AJAX Toolkit: Latest release

Can anyone recommend any references or textbooks which provide a comprehensive overview of the latest release of AJAX and the Toolkit?

The walkthroughs, samples, and forum topics are helpful. However, being new to the application(s), I feel as if I'm starting in the middle, and I'm struggling to really understand the big picture. I'd like to really understand the details what is happening under the hood, and how everything fits together

Hi,

you can find several interesting videos upon the subject:http://www.asp.net/Learn/videos/default.aspx?tabid=63#ajax. I'm not sure if there are any books about the toolkit at this moment. To get a first decent grasp on the subject I suggest that you read the documentation:http://ajax.asp.net/docs/.

Grz, Kris.

The videos look interesting, I'll give them a try.

Somehow when I was going thru the AJAX and Toolkit areas, I missed them. There is so much there, and it is spread around so much, its difficult to grasp it all.

Thanks

hahaha i can understand the frustration, but there is nothing we can do. just have to be patient and wait then... i hope the release come up soon..

I have started just using the latest checked in version. I find it easier to just fix any problems with the latest version (and then submit a patch) then it is to use older "release" versions that are buggy and feature poor. The few problems I have found were easily fixed.

Thanks for submitting patches, that's very helpful.

We're currently going through the verification steps of our release processes, so there will be a new release within the next few days. We wanted to hit end of May but missed it by a bit, but there's some really great stuff in there so I think it was the right call versus pulling stuff out.

Thank you for the update. we appreciate it

Please!! Please! Can we have VB.Net examples for everything! Some of us don't know C#, and thing don't alwasy seem to translate 100%

Thanks

Thanks for the update Shawn

Hey folks - thanks for your patience (yes, we slipped a bit <G>).

The new release is nowposted with lots of great new features. Enjoy!

As always, let us know if you run into any issues (or submitPatches!).

Highlights for this release:

A number of fixes identified as important by the community including designer support for Tabs and Web Services callback generation.

Could somebody post what your release procedures are? Doesn't anybody go through and check all of the work items that are attached to changes to make sure that the change was good before moving into the release build?

Work item10039 has a very nasty bug that prevents any selections in a FilteredTextBoxExtender. That keeps one of the core controls from working correctly and really breaks the entire release IMHO, yet it is in your release version.

Should I have just opened up a different work item? I didn't think that was correct since the original work item was (and still is) pending. I probably did mis-post my patch. I am confused on when to use the Upload Patch on the Source Code tab, there isn't any guidance I can find on that.

Please open a new work item and mention the old one. It seems that the fix was verified for at least the scenario they had in mind, but it may well have introduced a different problem. Sorry for the trouble!

OK, I posted a new work item. A suggestion for the future would be to change the status of the work item after it is reviewed. With the release imminent and the status still at "proposed" I didn't think it was actually going to be in the release version. If I had known I would have tried harder to get someone's attention.

hi do we have documentation of how to use the new features in the latest toolkit?

for example i believe that you have added catching of selection event in the autocomplete? but how do i leverage this?
