Explore Microsoft ASP.net AJAX Control Development Technology (client)

This series of articles will comprehensively explore the technologies involved in the development of controls (control) in the ASP.net Ajax framework from the client and service side from two perspectives.

First, Introduction

Today, the ASP.net Ajax framework, with its organic integration with the ASP.net 2.0 system and the fully object-oriented client JavaScript component model, is attracting more and more web developers. In addition, the framework provides a package (albeit childlike) for AJAX Web development based on the ASP.net 2.0 platform.

First, let's recall the main objectives of the ASP.NET AJAX framework design: one, Extend the existing ASP.net server-side model so that it can generate JavaScript code that supports rich clients; second, adding client-side programming models for ASP.net applications makes pure client programming easier.

Based on this, we can extend the ASP.net Ajax framework at least from the following two aspects. First, create richer asp.net ajax server-side extender controls to provide rich client Ajax behavior for these controls. An excellent example of this is most of the controls in the AJAX Control Toolkit. Second, create a pure client component/control. This part of the example is the framework has been implemented for the general HTML elements of the encapsulation, Advanced Client control ListView and client offline data source DataSource, and so on. To do this, a control developer can create a new client component/control to encapsulate typical client functionality or extend it based on an existing client component/control.

"description" first, in fact, we can further extend its bottom layer along the asp.net AJAX client and server-side architecture hierarchy diagram. Second, developing ASP.net Ajax controls requires developers to first have client and server knowledge about the ASP.net AJAX framework (compared to requiring more client-related knowledge in the process of programming).

In this article, we will look at the ASP.net AJAX framework for control development-related technologies from two perspectives on the client and service side. First, let's start with the client.

Second, the control development client-related technology
