extending AJAX control toolkit

[Guest]

Hi,

I am a newbie in AJAX technologies.

For my application I need a combination of ListSearchExtender and
FilteredTextBox control. I have downloaded the toolkit with source code, and
seem to have an understanding on where to modify the controls in order to
achieve what I need.
I do not want to modify the toolkit source directly as those changes will be
overwritten when the next update/version of AJAX will come out.
Can you please suggest what is the "right" way of extending toolkit
controls, as I need to make changes in both the code behind and the
javascript files?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Create your own library of extender controls. Then, you do not have to worry
as much about what Microsoft might do to the toolkit.

Gregory,

I wanted to avoid re-inventing the wheel, and at the same time benefit from
the future Microsoft updates - isn't there a way to have everything I want?
