NET offer some great design tools that allow you to visually
construct pages, which fits in neatly with the concepts that ASP.NET AJAX introduces.
Developers can place controls on a page, and these controls generate the JavaScript that
is necessary to implement the AJAX functionality. In the following sections, you??™ll look at
how to use these controls within the integrated development environment (IDE).

In Chapter 3, you learned how to create a new AJAX-enabled ASP.NET site. Alternatively,
you can just as easily create an AJAX-enabled ASP.NET web application if you have
installed the Web Application Project add-on or Visual Studio 2005 SP1. Either way, upon
creating the new project, you will notice the new added section to the Toolbox titled AJAX
Extensions as shown in Figure 5-1.

Now that you have the controls in your Toolbox, you can drag and drop them onto
your web forms. The rest of this chapter discusses these controls and their object models,
and in the next chapter, you??™ll start using these controls in hands-on examples.
