ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 Preview 5

ASP.NET AJAX is a pure client-side JavaScript library that enables you to build Ajax applications that work with all modern web browsers. By taking advantage of ASP.NET AJAX client controls and templates, you can build database-driven web applications that execute entirely in the browser.
ASP.NET AJAX supports the following features:

  • Client templates that can be used to format database data in the browser
  • Client controls such as the DataView control
  • Client DataContext component that supports change tracking and identity management
  • ADO.NET Data Services support
  • WCF and ASMX Web service support
  • JSONP support
  • Observable pattern for plain JavaScript objects
  • Live Bindings
  • Command Bubbling
  • Support for managing complex links and associations between entities from multiple entity sets or tables

In Preview 5 of ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 we continue to improve the client-side data story introduced in previous previews of ASP.NET AJAX. In this release, we add support for the following features:
  • Dynamic and recursive templates
  • Binding Converters
  • Compatibility with the ASP.NET UpdatePanel
