What's New: Visual Studio 2008• More than 250 new features• Key advances in three primary pillars:• Rapid application development • Effective team collaboration • Break through user experiences

• Improvements include:• New Merge tool• Greatly enhanced HTML / CSS Tools• JavaScript and AJAX IntelliSense• Radical designer improvements

Visual StudioCompile and Merge Tools

• Visual Studio 2005• Introduced Web Application Projects• Compile each page individually or each folder• Pre-compile tool enables compilation in place or for easier deployment

• Visual Studio 2008• Supports Web Application Projects as well as Web Sites• Merge tool allows merging pre-compiled assemblies

When do I use ASP.NET AJAX?

Client Centric AJAX

•Microsoft AJAX Library• Object oriented client

development• Adds type system and

extensions to JavaScript

• JavaScript IntelliSense

Server Centric AJAX

•Update only a portion of an ASP.NET page

•Easily increase performance of existing ASP.NET applications

•Display progress indicators

ASP.NET AJAX Controls• UpdatePanel• Refresh selected parts of a page• Pages appear more interactive• Triggers specify which control causes the update

• UpdateProgress• Provides status information on partial-page

updates• Timer• Performs postbacks at defined intervals

AJAX Control Extenders• Add additional functionality to existing controls• Improved designer support in Visual Studio 2008

AJAX Client Library• The Microsoft AJAX Library includes a

rich framework to simplify client programming

• Namespaces in the Client Library• Global Namespace • Sys • Sys.Net • Sys.Serialization • Sys.Services • Sys.UI • Sys.WebForms

AJAX Control Toolkit• Shared-source community

project• Contains:• Ready to run samples• Powerful SDK

• Uses AJAX Extensions• 40+ Controls

LINQ is included in the .NET FrameworkIntelliSense support provides information on LINQ language syntaxLINQ Visual Debugger Add-inObject Relational Designer

Language Integrated Query(LINQ)

Exposes LINQ to Web developers

Uses a familiar ASP.NET data source control architecture

Implements the DataSourceControl pattern introduced with ASP.NET 2.0

Bind against a LINQ enabled data modelDeclaratively bind to ASP.NET controls

LinqDataSource Control
