Resolved Ajax ToolKit 2.0

[JuggaloBrotha]

I have a VS2005 WebSite that works fine using the TextBox AutoComplete extender for the 2.0 Framework. Currently our shop is upgrading all of our VS 2002, 2003 and 2005 projects to VS 2008 and as part of our code standards that we now have this VS 2005 WebSite needs to become a VS 2008 WebApp (which is better in my opinion) but the thing is, I have everything working as a WebApp now in VS 2008 except the AjaxToolkit, which we still need because the client only has the 2.0 Framework so Ajax in the 3.0 and 3.5 Frameworks is out.

There are no build errors and the dll's present in the bin folder where it is in the VS 2005 project, I set a breakpoint in the webservice and when I type in the textbox, my breakpoint in the service call never gets hit so something's not wired up right and I have no idea what since it's the same code that works in VS 2005. Anyone have any experience with this? Here's my code:

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="Ajax" %>

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="ParkLocationAjaxTextBox" Width="300" CssClass="ddlist" autocomplete="off" />

Ok, I got it, when I used VS 2008's 'upgrade WebSite to WebApp' convertion thing, it re-wrote the entire web config and only kept the connection string from the previous web config. Once I added the ajax extension method stuff back in, it works.
