# Adding the Telerik Controls to Your Project


Adding the Telerik® UI for ASP.NET AJAX controls to your application or WebForm is straightforward and this article explores the requirements and	the most common ways to do that.

This article contains the following sections:

* [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) — the main requirements the server,	development machine and current Web Application/Web Site must satisfy so you can use the Telerik controls.

* [Adding Telerik Controls to a WebForm](#adding-telerik-controls-to-a-webform) — explains how you can add and use the controls themselves on a form after the core requirements are satisfied.

1. Make sure you have installed ASP.NET AJAX, which comes as part of [.NET 3.5+ installations](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime).
