The new Starter Kit for Ajax.NET Professional [1] will move to a new location where everyone can help building great AJAX enabled web pages and controls. The new URL where you can post your bugs, feedback or whishes is http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=AjaxProStarterKit [2].

I have found a great wiki project on SourceForge called ProntoWiki [1]. The next days I will see where Ajax.NET Professional would fit best in this wiki project. You will find an updated version here: http://munich.schwarz-interactive.de/wiki.aspx?wiki=default [2]

I've started a new url where I put the beta Starter Kit online. It includes the AutoComplete [1], Security [2], Feedback [3] and Wiki [4] example (editor/p@ssw0rd). The default.aspx [5] is testing several data types. The next Starter Kit update will be available end of this month. During this time period I will collect feedback and new ideas to be added to the kit. The download will be available at http://www.ajaxpro.info/ [6].

I have a new demo at http://munich.schwarz-interactive.de/autocomplete.aspx [1] which will use a textbox and Ajax.NET Professional [2] to search for customer names (1st textbox) and then for the orders of this selected customer (2nd textbox).

There are some problems when using Fiddler [1] with the Visual Studio built-in web server. By default Fiddler is only changing the proxy settings for http and https. The problem is that Visual Studio will start a web server on a random port address which will not be captured using Fiddler. To fix this you start Fiddler and modify the proxy settings in Internet Explorer (or any other web browser): set proxy to 127.0.0.1 and port 8888 for all protocols, not only http and https. This will allow you to use the one and only debugging proxy.

Today Google put the GWT (Google Web Toolkit [1]) online which includes several UI controls, but also the possibility to exchange data between server and client and back. While downloading the framework and watching the examples I found following page: Sharing objects between Java source and JavaScript [2]. Hm, if I compare the data types that are supported with Ajax.NET Professional [3] I feel happy. Since I added more .NET 2.0 support like generic Dictionary or Nullable types... I can use any code that I'm currently using, great. In the last weeks I removed a lot of old common ASP.NET postbacks to AJAX requests. Most features could easily replaced by adding only the AjaxMethod attribute, no other C# code had to be changed. On the client-side, of course, I had to write some JavaScript, but this you have to do everytime you are talking about Web 2.0 or AJAX.

I have modified an example form the script.aculo.us [1] web site that is showing some effects for a shopping cart web application. The example is using a generic dictionary (Dictionary<string,int>) to store the article and count in a session variable. Note: you must use the latest version of Ajax.NET Professional [2] (6.5.17.1 or higher).

I'm glad to see that my Ajax.NET Professional [1] library (version 6.5.15.2 or higher) is working with Internet Explorer 5.0 and 5.5. Both versions are supporting requests using the ActiveX XmlHttpRequest object or (if ActiveXs are disabled) the IFrame proxy. I've started logging Ajax.NET requests on my demo site http://www.ajaxpro.info/ [1], and here is the statistic I got after collecting data for some days only (sorted by web browser agent):

The next days I will have a deeper look into web sites that are using AJAX frameworks that will replace the typical postback used in ASP.NET.

I have written a short example about how to use web forms security with Ajax.NET Professional. The example (C# and VB.NET) is included in the latest version available at http://www.ajaxpro.info/ [1]. Discuss the security.aspx example at Google groups [2]. (Update: there are about 2.500 members reading and writing posts!!!)

To have more tests on older web browsers I need the full setup files for Internet Explorer 5.0. Does anybody of you have a CD from a magazine that you can send me? Internet Explorer 5.0 and 5.5 are not any more available through the MSDN because of the Java virtual machine. Would be nice to get old web browsers running...

I got already a lot of feedback to build Starter Kits for Ajax.NET Professional [1]. Today I started to create an environment where I can simple build C# and Visual Basic .NET example web pages. The Starter Kit will be included in every release, now. The latest version 6.5.4.1 [1] includes this kit already. I will add more and more examples how to use Ajax.NET Professional in your web application, and everytime I will create C# AND Visual Basic.NET source code.
