Hi Michael,
as you know I've sent you an ASPToday article comparing 1), 3), and 4)
All three have their stremgths:
1) Ajax.NET Pro - I use it to do the basic AJAX stuff like I showed in the article; it works in all main browsers if you write cross-browser _javascript_; there's almost no web.config stuff to do; I do think however that better documentation is needed, especially for newbies; I'd like to see more samples too. I used to do direct XmlHttpRequest stuff but Ajax.NET Pro certainly gives me more advanced options
3) Anthem.NET - I developed a few controls for this library and am fairly active in the forum; it's easy to use when you want to Ajaxify an already existing page or create new ASP.NET pages with special server controls; they give devs the advantage of an already known programming paradigm and above that additional functionality - it also works in most
main browsers using cross-browser _javascript_; there's almost no web.config stuff to do; poor documentation but excellent examples with download, both for ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0
4) Atlas - this one is the easiest regarding the topic 'Ajaxifying' already existing web applications - just by wrapping your controls inside an UpdatePanel you're basically done; it does require a bit more web.config stuff; I like the added extenders but they require extra web.config stuff and in certain cases also a special database for keeping track of information via Profile service; excellent documentation and supereasy installment; it only works with ASP.NET 2.0; works with all main browsers if you write cross-browser _javascript_
That is MPOV (My Point Of View) :-)
PD: You may want to add MagicAJAX.NET too - seems like another easy-to-use solution: http://www.magicajax.net/ (I haven't tried it yet but would like to include it in a future comparison article on the then biggest or best ajax libraries/frameworks)
Cheers,
Pieter

Hi,
I'd like to create one big thread here that will compare all of the
AJAX frameworks available for .NET. As you know they are very
different, so not everything can be compared. But it is interesting
for me and all web developers to see the advantages for each library,
and where you have to be carefully.
We will give every framework a number, please use this number to write
your comments.
1) Ajax.NET Professional
2) AjaxAspects
3) Anthem.NET
4) Atlas
5) Bitkraft for ASP.NET
6) Callback (ASP.NET 2.0)
7) ComfortASP
8) ComponentArt AJAX Controls
9) Dart PowerWEB LiveControls
10) FastPage
11) Telerik radControls (AJAX)
12) zumiPage
What are your experiences?
What are the dis-/advantages?
Why do you prefer one framework?
What are you still missing in all of the frameworks?
What about security, performance?
