Another point that is worth mentioning is when I open up Visual Studio, instead of opening the site I'm currently working on, if I click File > New Project, I should be able to create a new ASP.NET AJAX Website but there's nothing in the list with that option, the only AJAX components I see are: ASP.NET AJAX Server Control and ASP.NET AJAX Server Control Extensions but neither of those seem to do the trick.

Have you tried adding the AJAX toolkit library to the Visual Studio
toolbox? If I remember correctly that is a procedure that is done
manually.
