ASP.NET 4 AJAX Beta 1 Documentation
ASP.NET AJAX includes a library of client script functions that bring many of the advantages of object-oriented programming and of the ASP.NET model to client scripting. ASP.NET AJAX also provides server-based support that includes Web server controls that can automatically render client script that is required for AJAX functionality.
The AJAX functionality in ASP.NET 4 enables new client data scenarios for page and component developers that allow JSON data from the server to be rendered as HTML in a highly manageable and efficient way. To enable these scenarios, ASP.NET 4 includes the following major features:
· Client template rendering.
· Instantiating behaviors and controls declaratively.
· Live data binding.
· Support for the observer pattern with JavaScript objects and arrays.
· The AdoNetServiceProxy class for client-side interaction with ADO.NET Data Services.
· The DataView control for data-bound UI in the browser.
· The DataContext and AdoNetDataContext classes for interaction with Web services.
· Refactoring the Microsoft AJAX Framework libraries.
