You must install and configure Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 to work in a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 environment. This topic describes the procedures to install and configure the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Extensions. The installation process deploys the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 assembly (System.Web.Extensions.dll) to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and also installs the Microsoft AJAX Library JavaScript files. The configuration process tells Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 how to handle Web Parts that have ASP.NET AJAX functionality. It also registers the server controls as safe for use within Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
Note that the procedure described below applies to .NET Framework 2.0. If you are using .NET Framework 3.5, change the version number in each of the XML code samples from Version=1.0.61025.0 to Version=3.5.0.0.
Version=1.0.61025.0
Version=3.5.0.0
You must complete these steps for each front-end Web server in the server farm.
Download ASP.NET AJAX 1.0.
To install the extensions, double-click the .msi file and follow the prompts.

Configuring ASP.NET AJAX
There is a typo in this article:
A "," belongs after "Version=1.0.61025.0".
This codeplex project contains (among many other things) a SharePoint feature, which will configure the web.config for all servers in a SharePoint farm:
http://www.codeplex.com/features
There are two missing commas in the code above. Make sure there's a comma "," between "Version=1.0.61025.0" and "Culture=neutral". You have to do this in two different places: <sectionGroup> and <controls> sections.
My entire sharepoint site was down because of this problem. I'm glad it was an easy fix.
1.Open Visual Studio 2008 , 2.Create a new Web Site name it as (say) TestWeb1 , choose .Net Framework 2.03.Copy your sharepoint web.config file and paste it to the TestWeb1 Web.config4.Change the Properties of TestWeb1 , and change Target Framework Net Framework 3.55.Copy the Contents of new Web.config file of TestWeb1 to your sharepoint web.config
