePanel and Timer controls. Additional functionality will be added in later releases.

A companion release, the ASP.NET AJAX Community Technology Preview (CTP), provides additional features from previous "Atlas" CTPs that are still in a development phase. You can download the ASP.NET AJAX CTP from http://ajax.asp.net.

Installation
------------
From Windows Explorer, launch ASPAJAXExtSetup.msi.

For silent or unattended installation, from a command prompt, enter the following command:

msiexec /i Atlas.msi [/q] [/log <logfilename>] [INSTALLPATH=<installation path>]

where:

- <logfilename> is the path and file name of an optional log file.
- <installation path> is an optional installation path to install under.

Changes and Known Issues
------------------------

- The tag prefix for controls has changed from <atlas:> to <asp:>. Pages using the
older prefix to reference "Atlas" controls will need to be changed.

- The ASP.NET AJAX assembly DLL has changed from Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll to
Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll. This assembly is now strong-name signed and
is installed in the GAC during installation. It is no longer necessary or
supported to include the Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll assembly in a Web project's
local Bin folder.

WhiskyFudge · 17-11-2006, 09:03 AM

One day I'm convinced Microsoft will work out what shared hosting is!

If you want to use ASP.net AJAX I suggest you try including the Microsoft.Web.Ajax.dll with your local site. This should (depending on how Microsoft made the assembly) still work.

I will try to find time to play with the latest bits some time next week. I would be interested in hearing your progress with it.

Once ASP.net AJAX does RTM it will get installed on Catalyst2's servers.

I can confirm once its RTM'ed we will be installing it

WhiskyFudge · 10-01-2007, 07:14 PM

Atlas has not RTM'd as of yet. To my knowlege there is no release date or even rumors of a release date yet. Once it's installed I'll make sure the forums are updated.
