ASP.NET AJAX入门系列（1）：概述

ASP.NET AJAX Beta改动如此之大，鉴于又没有很好的中文参考资料，所以决定最近开始写作ASP.NET AJAX入门系列，这个系列我会把ASP.NET AJAX当作一个全新的东西去对待，不再考虑以前的Atlas，把自己对ASP.NET AJAX的研究与大家分享，便于初学的朋友少走一些弯路。对Atlas熟悉的朋友可以推荐看Dflying Chen的《拥抱变化——从Atlas到ASP.NET AJAX系列》，以及老赵的《深入Atlas系列》。由于个人的能力和掌握的程度有限 ，难免出现错误和遗漏的地方，还请大家多多理解和指正。

OK，让我们从这里开始！

 

一．ASP.NET AJAX组成部分

在ASP.NET AJAX官方网站上有如下三个下载：

1．ASP.NET AJAX：这部分是ASP.NET AJAX的核心部分，包括了核心AJAX类型系统，网络协议层(networking stack)，组件模型，扩展器(extender)基类，以及与ASP.NET集成的服务器端功能(包括广受欢迎的ScriptManager，UpdatePanel，和 Timer控件)。功能列表如下：

2．ASP.NET AJAX “Value-Add”CTP：ASP.NET AJAX社区支持的“增值”CTP部分，包括了以前各个Atlas CTP版本包含的，但并不在完全支持的“核心”1.0 版本内的额外的高级特性。通过进一步的反馈，这些将会逐步稳定的增加到核心1.0中去。功能列表如下：

3．ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit：包含了基于ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 版“核心”下载版本的28个非常酷的免费AJAX控件。它是一个开源项目，由微软和非微软开发人员共同开发的，去CodePlex下载代码。

 

二．安装ASP.NET AJAX

1．在安装ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Beta之前，需要先卸载以前所有的CTP版本。

2．下载ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Beta安装包，安装时Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll程序集将被安装在GAC（Global Assembly Cache）中，所以使用时不需要再在Web站点的Bin文件夹中包括该程序集。

3．下载安装ASP.NET AJAX “Value-Add”CTP和ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit。列表如下：

三．在Visual Studio.NET 2005开发基于ASP.NET AJAX的应用

安装完ASP.NET AJAX后，打开Visual Studio.NET 2005中新建Web Site，在项目模板中会出现一项ASP.NET AJAX-enabled Web site，直接选择它就可以了，如下图：

 

新建完成的项目中会自动在Web.config中做好相关的配置，并且AJAXExtensionToolbox.dll已经添加到了VS的工具箱中，不需要再手工添加。

 

概述篇简单的介绍这里，从下一篇开始学习ASP.NET AJAX中的每一项具体的功能。
