--> AJAX Wrapper for .NET - Impersonation Failure

AJAX Wrapper for .NET

Michael Schwarz posted an update to his AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML) .NET wrapper. With the release date of ASP.NET 2.0 with Script Callbacks still some time away from release, this is an ideal replacement to get the Google Suggest/Maps type functionality in ASP.NET 1.1 applications today. [Update - The script callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0 would be useful to get the asynchronous data retrieval bits working and is not a full AJAX replacement, if you can call the combination of technologies that]

You can download his wrapper here. More information on AJAX available here.

Some other ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 Script callback links:

* The syntax for using script callbacks have changed slightly from the example between beta 1 and beta 2. The naming has changed from client callbacks to script callbacks and the methods that handles the client scripts has all been moved from the Page class to the ClientScriptManager class.

AJAX rocks. But that makes me wonder - isn't it in essence a smart client?! hmmm....
Smart client rocks.

Komaan. Dit sou my eerste post gewees het vanoggend!! Onthou jy's op SA tyd, so ek't 'n verskoning! :o)<br /><br />Ja-nee, baie oulike util die. Ek is net so 'n bietjie worried oor security - dit lyk nie asof die Javascript file wat hy dinamies bou enige sekuriteits inligting terugpos nie. Dit beteken dat jy vanaf enige plek kan post sonder om eers op die regte site te wees. En jy kan presies sien hoe om te post deur die script file oop te maak.<br /><br />Ek het self omtrent 3 jaar gelede so 'n program geskryf (met ten minste session security) in VB6. Maar toe was AJAX nog nie ge-coin nie en die source code behoort nou aan vorige my werkgewer. D'Oh!!

Ernst, it's different from smart clients because you can't work disconnected using AJAX techniques.

I disagree. AJAX IS disconnected.

Using AJAX techniques or an AJAX engine behind the scenes works like your normal http request/response interaction. The trick is just your users don't see this happening. They don't see the request/responses between the browser and the web server.

Something I also need to correct which is not entirely correct in my post is that the combination of the technologies that make up AJAX entails much more than what you get by implementing script callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0. Script callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0 is just a technology that can be used to simplify the implementation of one of the technologies required, namely the asynchronous transfer bits.

Adam, how do you make an asynchronous request to a remote server if you have no connection to it? Maybe I'm missing the point, would be cool if you clarified a bit :-)
