Using client templates, part 2: Live Bindings
In part 1, we saw how to use DataView to render JavaScript data using a simple template. In this post, we'll see how rich bindings unlock richer scenarios where user changes automatically propagate back to the data and to all UI that is bound to it.

Need a simple grid for ASP.NET Ajax?
A client grid control is probably the most requested control for the Ajax Control Toolkit. It will come eventually but if you need a simple grid control right now, DotNetSlackers' Ajax Data Controls do a pretty good job. Their grid supports pagination, sorting, drag and drop of columns, in-place edition and is server-integrated. They also provide repeater types of controls but those are made a little more complex to use because of the lack of data binding. The whole thing is open-source. w00t!

Using client templates, part 1
Last week, we shipped the first preview for the Ajax work we're doing in ASP.NET 4.0 under the simple form of a simple script file (release and debug versions).

Using ScriptManager with other frameworks
ScriptManager is a useful control. It manages script references, removes duplicates, enables localization and debug/release modes, enables script combining and makes client-side component-based development easier (components register their script dependencies with ScriptManager without the page developer having to know those dependencies). But one thing we should have anticipated was that this control would be interesting to developers who wish to use a different framework than the Microsoft Ajax Library.
