I have published the second beta for the Ajax.NET Professional library. Feel free to download the free library including the online example written in C#.
@Andrew: I'm not sure because using the viewstate will slow down AJAX requests. Ajax.NET Professional is designed to run the AJAX method as fast as possible. Using POSTBACK or VIEWSTATE will create a new instance of the page on the server. So, I'm note sure if I will add this feature, maybe I can add a configuration.
I have created a server control that is a paged list box with type ahead, and am forced to hold properties pertaining to the control in session variables since locals and viewstate do not work. Overkill on session variables when we have 100s of simultaneous users!!! ViewState would be ideal. Another issue is in my real-world apps I want to have this control on the page multiple times. I am unable since they overwrite each others values. Ajax generated unique ID??? Thoughts on the above or a better approach?

hey Michael,
i like your library alot, but do you have plans to add viewstate support so its possible to access controls from codebehind [AjaxMethod]?
thanks

I'm going to use this to build a tree control. I'm very impressed so far...

I have a class which I have marked as an ajax class.
If I write an external ajax method to create an instance of this class and return it to the client all is fine!
However, I dont seem to be able to mark a method within a class as an ajax method, if the class is also an ajax class.
Is this by design or can I expect this to change over the coming releases?
Many thanks for your excellent tool!

@Rick: Can you please send me your solution files or the class source code? It is working on a demo on my example project.

Hi sorted that problem.
Question.. in Ajax we could do:
[Ajax.AjaxMethod(HttpSessionStateRequirement.Read)]
BUT
[AjaxPro.AjaxMethod(HttpSessionStateRequirement.Read)]
Doesnt seem to work.
Am I doing something stupid?
