Best AJAX Enablement Tool?

[Rick Gamble]

After auditing feature/function stuff I've narrowed the candidates to the
three following vendors:

Infragististics Net Advantage
Telerik radAjax
Microsoft ASP.Net Ajax

Of the three I'm leaning toward Teleriks product however any additional
insights would be appreciated.

I have used Infragistics 2005 and 2006 for a while, and I hate to say
this..but its not the best recommended by me. It kinda adds too much
viewstate to your app, and the load time is drastically increased.
I don't intend to flame against Infragistics or something, but I
recommend against it. I cannot say the same for 2007, I did not try it yet.

MS AJAX....hmmm...heavy too..but better than infragistics...coz it does not
have as many features.

Telerik..never tried it...but heard a lot of good thingies about it.

Hope that helps.

I hate to admit this, but I STILL haven't gotten much into Microsoft ASP.NET
AJAX, having found that Anthem.net which is much more lightweight and easy to
learn, suits my needs for just about anything I need to do with Remote
Scripting (er, sorry, "AJAX").

I started using Telerik's RadAjax when it first became available
(which was before MS AJAX). It works on both my asp.net 1.1 and 2.0
projects, is really really really simple to install, implement and
use. I haven't had the time to compare RadAjax to MS AJAX seriously -
honestly, I'm sure if I should bother... (someone tell me).

I hope you haven't missed PowerWeb LiveControls. They're really good:

Aside from that, you'd probably have to go with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX since
it is the future of ASP.NET. It will be integrated into ASP.NET in the
future so you might as well learn it now because you'll be learning it later
anyway.
