First, in case you missed it, Atlas is now Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extensions. Sometimes one really has to wonder about the MS product naming team’s priorities. Django is a cool name. Script.aculo.us is cool. Atlas was cool. ASP.NET AJAX Extensions is not. At least they did not work a “Windows” in there. live it we will not go by name, lets see whats there in it for us....
For the lazy and/or hurried, here is quick summary:
Ajax revolutionized how users interact with web pages. Gone are frustrating page refreshes, lost scroll positions, intermittent interactions, and flat, boring pages. Instead we have a new generation of fast, rich, and intuitive web applications.
The ASP.NET AJAX framework puts the power of Ajax into the hands of Microsoft ASP.NET developers. ASP.NET AJAX, formerly called Atlas, is a new free framework from Microsoft designed to easily add Ajax features to ASP.NET applications.
With this technology, ASP.NET developers can easily build more interactive and highly-personalized web applications that work across all most popular browsers. If you are a web developer looking to bring your web pages to life and to enhance the user experience ASP.NET AJAX is the answer for you..
To get started, you'll need to download the ASP.NET AJAX extensions to ASP.NET at a bare minimum. You'll also probably want to install the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, which contains a large number of community supported and created (through CodePlex) ASP.NET AJAX controls.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has done one really dumb thing with this release: they make it install into the GAC and encourage developers to reference it from there. This is a very bad thing if you are not aware if it, as it can easily break your application in deployment if you are not careful. For those on shared hosts, it will require the hosting company to install it for the application to work. And I doubt too many shared hosts will want to install anything which is not in a final release state.
This is my opinion but you have all rights to think different, Any suggestions?? are always welcome!!!!!!!
For the lazy and/or hurried, here is quick summary:
- ASP.NET AJAX Beta 1 basically contains the “core” Atlas functions, including the UpdatePanel.
- The Value Add pack contains a lot of stuff which was in the Atlas core, such as the AutoCompleteExtender or the UpdateProgress control.
- It helps make a lot of the changes make sense. But, if you were using previous versions of Atlas heavily, you will be making some pretty significant changes to your applications.
