AJAX Toolkit Localized Versions of DLL

Hello,

When I add a reference to the most recent version of the DLL of AJAXControlToolkit, it includes all the other language versions as well. In my application, I am not going to need this, and don't want all 14 versions also copied over to my bin folder. Is there any way I can remove them and stop having them come back over after compiling? Can I delete those when I copy to the server and not have any problems with the toolkit?

You only need to copy the languages you care about. So if en-us is all that you want just the AjaxControlToolkit.dll should be sufficient. If your users are in different locales and you would like them to view the localized versions of the toolkit controls then you should copy over the rest. Right now we do not have a workaround to not build everything but it is on ourradar.

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.
