ASP.NET AJAX in Action

Part 2. Advanced techniques

In the second part of the book, we’ll go deep into the client-centric and server-centric development models introduced in part 1. Chapter 7 returns to the UpdatePanel control to examine the partial-rendering mechanism on the client side. Chapter 8 returns to the Microsoft Ajax Library to explore the client component model. Chapter 9 shows how to wire client components to ASP.NET server controls to obtain Ajax-enabled controls. Finally, chapter 10 introduces the Ajax Control Toolkit, the largest collection of Ajax-enabled controls available.
