Hi Vipendra, The Microsoft Ajax Library is a JavaScript library that provides the features for the client portion of the ASP.NET AJAX framework. Components. The library provides an infrastructure to build either visual or non-visual JavaScript components. A global JavaScript object – Sys.Application – is responsible for managing the lifecycle of client components. JavaScript extensions – An enhanced type system is introduced to emulate object-oriented constructs such as namespaces, classes and interfaces; and to perform reflection on client types. Abstraction API – Common operations on the DOM (retrievingelements, setting styles and other manipulations) are automaticallytranslated by the library into browser-specific calls. Ajax – A set of client components is provided to handle Ajax requests and web-service calls. Application Services – The library allows accessing the ASP.NET Memership, Authentication, Roles and Profile services from the client side. Recently, new features have been announced as part of the ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 release: Template Engine – Allows displaying data on the client side by using HTML templates and a custom binding notation. This approach avoids performing page rendering on the server side. Declarative instantiation of client components – Allows registration, instantiation and configuration of client components using markup code, without writing any imperative JavaScript code. Live Bindings – Synchronize element properties. Please refer the below links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET_AJAX http://www.microsoftpdc.com/2009/FT29 Thanks
