Difference between atlas and ASP.NET AJAX

What are the Difference between atlas and ASP.NET AJAX.

When MS first started working with thier AJAX library its official name was ATLAS which was split and changed to MS AJAX library and ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX extensions.

they said that the client side Functionality of ATLAS is going to be MS Ajax LIbrary and the Server side functionlity is going to be ASP.NET AJAX 2.0 exentions which is highly compatibale with ASP.NET 2.0.

thanks for reply..

if we apply ajax in existing web page ,what are the main changes ..

is there any changes in code behind?only change in html ie putting panel in it..

all events of control which is inside the panel have all ajax functionality ...

thanks

Well MS has made it quite simple for users, but in the background when you run the page check out the source of the page at run time you will see many javascript functions added to the page.

beside of it you are not limited to place content in UpdatePanel only but there are many properties,methods and Triggers that you can use.

thanks

if we add a datagrid inside update panel,inside trigger we specify only event sort...

when we click to view next page .. is postback occur or not?

is it necessary to specify all events in trigger tag..

thanks

hello.

if the control is inside an updatepanel, then you don't need to set up triggers. you only need a trigger when you want to have a partial postback and the control is outside the updatepanel.
