Getting data from a web service with Microsoft AJAX Library October Release using the Core bits - Microsoft AJAX Library and ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions
I've been work with getting data back from a web service with the October Release and using the Core Bits. If I try and return a datatable, I have been getting an error. I did some checking and I found that the datatable serializer is in the CTP dll, so this has been a frustrating situation. I did some reading and some additional checking and it looks like the only way to return data from a web service through a web service is by creating a strongly typed set of objects. I've been creating a Generic List<T> and then calling a .ToArray() when I return the data. if you have some additional suggestions, feel free to add them as a comment in this message.

UpdatePanel & Section 508 – Microsoft AJAX Library and ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions
The new UpdatePanel supports the Section 508 standard. This is a great improvement over the previous CTP. As a result, users that access an ASP.NET application through a screen reader will be able to get the updated sections of page. Previous builds of the UpdatePanel did not work properly with screen readers. While this is a great step forward, this is not the be-all, end-all with regards to accessibility and the UpdatePanel. One question that never seems to be answered is how is a screenreader user notified that something has changed on the screen? How does a user know that a new grid with data in it is being displayed?

Setting up a Web Service with the new Atlas Bits - Microsoft AJAX Library and ASP.NET 2.0 Ajax Extensions
To call a web service through the Microsoft AJAX Library, you will need to add the Microsoft.Web.Script.Services namespace to the using/import statements for your web service, unless you would like to add the complete name to the attributes. This is a change from the previous CTPs. I had liked that there was no code changes that needed to be done for the web services in the previous CTPs. Now, I have to add some attributes to my web service class.
The $ shortcut has been changed to $get with Atlas Beta 1
If you have downloaded the Atlas beta 1 bits, you have probably noticed that the $ shortcut has been changed to $get. If you want a list of shortcuts, you can open up the MicrosoftAjax.js file and take a look, or you can check out the list I have on my personal blog at: http://morewally.com/cs/blogs/wallym/archive/2006/10/20/433.aspx
