Example: AjaxPro.JavaScriptObject o = new AjaxPro.JavaScriptObject(); o.Add("firstName", new AjaxPro.JavaScriptString("Michael")); o.Add("age", new AjaxPro.JavaScriptNumber(29)); o.Add("isMarried", new AjaxPro.JavaScriptBoolean(true)); o.Add("x", new AjaxPro.JavaScriptNumber(2.3456)); o.Add("y", new AjaxPro.JavaScriptArray(new AjaxPro.IJavaScriptObject[] { new AjaxPro.JavaScriptBoolean(true), new AjaxPro.JavaScriptNumber(2.33) })); return o; - Fixed missing IJavaScriptObject serializer, added generic support for internal stuff. - AjaxPro.timeoutPeriod is now set to 10 seconds by default. - Removed MS.Position, MS.Keys, MS.setText, MS.setHtml, MS.cancelEvent, MS.getEvent, MS.getTarget,... to ms.ashx, enable with ajaxNet/ajaxSettings/oldStyle/includeMsPrototype. - Completly removed $(...), Class.create: Object.extend(window, { $: function() { var elements = new Array(); for(var i=0; i if .NET 2.0. - New AjaxNoTypeUsageAttribute wich you can add to custom classes. This will prevent the engine to add the __type JavaScript property, so it is a one-way communication for this type only. - Changed IJavaScriptConverter interface, added protected variable m_AllowInheritance to allow searching for the same type in inherited classes. This is false by default, used in IListConverter with true. Added two new methods TrySerializeValue and TryDeserializeValue to do some more test insetad of only comparing the Type. New property ConverterName which will be written to converter.ashx JavaScript file. - Added ajaxNet/ajaxSettings/oldStyle/allowNumberBooleanAsString tag to allow posting JavaScript number and boolean as string. If not configured JavaScript numbers are converter to System.Int64 and boolean to System.Boolean. - prototype.ashx and core.ashx can be combined to "prototype-core.ashx", which will save one http request. - Added ajaxNet/ajaxSettings/oldStyle/sessionStateDefaultNone tag to set default HttpSessionStateRequirement to None instead of new default ReadWrite. This is necessary to don't forget to set it and to keep-alive the session state on the web server. - Added support for Enum that are not using Integer. - Added new prototype function like MS.Position.setPosition, MS.Keys.getCode, MS.cancelEvent, MS.getEvent, MS.getTarget, MS.setText, MS.setHtml. Will be replaced by prototype.js!! - Fixed bug when using AjaxNamespace: now it will search first all AjaxNamespaces defined for methods, if nothing found use the MethodInfo.Name. - Some code changes to improve performance.

Note: every file change in App_Code folder, any code behind file or web.config will create a new assembly name for these classes. There is a workaround available; the prefered way is to use libraries instead with a fixed assembly name. - Fixed Server.Transfer bug (see 6.4.28.1). - If .NET 2.0 classes in App_Code folder will be using the shortcut type information for reflection like "Namespace.Classname,App_Code". This will help to fix the problem above. You can use the urlNamespaceMappings configuration for App_Code classes now, too. To disable this new feature add a tag to web.config ajaxNet/ajaxSettings/oldStyle.
