Microsoft released an update of Microsoft Ajax Library Preview 6 with bunch of new capabilities and improvements to client-side AJAX library, compatible with any version of ASP.NET, and can be used in both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC projects. Feature improvements include: •Better Imperative Syntax: A new, simplified, code syntax for creating client controls •Client Script Loader:A new client-side script loader that can dynamically load all of the JavaScript files required by a client control or library automatically, and executes the scripts in the right order •Better jQuery Integration: All Microsoft Ajax controls are now automatically exposed as jQuery plug-ins. In addition to client library improvements, also released a new free Microsoft AJAX Minifier tool, that allows you to substantially improve the performance of your websites by reducing the size of your JavaScript files.
