Ajax.NET Professional Library
Every once in a while, a technology is extremely simplified with the introduction of new wrapper libraries. These libraries use existing technologies but make the development process easier to use by wrapping the sometimes difficult concepts into easier-to-use, more simplified concepts. So, the term wrapper library comes from having a library of code wrapped around existing technology. You can tell when a great wrapper library is released because of its instant popularity. This chapter covers one such wrapper library known as the Ajax library for .NET. In this chapter and the next, we will show off the simplicity of talking back and forth between client browsers and your application server without page postbacks. We’ll also dig a little under the hood of the library to show you how and why the library works.

Enabling AJAX in ASP.NET with No Code
Even though the Web enables some amazing interactions between people and organizations around the world, the development of the Web has not been smooth or easy. Some of the earliest enhancements provided ways to serve up dynamic content and allow execution of code on both the server and the client. Yet after 15 years of evolution, the browser is still a stunted alternative to rich desktop applications, constantly flickering and sending redundant information across the network as each user interacts with Web pages. Even though Web applications accessed through browsers are a great cross-platform way to deploy sophisticated applications, they still hearken back to the days of applications hosted on a mainframe that users access with dumb terminals. The next version of the Web requires some fundamental changes in how applications interact with the Web server.

THE INTEGRATION OF WEB TECHNOLOGY AT ATLAS
ATLAS (Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System) accelerates heavy-ion elements, and consists of 2 separate ion source injectors, 64 superconducting resonators, and 3 target areas. As with any complex accelerator facility, database management systems are used extensively to support both the archival of operational data, and the real-time control needs of the accelerator. Web technology has recently been integrated into the already existing ATLAS Oracle Rdb database system and control system documentation to enhance communication with the operators, control system engineers, and other technical support staff at ATLAS. This paper reviews the historical development of the control system database structure and user interface, and the Internet software developer tools used to create a new online interface.

Introduction to the Provider Model
Before you begin using the provider model introduced in ASP.NET 2.0, take a step back. You probably already know that ASP.NET is a way to build applications for the Internet. For the Internet means that an application’s display code travels over HTTP- which is a stateless protocol. ASP.NET works with a disconnected architecture. The simple nature of this model means that requests come in and then responses are sent back. On top of that, ASP.NET does not differentiate one request from another. The server containing an ASP.NET application is simply reacting to any request thrown at it.
