ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit New Release
Hello guys
This Morning -On my way online- I have found in the great Scott Guthrie's Blog that the ASP.NET AJAX team has released a new version of their control Toolkit.
The new version really rocks. they have fixed about 125 bugs and extended some of it's features.
But the biggest thing in this version is the support of the new "ToolkitScriptCompiner" (which can replace the usual ScriptManager Control) to add more behaviors to your page like Dynamically detects which JS- scripts the requested page from your site will need, and merge them all into one file that will be downloaded to the Client's machine with your page.
By this way, you will reduce the amount of bytes that have to be downloaded with your pages and of course, will reduce load time and increase your application's overall performance.
Also, the Validation controls for ASP.NET is now working with the ToolKit Controls.
another thing here is that it still depends on the ASP.NET Ajax1.0, means that you will not need anything to upgrade to the latest version except updating The controlToolkit's assembly to the newer one.
Well, I think Scott is better than me in these things :D
So, let's move together to his post see you there.
