Do refresh schemas, if using Windows XP:

• delete all files in this directory: c:\Document and Settings\[YourUserName]\Local Settings\AppData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ReflectedSchemas

If having Windows Vista, do this :

• delete all files in this directory: c:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ReflectedSchemas

Reopen Visual Studio.NET and HTML source snippets will be refreshed. For precaution, backup this schemas.

Enjoy using ASP.NET Ajax.
