 1) First step is to download the latest version of the Ajax Control Toolkit from CodePlex whichever suits to your visual studio. If you are using Visual Studio 2008 then you should pick the version of the Ajax Control Toolkit for .NET 3.5. If you are using Visual Studio 2010 then you can use either the .NET 4 or .NET 3.5 versions of the Ajax Control Toolkit.

2) After download the required version of Ajax toolkit open the downloaded file and extract all the files.

3) After that open Visual Studio and create a new ASP.NET Web Forms project or website. Open Default.aspx page in the project or website.

 5) Right-click beneath the new tab and select the menu option Choose Items. Click the Browse button and browse to the folder where you extracted the Ajax Control Toolkit.
