Book: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Released

Matt Gibbs and I recently released a new book for WROX titled Professional ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX that covers all the topics you need to know to build robust ASP.NET AJAX applications.  Matt is a development manager for ASP.NET (and led the ASP.NET AJAX team) and I've had the opportunity to be involved with the product since the early alphas. We put a lot of work into the book so hopefully everyone finds it useful and educational....don't let the cover scare you away. :-) 

Here's the book's outline:

  • Chapter 1: Developing Next-Generation Web Applications
  • Chapter 2: Partial Page Updates
  • Chapter 3: JavaScript for the ASP.NET Developer
  • Chapter 4: Understanding the ASP.NET AJAX Client Library
  • Chapter 5: Using the ScriptManager
  • Chapter 6: ASP.NET AJAX Networking
  • Chapter 7: ASP.NET AJAX Application Services
  • Chapter 8: Rich AJAX Toolkit Controls
  • Chapter 9: Testing and Debugging ASP.NET AJAX Applications
  • Chapter 10: Deploying ASP.NET AJAX Applications
  • Chapter 11: Building Custom Controls

I'm getting a circular reference error in my ASP.NET AJAX project.  It's similar to your Album example on JSON in your book, but I want to send a javascript object into the webservice and then return a JSON object back to my javascript code with the results.

This is my Forum post on this which I haven't gotten an answer on yet.  forums.asp.net/.../1138793.aspx

It's identical to the example in here:

asp.net/.../ConsumingWebServicesWithAJAXTutorial.aspx - Passing and Returning Comples type - example 2

As far as I know there is no circular reference anymore than this example.  Do you know causes this error?

Thanks,

King Wilder

I haven't seen this in any of my projects, but came across the following:

Is your object overriding Equals()?  May be totally unrelated but thought I'd pass it along.
