Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax Road Map

Posted in Ajax News by Dion Almaer on the July 4th, 2008

Microsoft has come out with a road map for the Ajax side of ASP.NET, which has been simplified to be just: Framework and tools in one versioned package; Ajax components will be released separately on Codeplex.

There is a bold goal at the beginning of the document (why is the doc a PDF/.doc and not just HTML!!!):

Make ASP.NET Ajax the first-class choice for all Web 2.0 developers

They are going to be catching up with richer CSS selection and DOM manipulation:

PLAIN TEXT
JAVASCRIPT:
  1.  
  2. $query(“textarea.rich”)
  3.   .addHandler(“focus”, function(e) {
  4.     Sys.Debug.trace(“focused into “ + (e.eventTarget.id || “?”));
  5.   })
  6.   .setStyle(“width”, function() {
  7.     return (document.body.clientWidth – 10) + “px”;
  8.   })
  9.   .create(Contoso.UI.RichTextBehavior, {
  10.     showToolbar: true,
  11.     fonts: [“Arial”, “Times”, “Courier”]
  12.   });
  13.  

We have got some animation going on:

PLAIN TEXT
JAVASCRIPT:
  1.  
  2. $query(“.sprite”).animate([
  3.     new Sys.Animation.FadeIn(300),
  4.     {
  5.       “style.backgroundColor”: “#ff0000”,
  6.       “style.fontSize”: “2em”),
  7.       duration: 500
  8.     },
  9.     new Sys.Animation.FadeOut(300)
  10.   ])
  11. );
  12.  

What else?

  • Accessibility
  • Drag & Drop
  • Client-side Controls and Behavior
  • Interoperability: OpenAjax hub support
  • Tooling, tooling, tooling
