AJAX Control Toolkit Vs JQuery

The Ajax Control Toolkit

Over 100,000 developers download the Ajax Control Toolkit every month. That’s a mind-boggling number of downloads. We realize that the Ajax Control Toolkit is extremely popular among ASP.NET Web Forms developers and we want to continue to invest in the Ajax Control Toolkit.

If you are adding JavaScript interactivity to an ASP.NET Web Forms application, and you don’t want to write JavaScript, then we recommend that you use the server controls in the Ajax Control Toolkit. Using the Ajax Control Toolkit does not require knowledge of JavaScript and the toolkit enables you to build applications with the concepts familiar to ASP.NET Web Forms applications developers.

If, however, you are interested in creating client-side interactivity without server controls then we recommend that you use jQuery.

We plan to continue to release new versions of the Ajax Control Toolkit every few months. Our goal is to continue to improve the quality of the Ajax Control Toolkit and to make it easier for the community to contribute code, bug fixes, and documentation.
The ASP.NET Ajax Library

We are moving the ASP.NET Ajax Library into the Ajax Control Toolkit. If you currently use ASP.NET Ajax Library client templates, client data-binding, or the client script loader then you can continue to use these features by downloading the Ajax Control Toolkit.

Be aware that our focus with the Ajax Control Toolkit is server-side Ajax.  For client-side Ajax, we are shifting our focus to jQuery. For example, if you have been using ASP.NET Ajax Library client templates then we recommend that you shift to using jQuery instead.
Conclusion

Our plan is to focus on jQuery as the primary technology for building client-side Ajax applications moving forward. We want to adapt Microsoft technologies to work great with jQuery and we want to contribute features to jQuery that will make the web better for everyone. We are very excited to be working with the jQuery core team.

Sometimes Site Locked What is Reason ?

Very Good Morning ,

Sometime it is possible that your site locked so you are not able to to Administrator function .Only you have read only permission in site ....

So What is reason behind this ?

If you are install Moss 2007 SP2 then Microsoft introduce new feature Site Locking ... So before your backup start , it lock site first and then do the backup , then unlock site again .

File Upload Asp.Net Control

// File upload control
             
              
    // Fires when Button is clicked.
    protected void UploadFileOnServer(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // limitation of maximum file size
        int intFileSizeLimit = 10;

        // get the full path of your computer
        string strFileNameWithPath = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;
        // get the extension name of the file
        string strExtensionName = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(strFileNameWithPath);

        string strFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFileNameWithPath);

        if (strExtensionName.Equals(".jpg") || strExtensionName.Equals(".gif"))

            if (intFileSize < intFileSizeLimit)
            {
                // upload the file on the server
                // you can save the file with any name, However as this is the sample so I have saved the file same name for all users. So it will overwrite your file with next user's who will test this tutorials.
                FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/UserFiles/Samples/") + "SampeFromTutorials" + strExtensionName);

                lblMessage.Text = "Uploaded file details

SharePoint 2010: Free End User Training

We have created 50 end-user/site admin training videos for SharePoint 2010, which I am happy to be able to share with you. The training is completely free, and configured into a 9-module course at:

http://www.point8020.com/SharePointEndUserTraining.aspx

Each video is focused on one specific task in SharePoint 2010, so they are easily digested. The course is also displayed in the latest version of our Silverlight course-viewer, so the user-experience is engaging.

Feel free link to this free training in your blogs, or otherwise spread the word to anyone who you think might be interested.

Just FYI, we plan to extend this by RTM to include approximately 250 end-user videos, effectively covering every single task an end-user or site admin performs in SharePoint 2010.
