Hello, Already plenty of articles have been published explaining how to work with AjaxControlToolkit extender controls.In this article I will provide with a general tip on working with AjaxControlToolkit which is applicable to all the extender controls of the Toolkit. In general we can incorporate extender controls in our web page by declaring their markup code.But many times it is required to access these extender controls in our client side javascript code so that we can manipulate certain attributes or properties of the extender control declared in our web page. Its same as like declaring a asp:TextBox control in our web page and then setting its "Text" property in code behind.But unlike asp.net server controls , AjaxControlToolkit...

In this blog post I’m going to show you how you can use the new Converter feature during data binding, to make this post more special I have used the new Microsoft AJAX CDN (Content Delivery Network), so I don’t need to have the AJAX 4.0 script on my server. The example code I use in this post, will use the ASP.NET AJAX DataView and also Microsoft ADO.NET Data Services to retrieve data from the server. My fantasy isn’t so special good, but I decided to make a little “rental” application, where I will use ASP.NET AJAX to simply show a list of cars and the current rental status. The status of a rental car will be sent to the client as a string and can be of the following values, Approved, Not Approved and Pending. The little app I’m building for...

Many of you have probably heard that we’ve released ASP.NET Ajax Preview 5 on Codeplex, and it’s available here . Aside from all the cool updates to the codebase, Preview 5 also includes some updated samples, as well as support for UpdatePanel when using ASP.NET 3.5 SP1. Previously, this didn’t work because of updates to the scripts for compatibility with 4.0. Now, with this fixed, you can easily add Ajax Preview 5 functionality to existing sites and enjoy continued operation. There is a very simple example included with the Preview 5 samples that demonstrates this functionality (8_UpdatePanel.aspx under the 1_Basic_DataView folder). I’ll quickly cover here how to get your existing UpdatePanel working with the new Preview bits. Basically, all...

In this post, I will explain you how can we show Loading message in asp.net ajax without using Update Progress. Now some one may asked, why do I want to skip Update Progress ? Well, there can be several reasons for this, fist of all you have to work on every single page, and on every update panel to get the update progress working. There are basically three methods of meeting this requirement. Using Master Pages : A very smart way, but not all of us are using them .. right ? Extending Page Class ...( read more ) Read More...
