Atlas Wiki Application Status

In a few other posts I've read that the Wiki application was hidden on the atlas website because it wasn'tcompatible with the newest release of atlas. I was going to checkout out the wiki mostly for learning purposes (i bought Foundations of Atlas - and most of Chapt 7 is about the Wiki app). But i don't want to crack open the Wiki code if much of it is out of date and/or no longer supported.

I have heard "we will update the Wiki in a future release" - what is the status of these efforts? I would wait if a release was expected soon or if someone has already updated the wiki app.

What were the fundamental problems with the Wiki app and the latest version of atlas? A few minor changes in code syntax or major architectural issues? I'm trying to avoid making the same programming mistakes myself.

Any information or direction is appreciated - Thanks in advance for your response,

Hey,

I purchased that book too and was looking for the wiki, i never did actually find it. Also, after attempting to work through many of those examples found in the book i found that the majority didn't work with the July version of Atlas that I have installed. Were you able to find updated examples online?

Thanks,

Kas

I found a download to the wiki application here -http://forums.asp.net/thread/1241581.aspx

The author does have some errata and updated code from chapters 3 & 5 on his blog -http://www.philotic.com/blog/?cat=3. Unfortunately i've still found a few problems with the latest code he has posted in his blog. I've also found a number of examples in Chapt 7 that do not run properly which he has not addressed in his blog yet (has no one else got to Chapt 7 yet? - j/k).

So after hours of debugging code from that book the last few nights I figured i would post my original question here - and try to see what i was getting myself into before crack open the wiki code – and possibly spend many more hours more debugging code.

Hi jkunkle:

Can you be more specific about the problems you've found? I'd be happy to post fixes and blog them.

Atlas Versions and the impact of the newest version on a running project.

Hello Friends

I am using WebDeveloper 2005. I need help in understanding the versions of Atlas and the impact of the newest version on a running project.

On25 august 2006 i had downloaded Atlas and have been using in my project.

1) The version of Atlas in my computer is 2.0.50727 (checked using Add/Remove programs of control panel) . The web sitehttp://asp.net/ajax/control-toolkit/live/ArchivedReleases.aspx it says latest isVersion 1.0.10618.0

I am confused please help..how can a old version which i downloaded on 25 august 2006 be 2.0.50727 !!!!!!

2) Can i download and use the newest version of the tool kit for my project which is already running with a old version of ALTAS...will the old code suffer? ...should i test all the web pages again ?

Thanks for your Help

2.0.50727 is the version of the .NET framework - not of your ATLAS assembly.

ATLAS underwent some changes before it was finally released as ASPNET AJAX. If you switch from an ATLAS CTP to the released ASPNET AJAX, then you will need to retest everything and you may need to fix a thing or 2.

oops i thought 2.0.50727 is the version of atlas

Thanks for the reply
