The #1 online source for .NET/XML and Web Service Topics
Description
With the release of the Atlas
technology preview developers have a new way to emulate AJAX
(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) programming concepts while using
familiar ASP.NET server control style programming. Atlas allows Web
applications to make asynchronous calls to back-end systems from
multiple browsers (Netscape, IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.) without
postbacks. This provides an enhanced user interface for end users that
is more friendly, more responsive and more efficient.
