ASP.NET Ajax Extensions and SharePoint Service 3.0 SP1

I got the Office Server SP1 installed on my MOSS development machine the other day and thought it would be a great time to try building a Ajax WebPart.

These are the steps I did to prepare my WSS/MOSS environment for the Ajax Extensions:

1. Download the ASP.NET 2.0 Ajax Extensions and installed them
2. Modified the web.config for my SharePoint site found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 as per the MSDN article here.  The only difference with my configuration was Step 3b, I had to comment those lines or I received a site error

3. Now onto my Ajax WebPart….stay tuned
