Problem using Ajax with Visual Studio 2010

I published this problem sometime ago. Someone showed me how to use jquery instead of ajax controls to solve my problem so I accepted that answer. I now find that I need ajax controls once again. In particular the AsyncFileUpload control because FileUpLoad is not working for me. So here is the issue again, slightly revised.

I am trying to add Ajax controls to my VS 2010 project. I have previously gotten it to work when I used VS2008. I keep getting this exception:

 Error  1   The type 'System.Web.UI.ScriptControl' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

Here’s what I did. I downloaded the ajax 4 toolkit and added a reference to the project. I also added a reference to system.web extension to my project. When I do this these lines get added to my web.config.

<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

I added these lines to my aspx file. 

<%@ Register assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagprefix="cc1" %>

And 

<cc1:AsyncFileUpload ID="afuMine" runat="server" />
</asp:Content>

The obvious thing to try is to add a reference to System.Web.Extensions. Unfortunately that didn't help.

I also backed off and tried ajax 3.5, this didn’t help. I did notice that the ajax dll is 4.1 while the 'System.Web.Extensions is 4.0. I don’t know if this matters but I cannot find ajax 4.0 or 'System.Web.Extensions 4.1. Thanks once again in advance.

I found the answer in another forum and I wanted to share it with you. Like the poster, I'm not sure why it worked.

You referenced the System.Web.Extensions.Design, the error is you need to reference System.Web.Extensions. It's located in the AjaxControlToolkit dll. You should use

<assemblies>
    ...
    <add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit"/>
</assemblies>
