Pro ASP.NET 3.5 Server Controls and AJAX Components is a reference for the serious ASP.NET developer who understands the benefits of object-oriented development and wants to apply those principles to ASP.NET 3.5, ASP.NET AJAX, and server control development. This book also covers SharePoint and targets the latest version of Visual Studio (2008) and the .NET Framework (3.5). Highlights include the following:
- Covers the new features in ASP.NET 3.5 and ASP.NET AJAX technology
- Describes the ASP.NET server control architecture in Visual Studio 2008/ASP.NET 3.5 covering state management, events, rendering, cross-platform support, control life cycle, localization, and deployment
- Demonstrates how to integrate client-side development technologies such as DHTML and JavaScript with server control technology to create powerful interactive controls
This book covers how to work with custom server controls and how to add AJAX functions into these applications with Microsoft's implementation of AJAX, ASP.NET AJAX (formerly Atlas). ASP.NET AJAX is the de facto standard for implementing Ajax in ASP.NET 2.0 applications, and every ASP.NET 2.0 developer has to bear it in mind when creating a cutting-edge application.
