ASP.NET AJAX is well known for its ability to improve the user experience of Web applications. With Visual Studio Team System you can also measure the business value of adding ASP.NET AJAX to your Web applications. Specifically you can use the Load and Web Testing capabilities of Visual Studio Team System to explore how the difference in HTTP data transmission size affects the performance and s...

In this video we see how the unit testing features of Visual Studio Team System integrate unit testing directly into the Visual Studio IDE. Presented by Eric Lee Date: 09 February 2007

With the DropDown control extender from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, you can present the user with a drop-down list of options that trigger a partial-page update elsewhere on the Web page. The option selected by the user is passed to the server, allowing your server-side code to process the selection before completing the partial-page update.

In this video we see a demonstration of the variety of options available to configure the appearance and the behavior of the Calendar extender control from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.

To let the user know that the network conversation is taking place, the ASP.NET AJAX UpdateProgress control provides immediate feedback by displaying an animated image, ‘loading’ text, or other HTML that disappears once the ...

The AutoComplete extender control from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit provides real-time suggestions to the user as he or she types in a text box on the Web page, where the list of suggestions is obtained by an asynchronous call to a Web service on the server.

This video takes another look at the AJAX Incremental Page Display Pattern in which the Web page is retrieved and displayed incrementally. In this video the data is retrieved from the server using HTTP GET and POST requests, rather than the earlier demonstration of using Web service calls.
