NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions, which is a set of
server controls that implicitly generates the JavaScript code that is needed to implement
your AJAX application on the client.
In the next chapter, you??™ll see in more detail how the AJAX Library makes writing the
JavaScript portion of your AJAX applications much easier and how the different aspects
of the library come together to provide a unified design and coding framework. You??™ll also
get an overview of each of the library??™s namespaces and their associated classes and will
learn about details of the object-oriented environment it provides, with features such as
types, namespaces, and inheritance.
CHAPTER 2 ?– TAKING AJAX TO THE NEXT LEVEL 29
The Microsoft AJAX Library:
Making Client-Side JavaScript
Easier
In the first two chapters, you began to get a sense of the power of AJAX and Microsoft??™s
implementation: ASP.NET AJAX. In addition, you were shown how asynchronous
JavaScript and XML can make ordinary web applications more interactive and responsive.
Chapter 2 provided an overview of ASP.NET 2.0 and, in particular, server controls,
which simplify web development by giving developers the ability to drag and drop rich
controls such as calendars or data grids into web pages.
