ASP.NET Ajax Preview 5 and Application Services
Recently there was an issue posted to the ASP.NET customer forums where somebody was having problems using Profile Services with ASP.NET Ajax Preview 5. The reason is that the scripts for Application Services have been moved to a separate script file (to improve script download size). We did not include the script in the Preview 5 release however, so if you want to use Preview 5 with Application Services features, you need to work around by taking the Sys.Services code and merging it into the Preview 5 MicrosoftAjax.js file. For your convenience and at Dave Reed’s suggestion, I’ve gone ahead and done this, so if you are targeting this scenario, use the new versions of MicrosoftAjax.js and MicrosoftAjax.debug.js that are included in the zip file attached to this post.
