Programming Rich UI Client/Server Web Applications with ASP.Net Ajax
Konstantin Triger
In the past we were used to server side programming for Web applications, treating browser as a thin client. Now we usually combine server and client side development, sometimes sacrificing clean architecture to provide better user experience. In this session we will see how we can use ASP.Net Ajax to build a pure client/server architecture using browser as a smart client, communicating with server using Web Services only. No server side page processing will exist since no PostBack will be ever made! The following topics will be covered: - Creating client side JavaScript "code behind" for Asp.Net pages and user controls. - Creating and using client side controls for data binding, raising and receiving application events. - Building secure, ASP.Net Ajax - compatible end points with WCF. - Fitting all together.
