ASP.NET AJAX and SharePoint 2007: SharePoint AJAX Toolkit

ASP.NET AJAX has just RTM-ed, cool! Even cooler: Daniel Larson has released the SharePoint AJAX Toolkit on CodePlex, which uses the ASP.NET AJAX framework. This sounds very promising!

Daniel writes: ASP.NET Ajax Extensions (aka Atlas) have been released (finally!), and I've been saving up some code for the release which I'll post shortly. (Get eh 1.0 RTM bits here: ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0)The SharePoint Ajax Toolkit is also ready for release and is available as a WSP (SharePoint Solution Package) here with some nifty new features, including a Solution Package based installer that allows FULL no-touch deployment and registers the Atlas httpHandlers, as well as a Refresh interval programmed into the XmlWebPart (a great solution for SharePoint list RSS feeds). Included is one web part, the Xml Web Part (with a default RSS reader XSLT which can be set to auto refresh), and the core framework for AJAX developers. The source code is recommended for SharePoint developers.

Mmm, I guess my colleague Kevin (hey Kevin, when do you start a blog?), who is going to teach the first U2U ASP.NET AJAX training in two weeks, will have to give me an AJAX crash-course! :-)

  • Hi Jan,

    For several weeks now, I'm desperately looking for an AJAX course. I'm glad U2U is organizing a course on that subject. I'm especially interested in the Jason subject. Can you please inform me if this will be included in the course? And are there still seats available for that course? Thanks in advance for your reaction. My email address is colinphil@hotmail.com
    Kind regards,
    Colin

  • Hi Colin, I checked with Kevin (our AJAX expert and trainer), he will cover JSON (aka Jason) in the course, but the focus will be on the ASP.NET AJAX extensions. If you can register on the U2U site, then there are seats available. See you next week!! :-)

  • Great course, Go Kevin
