ASP.Net controls & AJAX

[Sharon]

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had experience using ajax with asp.net controls.
What i'm looking for, are ways to implement and possible problems.
A way to implement could be rendering the control on the server side,
and send the html string back to javascript.
A possible problem is the control post back behavior and control view state
usage.
Thanks,
Sharon.

Well...

Atlas is more powerful, but the unique advantage of script callbacks is
that they are in production (ASP .net 2.0 ships script call bakcs), and
ATLAS
hasn't been officially released.

Another good point of Script Call Back is that they are quite easy to
use. The main drawback... is not a powerful thing :-(

Bye
Braulio

Thanks Braulio.
Does "script callbacks" have any advantage over Atlas?

I've been working with ATLAS a lot recently. The form variables do get
passed back, it seems that everything still goes through the initial
stages of page generation. So control view state and form field
updates don't pose a problem. And yes, you can use the control's
render method, wrapping your own HtmlTextWriter around a StringWriter
based on a StringBuilder, to get the HTML text to return to the client.

Considering that ATLAS is still CTP,
did you encounter any problems, bugs?
