microsoft asp.net: taking ajax to the next level
DESCRIPTION
Hear how ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 makes building pure client-side AJAX Web applications even easier, and watch us build an entire data-driven ASP.NET AJAX application from start to finish by taking advantage of only JavaScript, HTML pages, and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services. Also learn about new ASP.NET AJAX features including the DataView control, declarative templates, live client-side data binding, WCF, and REST integration.TRANSCRIPT

ASP.NET Server-SidePages are rendered on the server and updated through postbacks
ASP.NET Server-Side AJAX (AJAH)Pages are rendered on the server and updated through AJAX requests for HTML
ASP.NET Client-Side AJAXPages are rendered on the client and updated through Ajax requests for JSON

Data Sources
ASP.NET AJAX is compatible with anything that exposes JSON:
ASMX Web ServicesWCF Web ServicesHTTP HandlersJavaScript arraysASP.NET MVC JSonResultADO.NET Data Services REST Services.NET RIA Services

Why Templates are Good
for (var i=0;i < data.length;i++){ row = "<tr>"; row += "<td>" + data[i].Title + "</td>"; row += "<td>" + data[i].Director +
"</td>"; table += row;}
$get("movieBody").innerHTML = table;

Why Templates are Good
movieView.set_data(data);
<tbody id="movieBody" class="sys-template"><tr> <td>{{ Title }}</td> <td>{{ Director }}</td>
<td>{{ DateReleased.localeFormat("D") }}</td>
</tr></tbody>

Technology Independent
Client-Side ASP.NET AJAX…
Works with any modern browser including IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera.
Works with any back-end technology that exposes JSON (not dependent on ASP.NET)
Works with HTML pages, no need for ASP.NET.

Live Bindings
{{ Title }} Used to execute JavaScript in the context of the current data item
{binding Title }WPF style binding syntaxSupports live binding
![Page 34: Microsoft ASP.NET: Taking AJAX to the Next Level](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060115/5577b017d8b42af34a8b526e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Live Bindings
One-way, One-time - The data value is updated only the first time that data binding is invoked. {{ CompanyName }}
One-way, Live - If the underlying data item is modified, the rendered data value is updated automatically.<span>{binding CompanyName}</span>
Two-way, Live - If the user changes the data value, the value of the underlying data item is updated. In addition, if the data item is modified from another source, the rendered data value is updated.<input type=“text” value=“{binding CompanyName}” />
