Re-compiling the AjaxControlToolkit

Many people have asked me for a copy of my rebuilt AjaxControlToolkit DLL which contains a fix for the modalpopupextender in it, so I thought I would write a post describing how I went about re-building the DLL (for those wanting to try).

 

The first thing you need is the source code of the AjaxControlToolkit. Head over to the releases tab on the AjaxControlToolkit CodePlex Page. Now, what I’m using is an older version of the toolkit, but the steps should probably be the same even in the latest version.

Version Selection

Go ahead and download the source code version of the toolkit.

Download File

Extract it and open the AjaxControlToolkit.sln file to bring up the project in visual studio.

Now notice that in your directory structure there is a folder called SampleWebSite\Bin. These is where the compiled version of your DLL is going to be. 

Now go ahead and make the necessary changes to the files in the toolkit (I’ve written them out in a previous post here). 

Right click on the Solution and choose ‘Build Solution’.

VStudio Rebuild

That’s about it. You should have your newly built DLL in the SampleWebSite\Bin folder.

@Norf

Not sure what you mean. Are you trying to display an update progress on a Modalpopup?
