title: ASP.NET MVC & Ajax Control Toolkit
body: <p>One of the things I like about coding "old skool" (web forms) is the AJAX Control Toolkit.</p>
  
  <p>I saw on the <a href="http://www.asp.net/learn/mvc-videos/video-373.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft Storefront video 14</a>, <a href="http://blog.wekeroad.com/mvc-storefront/mvcstore-part-14/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rob Conery uses the TextboxWatermark</a> control.</p>
  
  <p>When I <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/mvcsamples/SourceControl/changeset/view/9325" rel="nofollow noreferrer">downloaded the code</a> though, I couldn't find any reference to the Watermark control or any other control from the toolkit nor could I get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, does the AJAX Control Toolkit even work in an MVC / AJAX / JQuery type world without viewstate. What do you use for "simple" controls such as Calendar &amp; Watermarks?</p>
