It depends on you. What you want to implement i.e. AJAX toolkit or using JavaScript. If you are good enough in JavaScript and can write a code that is browser independent, then i suggest to go for JavaScript. You can refer a book AJAX in Action By Dave Crane

Hi sbua, this is just a matter of taste. If you like saving time you can use the ajaxControlToolkit, but if you more the one who writes everything on his own (from memory management to the OS ;) ) you can write the code yourself. I suggest using the Ajax ControlToolkit since it provides most of the functions you will need. By the way, the Ajax Control Toolkit is just a library containing controls implemented using a concept called Ajax. So this is like the Windows Forms Controls, there are implemented with a concept called object-oriented programming using the .NET framework. Hope this helps. Regards Sebastian

It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.
