You can also easily create your own custom extensions because this toolkit also
comes with Visual Studio templates to assist you. At the time of this writing, there are
about 40 controls (there will most likely be even more controls due to community contributions
by the time you read this), which we will cover in this and the next chapter. As
you work through this chapter and the next, you??™ll learn more about the structure of
these control extenders and how they complement the existing ASP.NET server controls.
You will also see by example, going through most of the controls this toolkit offers and
finding out how to use them in your applications. The examples in this chapter only
cover the basics of this toolkit and, in some cases (such as the animation control), there
is much functionality that is beyond the scope of this chapter.
Installing the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit
The ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit is not a stand-alone entity and requires ASP.NET AJAX
to be installed because it heavily relies on certain controls, such as ScriptManager, and 131
C H A P T E R 7
libraries for its infrastructure.
