Use ASP.NET AJAX
ASP.NET AJAX allows developers to choose their preferred method of AJAX development, whether it is server-side programming, client-side programming, or both.
Server-side AJAX Programming
Developers familiar with ASP.NET’s server-side programming model can add AJAX functionality to their applications by wrapping Web server controls in the new UpdatePanel, which enables the server controls to update without a post back. This is as simple as AJAX programming gets.
Client-side AJAX Programming
Developers with a basic understanding of JavaScript can leverage client-side AJAX programming by making calls to remote servers and updating the Web page with the response. The response can be an HTML snippet or an XML document, allowing for simple or extensive updates to the Web page.
