Should you use typeof or the GetType instance method
Well, today while reading a post in the AJAX forums, I've noticed that this question popped up again. Which should you use (if you have an option). well, it turns out that you should use typeof when you can (and I've searched for an old post I've read in the past to confirm it) Read More...

Quick tip: using Fiddler to catch the traffic in IE7
Some time ago, Rama gave us (users of the AJAX forums) a good tip: Using http://localhost . :12 ... or http://localhost . / .... forces IE to use Fiddler to make the request! The problem is that IE7 is smart (in fact, maybe I should say that in this case, it's behavior is really annoying) and even if... Read More...

Using the new autocomplete from the client side
As you've heard, the AutoComplete has been moved to the ajax toolkit. although this sounds like a logical decision (yes, I'm agreeing with MS on this one), it made my pages stopped working. the bad news is that in order to get the client part working, you do need several imports from the ajax toolkit...

Future bit: setting the score straight
Today I've run a little experience after reading (and writting) some posts on this thread of the ASP.NET forums. Following Matt's info, I've extracted the js files from the Preview dll and I've re-run my previous tests. Matt is almost right: they've really fixed all the bugs but one: the insidious ListView...

Web parts scenarios
After my initial reading of Mike's post, I was under the impression that modifying web parts without a postback was an AJAX 1.0 feature. Unfortunately, after reading his blog post , I understood that this scenario isn't supported in this release. So, you can do 1 and 3 (cross-browser drag and drop and... Read More...

Not all is lost: there's still some hope :)
After spending the day ranting about the RTM version (well, in fact, the problems are with the future bits), it looks like there's still hope. According to Matt, there seems to be a problem with the build process . Lets wait for the correct bits. I hope that at that time I can say that it was all a misunderstanding... Read More...

Profile class in future bits: invokeMethod still doesn't work as expected
Yeah, another bug, reported by a long time ago. it's still there...the original code tries to load (and to save) the profile properties through the appli function method. here's the original code: this.load.apply(this, parameters); Well, not sure on what's the point of writting that code. the only thing...

Authentication services: using them from html pages
If you're using the client authentication services on an ASP.NET page that has a ScriptManager control, then there's nothing here for you. it's safe to move on :) On the other hand, if you're using the client side files and you do need to integrate your page with the authentication of ASP.NET, then keep...

DraggableListItem descriptor incorrectly defined in previewdragdrop.js

If you try to use this class from xml-script, you'll get an error that says something like this: Error: Sys.ArgumentTypeException: Use isDomElement with a null type for element properties e.g., for descriptor use { name: 'foo, isDomElement: true, type: null...

PropertyKey: incorrectly defined in the future bits
Again, another bug that has been propagated to the january future bits... the PropertyKey is being defined in the glitz file as Object. Again: this property should be defined as string, not int. This is becoming a routine...I know I'm talking about the future bits, but this kind of errors is becoming... Read More...

ListView client control: how hard can it be???
This is one of the things that it's really difficult to understand. The ListView client control has been exposing this bug for several months now. I've put in the forums, I've sent emails to the team members during the CTPs/betas, but it seems like no one is able to solve it. the problem: if you click... Read More...

DataSource control: more breaking changes!
In previous versions of the AJAX extensions platform, you could use this control to call remote services exposed by a handler or a data service. The only restriction is that the server component needs to return data in JSON format because that's the only format the control "understands". So, if you had... Read More...
