Is there an ASP.NET AJAX framework other than just using UpdatePanel & Friends or the ASP.NET AjaxControlToolkit?

Currently I am using plain ICallbackEventHandler calls but it gets quite complicated a while as a lot of serialization needs to be done.

Any suggestions?

After some trial and error I have found out that the best way (for me) for handling Ajax in an ASP.NET Web forms application.

  • ASP.NET AJAX Script services for all AJAX calls. Returns JSON for complex types
  • jQuery for the GUI and for the Effects.

Works really nice, and I am in full control of the output.

That's not an AJAX framework, but I won't vote you down for it ;-)

There are tons of Ajax Frameworks for ASP.NET. Some of them are; Anthem.NET, Ra-Ajax (my project), Gaia Ajax, AjaxPro.NET and probably hundreds of others. My personal favorite (shameless plug) is obvously Ra-Ajax since that's what I am working with. (founder of)

Have a look at Ajax Calendar Starter-Kit to see its capabilities...
