.Net Ajax Solution

AJAX
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
Speed and Dexterity for futuristic web enabled applications…
A conventional web application essentially submits forms, filled by users to a web server, web page back. As re slowly.

Ajax on the other hand enables web applications to respond more quickly to numerous types of user interface and to avoid continually transferring unchanged information across the network. Ajax technologies are open and therefore are compatible with all JavaScriptenabled browsers regardless of the operating systems.

What is Ajax?
Ajax is a blend of several technologies. Ajax stands for-Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is a technique used to develop web based applications. It incorporates:

Features:

XML is generally used, though any format works; counting preformatted HTML, plain text, JSON and even EBML.

Web applications developed on Ajax technology can perform most of the functions that the native application of the user’s system can. This is because while interacting with the server on which they reside, a very small amount of data is exchanged back and forth at a time. This leads to pages being updated in the user’s browser only, rather than being refreshed completely. It’s a model modified from the web’s unique use as a hypertext medium.

Functional aspects:
In applications developed through this technology every user’s action that would generally generate an HTTP request gets transformed into JavaScript and summons the Ajax engine.

To enhance the functional timing, any reaction to user’s action that does not need a trip back to the server – such as simple data confirmation, data edition in memory, and a few navigations – are handled by the engine on its own.

If the engine requires some information from the server so as to present a response, such as: submission of data for processing, loading added interface code, or recovering new data — the engine places these requests synchronously, generally using XML, without delaying a user’s interaction with the application.

Accessibility:
Using Ajax technology in web applications proves to be a major challenge for developers involved in adhering to WAI convenience guidelines. Developers need to offer fallback options for users on other platforms or browsers, as most methods of Ajax execution rely on characteristics, present only on desktop graphical browsers.

Web developers employ Ajax in some cases to offer content only to particular portions of a web page, allowing data management without incurring the cost of re-rendering the complete page on the web browser.

Numerous famous applications have been developed by deploying the Ajax such as: Google Maps and Gmail, Yahoo’s Flicker, America Online’s AIM Mail, 24SevenOffice and Microsoft’s Virtual Earth. These prestigious examples of Ajax usage demonstrate flexibility and effectiveness of the web programming model.

Browsers Supporting Ajax:

How is Ajax Different?
An Ajax application reduces the interaction time on the web by introducing a mediator – an Ajax engine – connecting the user and the server. Rather than loading a webpage, at the start of the session, the browser loads an Ajax engine which is written in JavaScript and generally stored in a hidden frame. This engine is responsible for both depicting the interface the user sees as well as communicating with the server on the user’s behalf.

The Ajax engine allows the user’s communication with the application to happen asynchronously without affecting communication with the server. This leads to users never staring at a blank browser window.

All user actions that would generally create an HTTP request take the form of a JavaScript call to the Ajax engine. Any reply to a user action that doesn’t necessitate a trip back to the server is handled by the engine on its own. Such actions include: simple data validation, editing data in memory, and even some navigation. If the engine needs something from the server in order to respond – if it’s submitting data for processing, loading additional interface code, or retrieving new data – the engine makes those requests asynchronously, usually using XML, without stalling a user’s interaction with the application.

Microsoft .Net 3.0 Development India

The .NET Framework is a software development platform developed by Microsoft and is based on the use of a virtual machine that runs an Intermediate Language (IL). Codes/Programs are written to produce IL which is further distributed to users to run on virtual machines. C#, VB.NET and C++ compilers are accessible from Microsoft for developing IL. .NET has given new functionalities and tools to the application programming interface. These improvisations facilitate the process of developing applications for Windows, as well as for web services. .NET framework provides a contemporary, insightful, object-oriented API. High flexibility standards have been implemented in its design to make it multi-language compatible.

.NET Framework 3.0

The .NET 3.0 is the latest version of the .NET Framework released by Microsoft. It is based on the .NET 2.0 Framework and includes in combination with it the following technologies:

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) - The API that is based on XML and vector graphics and aids in the development of the User Interface aspect of an application.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) - The API which enables computers connected by a network to communicate with each other. It combines Web Services, .NET Remoting, Distributed Transactions and Message Queues into a singe model. Windows

Workflow Foundation (WF) - This technology enables developers to build and manage workflow based applications. XAML a XML based language is used to define the workflow structure.

Windows CardSpace (WCS) - WCS is used to store and secure digital identities of users transacting over the Internet.


.NET 3.0 was formerly known as WinFX. The run time components of .Net 3.0 framework are installed by default in Windows Vista but are also available with Windows XP service pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 service pack 1.
Since .NET 3.0 makes use of all the run time components of .NET 2.0 it is completely backward compatible with .NET 2.0.

Enterprise Infrastructure

.NET provides a platform-independent structure for software development, with numerous built-in features. It completely depends on software components and the component based programming models.

The two principal components of .NET are the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLI is a set of terms for a runtime environment, which includes a common type system, Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code, which is machine independent and a base class library. The CLR offers a platform for managing code that conforms to the CLI. The CLR translates the CIL into a local machine code before its execution.

CIL is self-describing through .NET metadata. The metadata is checked by CLR to make sure that the correct method is being deployed. Developers are enabled to generate metadata; though it is also generated by the language compilers in some cases. If a language implementation generates CIL, it can be hosted using the CLR and can then interact with data produced by any other .NET language.

.NET Security

.NET security mechanism has two basic features:

.NET Languages

The CLI has been designed in a way that it supports any object-oriented programming language by sharing a common object model and a large common class library. Some of the languages supported in .Net Framework are:

Why ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a technology for building powerful, dynamic Web applications and is part of the .NET Framework.

Easy Programming Model

ASP.NET makes building real world Web applications dramatically easier. ASP.NET server controls enable an HTML-like style of declarative programming that lets you build great pages with far less code than with classic ASP or technologies like PHP or JSP. Best of all, ASP.NET pages work in all browsers – including Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer. There are a number of Webcasts available to show you how you can migrate your skills to ASP.NET.

Great Tool Support

A broad range of tools support development with ASP.NET. You can work with a simple text editor (even Notepad), take advantage of the freely available Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, or work with a full-powered integrated development environment, such as Visual Studio 2005. For enterprise developers, Visual Studio Team System 2005 includes additional tools for stress-testing and designing Web applications.

Improved Design

ASP.NET helps in creating appealing, functional Web applications.
Master Pages
ASP.NET makes it easy to create and apply a common look-and-feel to your Web site with Master Pages. Change the Master Page, and all pages automatically update to reflect those changes. See this video for more information on Master Pages.

Themes

Give your Web pages a consistent appearance with the built-in theming support in ASP.NET. Easily organize and apply changes to stylesheets and controls by applying a new theme to your pages. See this video for more information on the Theme support in ASP.NET.

Built Upon Standards

ASP.NET helps you create pages compliant with international standards.

XHTML Compliance
Creating XHTML-compliant pages is easy with ASP.NET. Web controls support rendering valid, well-formed XHTML markup with a simple configuration option. This article provides an overview of why creating XHTML markup is important, and how ASP.NET makes it easy.

Accessibility Support

Create Web applications usable by the widest possible audience support for building and testing accessible Web applications. See this article for more information on accessibility support in ASP.NET.

Improved Security

ASP.NET helps you protect your data and users.

Application Services

There is no need to write common code for managing users and personalization with ASP.NET, as these features are included as application services. ASP.NET membership services provide best practices guidance and support for managing access to your Web applications. Watch this video for more information on adding membership and personalization features to your Web applications.

Built-in Protection

ASP.NET provides built-in protection from many common forms of hacker attacks, including cross-site scripting, request-replay attacks and more. See this article for more information on common exploits, and how you can protect your Web applications using ASP.NET.

Improved Performance and Scalability

ASP.NET lets you use serve more users with the same hardware.

Caching

Caching can dramatically improve the performance of Web applications, and ASP.NET supports many forms of caching. Output caching improves the rendering of controls to XHTML. Database caching enables the application to be notified when the underlying database changes, eliminating unnecessary queries. See this video for more information on ASP.NET's caching support.

Web-Farm Session State

ASP.NET session state lets you share session data user-specific state values across all machines in your Web farm. Now a user can hit different servers in the web farm over multiple requests and still have full access to her session. See this article for more information on configuring ASP.NET session state.

Extensible Architecture

ASP.NET can grow and change with your needs.

Provider Model

The application services of ASP.NET use the provider model to connect to external services for storage and more. This enables the developer to change the database or other service used to store the membership, personalization or site map information by editing the configuration. This article series showcases how you can extend ASP.NET via the provider model.

Web Parts

Easily build portal applications with the built-in Web part functionality. Create Web applications that enable end users to organize and personalize their page content and layout. This video shows how you take advantage of Web parts to create highly customizable Web pages.
