I read the post [1] from Graig Gemmill and was thinking the same. When search.live.com has removed the beta logo I started several tests. Every test failed because I didn't get the results on the first page. Try to search for Ajax.NET (which is my Ajax library [2]) and you will get only results for the domain ajax.net. I think this is a very bad result when searching for my library. I'm happy that the domain owner added a link to my web site at the bottom of the page.

I have started to create a AjaxPro Java Edition which will be 100% code compatible on the client-side. That means there is no change of JavaScript and HTML when moving around, no code change when developing JavaScript controls. Look at the following code:

The weekend I had time to do some serialization performance changes. The new beta version that is available here [1] is about three times faster than the current release version [2]. I have done some changes to the IJavaScriptConverter interface (method Serialize) to support the StringBuilder like it was in earlier days with Ajax.NET (not AjaxPro). There are some more changes done to improve the serialization from .NET types to JSON.

Because there are a lot of developers using the stand-alone JSON parser (which is included in the release package of AjaxPro [1]) I decided today to serialize the .NET data type System.DateTime with the UniversalSortableDateTimePattern (yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z') as a simple string. You can use this string as input value, too, it will be parsed to an .NET System.DateTime.

As I mentioned already that new AjaxPro [1] releases will include a simple Visual Studio .NET 2005 template for C# and VB.NET. You can download the latest version 6.9.22.2 [2] including this file at the CodePlex project site [2].

Today the Ajax.NET Professional Google group [1] has reach the 4.000 member border. I did a search for AJAX [2] for all the Google groups available and was very happy to see my group at the second top position. Only Google with the Google Web Toolkit hits this group with additional 500 more members.

I read a nice post here [1] from Long Zheng who got two copies of the new book Ajax with ASP.NET [2] you can win, read his blog.

I will add the VS.NET 2005 project templates for C# and VB.NET to the next releases, too. A current version is available at Google Groups - AjaxPro [1].

The was a discussion at the Google group about the System.NotSupportedException after changing files in App_Code folder. As there is no static assmebly name for the App_Code folder it will generated on each "rebuild" a new name that will look like very strange. The name of the assembly is used for any AjaxPro call and this will be a problem when the name changes after sending the JavaScript wrapper to the client.

Today I put the source code online at http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=AjaxPro [1]. New releases will be still uploaded to http://www.ajaxpro.info/ [2]. If you find any error, bug or problem please ask the community first at http://groups.google.com/group/ajaxpro/ [3]. There is a search box for all post that may help. Bugs that are not fixed in the Google group should be added to the issue tracker page at http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/List.aspx?ProjectName=AjaxPro [4].

Today I will start with moving the source code to http://www.codeplex.com [1]. Hopefully it is done in some hours, during this time period I have stopped the download option on my web site.
