Getting Started with Ajax

I'd like to start working with Ajax in VS 2008 Pro., but it's important that
I not use anything that is not standard with VS 2008 Pro. (with all
installation options selected).

Does anyone have suggestions of good resources I can check out that keep the
extras separate from the standard VS product?

I have not yet moved to Visual Studio 2008 or .NET 3.0, so I have really
done any searching, but here are the three things that I would try:

1. I don't think it is out quite yet, but an author that writes wonderful
ASP.NET books and seems to like AJAX is Stephen Walther
(http://www.superexpert.com/Books/Asp.../Default.aspx). I expect
that in the near future he will be writing a book named ASP.NET 3.0
Unleashed. Or, if you would prefer not to wait, you can buy a different book
on ASP.NET 3.0.

2. Search the MSDN Library using the word AJAX (I'm not sure what this will
return, because Microsoft often refers to what we call AJAX as client
callbacks).

3. I'm guessing you have already tried this, but I would try looking for a
site that lists the changes between ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.0. Somewhere
on one of the pages there you should be able to find the namespaces involved
with the AJAX of ASP.NET 3.0 (I believe Microsoft has a page that lists the
changes between 2.0 and 3.0)

can't you just stick to what's in your VS08 Pro install? or did you already
install some Ajax "extras" ?

if you need to keep things like this absolutely separated you might consider
using a virtual machine ...

Hi Scott,

The core functions of ASP.NET AJAX is now built-in in .NET Framework 3.5.
To get additional ready-to-use AJAX enabled controls, you might need Ajax
Control Toolkit which is released under Microsoft Permissive License and is
always a separate download.

ScottGu's blog has more information on this:

#ASP.NET AJAX in .NET 3.5 and VS 2008 - ScottGu's Blog
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...-in-net-3-5-an
d-vs-2008.aspx

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nathan, but I am looking for concrete references that meet my needs.
I know where I can search for online stuff and these mostly come back with
references to VS 2005 and the Ajax Toolkit, which is why I posted the
particular question I did.

I don't think you've understood my question. I want to just stick to what's
in my 2008 install, that's the whole point of my question. No, I did not
install any Ajax extras and I don't want to do that. It's not a matter of
keeping things separated, I need to find resources on how to use what is
installed by default, as adding extras is not an option in my business
environment.

Well, best of luck to you, then - you're really going to need it...

What is so terribly difficult to understand about that?
Because it's unbelievably short-sighted...

The AJAX Control Toolkit is specifically designed to be an add-on to Visual
Studio.NET to make development of AJAX solutions easier - how on earth can
that possibly be a bad thing...?

What about Web Deployment Projects? Are you not "allowed" to use those
either...?

Hi! I have a pretty simple AJAX request that just GETs the content of a page depending on a name that is fed to it. I'm parsing the page in quite a complex way, so I'm using the DOM to make it a bit easier. Having created my parser, I realised that document.getElementById() doesn't work (>.<), because I'm trying to use it on the AJAX response, which isn't the document. So I tried just referring to the AJAX response variable, then realised...
