ASP.NET AJAX refers to new components in ASP.NET that allow for building rich AJAX styled web applications using the design patterns familiar to ASP.NET developers. ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 was available as a separate add-on for ASP.NET 2.0. With the release of ASP.NET 3.5, the AJAX components have been integrated into ASP.NET (no separate download required - It is also available as a separate download for ASP.NET 2.0).

AJAX components in ASP.NET integrate cross-browser script libraries with the ASP.NET server side Web application framework. This integrated architecture empowers developers to rapidly create pages with sophisticated, responsive user interfaces and more efficient client-server communication by simply adding a few server controls to their pages.
