by James 10/27/2008 6:47:00 AM

In this post I am going to show you how you can setup your SharePoint site to support Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX framework and create a basic AJAX-enabled SharePoint Web Part. You can find many great articles on MSDN on how to do these and they explained in more details, but if you are looking for a way to get it up and running in 10 minutes, this is it.

An AJAX-enabled web part with update button and display current time every time when button is clicked. Loading image and text displayed during the update.

Goal

Enabling SharePoint site with ASP.NET AJAX framework support
Create AJAX-enabled SharePoint web part
- with UpdateProgress control for visual feedback in browser when web part is updating
- with AJAX request event script to hide UpdatePanel while web part is updating
Add AJAX-enabled web part to page and see it in action
