ASP.NET AJAX on non-Windows platform

There is a strong implication that ASP AJAX can be used on a non-Windows platform, such as Linux. I downloaded the .zip file and un-zipped it. The resulting JavaScript is tightly compressed and thus unreadable. Where can I find the API (loosely speaking); or, in other words, how can I use it?

Hi,

the Microsoft AJAX Library, just a zip file with several .js files in it, contain the client sideframework of ASP.NET AJAX. All the .js files also come with their debug counterpart which have .debug.js in their name.

Maybe some interesting article for you is to usePHP together with the Microsoft AJAX Library.

Grz, Kris.

Thank you. The info in that article was the missing link. I've yet to try it, but I'm sure it will work.

Now that I've had time to check it out, that paper is a little too simplistic. I downloaded and ran the PHP samples, and once I figured out how to tell my web host that it was PHP 5, not 4, they ran just fine.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to move beyond the simple "Hello World" page to somthing more useful.Some explanation of what's going on in HelloService.php and PersonService.php would be very helpful. Or how about converting the ToDoList demo to PHP MS AJAX? That would offer some meat to chew on.

Thanks in advance for the help!

ASP.net AJAX (Atlas) on a Mac

Do you know any comfortable way (i.e. some IDE) to develop ASP.net AJAX interfaced websites on a Mac or (for gods sake) on a LINUX machine?

Kind regards

You could useParallels on a Mac to run Visual Studio. The next release of Parallels will also include the ability to have any Windows program run on the Mac desktop (without showing the virtual Windows desktop) just like a normal Mac app.

I was going to suggest Mono, but then I saw that they don't support ASP.NET 2.0 yet (seehttp://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_ASP.NET). You could, of course, use the Microsoft AJAX Library which is platform agnostic. For instance, you could use it with PHP.
