OutPost: I'm writing an article about the project
Wednesday, September 14, 2005
I am working on an article about OutPost, a very simple way to achieve "AJAX"-style behaviour in your ASP.NET applications
The basics
- The viewstate is properly updated
- Session works
- Unicode characters are supported
- Server-side events work
In order to make it easy to use, you would also need the following
- No custom controls are needed
- Pages can be designed as normal
To make it really fun and powerful to use, what about
- Multiple forms on same page
- Multiple aspx pages on the same page
All the above is already working now, so what about the future?
- Automatic dotfuscating of javascript and html
- Minimizing transfer by only transmitting difference between posts
