Atlas to Ajax Control Toolkit

I have been reading the posts for Cascading Drop Down Lists for quite a few days now and trying to run the sample. However when I try to do the sample on my own I donot see the cascading drop down properties in the Behavior group of the Drop Down list. The video talks about some properties whereas the article of how to do it talks different.

Utterly confused. Also after copying the solution I can see a Method Error 500 which is not documented either. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe the video and article (although not aware of the article - which is a gripe of mine - I hate the video tutorials as I do not watch them (not enough bandwidth and attention span - prefer just the copy and paste from articles method myself)... are based ON atlas and not the new Beta...

I have everything installed as per your directions. However I am unable to run the methods and everything seems to have changed. Not sure but after changing some namespaces I started getting the Method Error 500 and Method Error 12030. I can populate the Make drop down using the Page Method Webservice method but the other drop downs are not getting populated.

Moreover I found some post for adding the ScriptService attribute to the class which i did too but does not work :-(

Help appreciated

This usually means one of the following;

* Your method is not accessible (it's not public, it's not marked with ScriptService (class) or ScriptMethod(method))

* You've got the name of the service path wrong

* You've got the method name wrong

* The method name doesn't have the exact same parameters and parameter naming that the component is expecting

I'm having this problem, getting the Method Error 500. I have ScriptService and ScriptMethod in the proper places, my parameter names are correct, and I am calling the correct method name. Everything runs fine on my development machine, but when I copy the files over to my server it doesn't work. Is there something I should have on the server? I am reading a database using a dataset's table adapter. I have tried everything I've read on the posts. I've even tried just passing back bogus data from the method and not even reading the database, but I still get the same thing.

I did put the sample from the How do I series for the CDD and it worked fine. So why can't I even get to the web service if I can with the sample? I don't recall doing anything differently.

Please Help!

These all happen due to 500 or 12030 or both, please elaborate

I have given the physical path to my web service like this

<ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDownID="CascadingDropDown1"

runat="server"

TargetControlID="ddlMake"

Category="Make"

PromptText="Select a manufacturer"

ServicePath="../WebSite6/Service.asmx"

ServiceMethod="GetCarMakes">

</ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown>

See the service path tag - Am i to give the name of the web service only? cause when i give the name, it says file not found (but it doesn't stop debugging & continue loading the project) - In this case, the error is 500 (when no physical address is given, only web service name)

Other wise when i give the physical path, it gives error 12030?

Can this ever work???????????????
