what's the status with atlas?

[Dica]

i wrote an app using ajax.net and i'm told that the hosting outfit wants $10
to set up the dll PLUS $10 every month to 'maintain it because it's a custom
dll'. i've stated to look at atlas, but it looks like it's still in beta.

can anybody confirm this?

Eww...that page renders badly in Firefox.

I haven't dove into ajax with .net yet,. How does atlas appear appear to
compare to ajax.net for those that have been using these systems?

too bad.

maybe somebody can then answer what is probably a very stupid question. if i
add a reference to the ajax.net dll in my c# asp.net app and compile, does
that mean the dll is now embedded within the app an no further server
configuration is required or do i still need to request that the host
company register the dll?

AFAIK, that DLL is now a part of your application...not a part of the server
operating system. So, no, the host shouldn't have to register that dll at
all.

But, I could be wrong. ;o)

Depends on the provider.
The bin dir can be a sub of your www root.

Code can be set to specific execution level (read: restrictions like file
reading and writting not permitted etc..)
But it's possible to tag a dll to increase the security stuff, did not test
it since my dll worked fine while code dindn't..

Assemblies can be loaded *on demand* from any asp.net folder afaik, so they
don't need to be in the bin.
How it works?... forgot..

i see. tks.

the reason i ask is that i was i've set up an ajax.net app and run it fine
on my desktop, but as soon as i moved it to production, i starting receiving
a javascript error about the ajax.net javascript object being undefined. i
assumed the dll required registering.
