ASP.NET Ajax Framework

Is there an ASP.NET AJAX framework other than just using UpdatePanel & Friends or the ASP.NET AjaxControlToolkit?

Currently I am using plain ICallbackEventHandler calls but it gets quite complicated a while as a lot of serialization needs to be done.

Any suggestions?

From stackoverflow
  • Telerik has a nice library of AJAX controls.

  • The new ASP.NET MVC Framework (beta)?

    craigmoliver : That's not an AJAX framework, but I won't vote you down for it ;-)
  • Here is a list of different AJAX frameworks to use with ASP.NET.

    We also used prototype for smaller tasks.

  • After some trial and error I have found out that the best way (for me) for handling Ajax in an ASP.NET Web forms application.

    • ASP.NET AJAX Script services for all AJAX calls. Returns JSON for complex types
    • jQuery for the GUI and for the Effects.

    Works really nice, and I am in full control of the output.

    craigmoliver : I love jQuery, it's my new best friend
  • Infragistics is popular, but gets wonky when you actually have to debug a problems.

  • There are tons of Ajax Frameworks for ASP.NET. Some of them are; Anthem.NET, Ra-Ajax (my project), Gaia Ajax, AjaxPro.NET and probably hundreds of others. My personal favorite (shameless plug) is obvously Ra-Ajax since that's what I am working with. (founder of)

    Have a look at Ajax Calendar Starter-Kit to see its capabilities...
