Hi there,
I am just trying to learn AJAX at the moment and have run into a problem. I have copied over the example for cascading dropdowns and this is where I have the above error.
The error occurs in the web.config file on this line
<
addassembly="Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
Can anyone advise what I need to change?
The sample is for old ajax version.
you need to copy latest ASP.NET AJAX web.config to your projects web.config
below is my cascading code for new version for you
ASPX

Good luck
Hi MIB426,
Thanks heaps for your code...I am pretty new to both .NET & AJAX so I need to be a pain and ask a couple more questions.
Where can I get the web.config file from?
This part of your code (web services code) where am I meant to add this to?
Thanks heaps for your help!
