Answer 1

I just installed it in Visual Studio 2013. Here's a summary of the process:

1. Click on solution and Manage Nuget Packages
2. Filter for AJAX and select the Ajax Control Toolkit
3. After NuGet installs this, it won't be in the toolbox!
4. Create a new toolbox group for AJAX CONTROL TOOLKIT
5. Add Items
6. Browse
7. Navigate to the toolkit URL. Project is Webapplication1 in the c:\temp folder so the toolkit was in: C:\temp\WebApplication1\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.7.1213\lib\45 (because I am using framework 4.5)
8. Click OK and the toolbox should be populated.
