aspx, a Web.config file, and an empty App_Data folder that can be used to store
any databases or data files used by the web site.
So what makes this an ASP.NET AJAX-enabled web site? Well, the work is all done for
you behind the scenes. When ASP.NET AJAX is installed, the assembly that provides its
functionality??”System.Web.Extensions??”was stored in the Microsoft .NET Global Assembly
Cache (GAC). When you created your web site, a reference to this assembly was added to
the web site??™s Web.config file. Several other additions were also made to the Web.config file,
including several sections that are commented out, which may optionally be used to provide
additional functionality such as the Profile and Authentication services. All of this will
be covered in more detail in the next chapter when we dive into the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX
Extensions.
