Atlas vs ASP.NET Callback

I'm not sure if there was already a post on this.. if so I apologise

My question is what difference is there between Atlas and ASP.NET
callback and why should people go on Atlas rather than on the ASP.NET
2.0 Callback?

I used both of them:-

Atlas was easy to use, just put the controls you wish in an UpdatePanel
and all that, however the update panel still flickers if you put lots
of controls in it, sort of minimizing the refresh button to just the
update panel

on the other hand, I had quite some time learning ASP.NET 2.0 Callback
but now I'm handling it quite effectively...

Am I missing something? Can someone really point me the pros and cons,
or which one of them is the best?

Thank you :)

forgot to add something..... ASP.NET 2.0 Callback doesn't even flicker.
no flickers compared with the Atlas UpdatePanel

Well Atlas is mostly simpler than ASP.NET 2.0 callbacks, as you discovered.
Therefore that's one reason to go with Atlas.
I think the biggest reason NOT to go with Atlas is because it's not done
yet. It's bleeding edge technology and you could get cut.
Client Side Callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0 are complete and functional and works
flawlessly even if its a bit more of a manual process. Good programmers
aren't afraid of a little code.

I would go further and say Atlas is bareley even started and does very little
of actual practical use. Looks like it will be nice, but in about about 18
months time.

I'm going to be diving into ASP.net 2.0 on a small project. I'd also like to use it as an excuse to start playing with some AJAX techniques. So, that leads to the obvious question: AJAX.net vs. Atlas? Anyone have any opinions on that? It looks like Atlas is still considered 'beta' so perhaps that's one strike against it.

Hi Guys, As we wall know Atlas is a fairly new feature everyone is talking about (atleast at my school). Even though the idea of Ajax has been used in the past i was wondeing if anyone could explain a few things to me. Comparing the performance of both asp.net client call backs and Atlas which is faster? Do they necessarily do the same things? Are there things Atlas can do that client callbacks can't? Secondly, even though there is a Atlas...

Hi Everybody, i want to load dynamically content from some user controls (with forms, or some data-controls) using atlas. So i use an UpdatePanel for loading the user control into a placeholder. Using buttons for loading new content works fine. But i still want to use a function which is callable per javascript. I think this way is more flexable than using the Buttons, becaus every button needs it's own Sub-Routine. But i want to have...

Hi All, Is there any way to disable controls when doing an atlas callback? We have a webform with controls like drop downs that are in Atlas Update Panels. When you make a selection in the drop down, it updates other control values on the page. The problem is when a user makes a change, then the callback starts, if the user like scrolls the drop down during the callback, the values get all messed up and the controls are not properly...
