Besides ATLAS, which is for ASP.NET 2.0, go to sourceforge.net and look up
Anthem.net and MagicAjax. Both are free, open-source, and easy to learn.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had experience using ajax with asp.net controls.
What i'm looking for, are ways to implement and possible problems.
A way to implement could be rendering the control on the server side,
and send the html string back to javascript.
A possible problem is the control post back behavior and control view state
usage.
Thanks,
Sharon.

Thanks Bruno.
I'm already using Ajax.NET:

Is Atlas better suited to use asp.net server controls?

Thanks Peter.
I'm looking for the ajax solution that works best with asp.net server
controls.

Soon I saw the tutorial video under Atlas website, I just run and test it in
Brinkster Hosting, were I have my websites, and even with the upload of the
Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll on my space (under bin folder) it run sweat and nice

I never thought that a DLL in Share Hosting could be so easy to upload and
use

and because it's so easy to implement (just a few tags) and the tags are
exactly like .NET well, they from Microsoft so, how easy could it be, and
it's free

download the video tutorial "Scott's To Do List" and see what I'm talking
about

I do not think that I will need another AJAX tool, Atlas it's the ideal tool
for me

Thank you in Advance.

Hello,

ATLAS is what we are going to be using in some months.

In the mean time, ASP .net 2.0, ships "script callbacks", it has some
drawbacks (e.g.: it seems that the viewstate travels with each call), but for
some scenario can be a good idea to use it:

Good luck

Yep, thats what i'm looking for.
Thanks for the video.
Sharon.

 

[Sharon]

Thanks Braulio.
Does "script callbacks" have any advantage over Atlas?
Sharon.

 

[Guest]

Well...

Atlas is more powerful, but the unique advantage of script callbacks is
that they are in production (ASP .net 2.0 ships script call bakcs), and ATLAS
hasn't been officially released.

Another good point of Script Call Back is that they are quite easy to
use. The main drawback... is not a powerful thing :-(

Bye

I've been working with ATLAS a lot recently. The form variables do get
passed back, it seems that everything still goes through the initial
stages of page generation. So control view state and form field
updates don't pose a problem. And yes, you can use the control's
render method, wrapping your own HtmlTextWriter around a StringWriter
based on a StringBuilder, to get the HTML text to return to the client.

Considering that ATLAS is still CTP,
did you encounter any problems, bugs?
