Change in Ajax between VS2005 and VS2010 - ajax

I've never used AJAX before. I'm new to web design but I have a website that I need to add certain dynamic functionality to. Ajax seems like it would help. Problem is, most of the Ajax articles relate to VS2005. I'm using VS2010 Premium Edition. There must have been lots of changes between the versions. I don't have any Ajax toolbox tabs. I didn't even have a timer control available in the toolbox - I have now added one from the System.Web.Extensions Assembly.
Does anyone have info on what's happened to Ajax in VS2010?
Thanks
Rob.

AJAX hasn't changed in all that time. AJAX toolkits have been introduced, though. You should look into what is available. Particularly, I would look at ASP.Net AJAX (along with the AJAXControlToolkit), and JQuery.

sharepoint webparts, Swap image on click

I'm working on sharepoint project, i have like 1000 image i want to upload, i need webpart or something to do swap images on click, is there any web part that do this?
what the best method to use on my situation.
Are you a SharePoint developer? If not, I'd strongly suggest not even trying to do this. Modifying SharePoint beyond out-of-the-box options requires some extensive asp.net and SharePoint-centric developer skills. Even then, it's not a joy to work with.
In the past, for modifying UI interactions, I found the saner approach is to manipulate the DOM post-render. Load up jQuery and then upon page render, do your thing.

How to AJAXify ASP:Wizard Control

Happy Friday All,
I have an ASP.net 2.0 website that I'm updating to .Net 3.5. The site uses a master page and I've placed asp:UpdatePanel in it.
One of the pages has a 3-step wizard control that I'd like to "Ajaxify" in some way. Are there better controls in the AJAX control toolkit that provide an improved user experience over the asp:Wizard control?
Please share with me your efforts to improve upon the asp:Wizard control. Did you move to a different control? Stay with asp:Wizard and add effects to it?
Thanks,
Sid
Kind of late, but I'll answer. I used the Telerik RadAjaxManager control to ajaxify my Wizard control, and I regretted it because of performance issues.
If I were you, I'd pursue setting up divs and use JQuery to selectively show/hide them to emulate a wizard.

Telerik RadGrid working examples

I'm looking for some examples of production websites that currently use the Telerik Rad Grid. I'd really like to see some real world scenarios in action, other than the Telerik RadGrid demo. Does anyone know of any websites that use it?
This article from their website says that MSDN, TechNet, and CodePlex websites are using pieces of their components.
"Microsoft has chosen to implement RadEditor in the Wiki Annotation Editor...[and] all Project Discussion pages, becoming the custom inline editor."
Here is one for you... The first tab uses the RadGrid control and the second tab uses the RadScheduler control...

I will post blog on this later to demonstrate
There are some case studies on their website. like for winforms, asp.net ajax etc.
Most controls like that are used in internal webapps. It is hard to provide public facing examples of sites using DataGrid-like at all(not impossible, just rare), let alone by one vendor on one platform.

Ajax Toolkit ReorderList Two components with the same id 'componentid' can't be added to the applicaiton

Line 3655
Char 59
Ajax Toolkit ReorderList Two components with the same id 'componentid' can't be added to the applicaiton. When using with a database to update a simple list it works fine until it is being used very fast dragging multiple things reasonably fast. This occurs in IE, Firefox and Chrome. It appears to be something that allows the same id to be created at a guess though it is in the bowls of the Ajax toolkit somewhere. Does anyone have the answer - else I'm off to painstakingly debug the toolkit code.
Ended up implementing using Jquery plugin. Works much nicer and cleaner than the the MS Ajax toolkit ReorderList. This was not happening on the asp.net at there was no database attached
