Ajax Toolkit

We noticed that there is an update to the toolkit which includes 2 additional controls namely the Search Listbox and the slide show and other enhancements such as comment stripping etc.

In order for us to utilise these new features, can we just replace the existing toolkit dll with the new one or do we have to make a complete re-install.

Thanks in advance.

You may find that you are able to just install over the top with no problems. However that depends on the version of the controls you currently have. Since the toolkit is constantly in development, a Microsoft Development Team member advised me to always un-install first, just to avoid any possible complications.

Ajax Toolbox Additions

Just for the record, how many additional items should be added to Visual Studios toolbox? I installed both of the AJAX 1.0 Essential Components...the extensions and the toolkit. I only have 5 new items in my toolbox: Timer, ScriptManager, ScriptManagerProxy, UpdateProgress, UpdatePanel. Am I to assume that if I want to use any of the other new AJAX controls I have to grab the snippet from one of the examples? Or am I missing something??I actually figured it out from watching the install movie. That's pretty helpful. Although, I'm a little disappointed that MS didn't create icons for the new controls. That wouldn't have taken a graphic designer very long really. This is supposed to be a full release, kind of looks unfinished like that.
that's funny -- I didn't even notice the lack of icons...(or that most toolbox items have icons). I guess I'm more of a left brain type guy.
I'm both. I have an art degree but have done web development for nearly a decade. I just find it curious that something so small was left unfinished. I guess it really doesnt matter as long as the controls work.
