Packaging
The packaging of ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX can be fairly confusing. The basics of the
packaging are:
-
ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0—The ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0, also
referred to as the RTM/Core code, is an independent download. This contains the
functionality that will receive support from Microsoft in the initial release
of the product. The source code is available.
-
ASP.NET AJAX Futures Community Technology Preview (CTP) — The ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX
framework contains a set of functionality that is experimental in nature. This
functionality will eventually become integrated with the RTM/Core code. During
the initial release, the Futures CTP functionality will be a separate download
from the RTM/Core bits. This will not receive specific support from Microsoft
beyond community-based support. The CTP bits require that the RTM/Core bits
already be installed for the CTP bits to be installed. The CTP is also referred
to as Value-Added Bits.
-
Microsoft AJAX Library—The Microsoft AJAX Library is a set of JavaScript client
libraries that make up the standard download to a web browser and provide much
of the support for AJAX in the client. These libraries will work with a non-IIS
server and are available as a separate download. This library is included in
the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 download as well as being available as a
separate download.
-
ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit — The AJAX Control Toolkit is a separate download
that provides a set of client-side GUI widgets that integrate with the ASP.NET
2.0 AJAX framework. The toolkit is licensed separately from the framework and
includes the source code for developers who would like to review the source.
