I am using jQuery and jQuery UI across my project with HtmlHelper extensions.
And somehow the advantages of using the AjaxHelper has eluded me.(or maybe I’m ignorant)
I was just curious to know what are the uses of the AjaxHelper class in asp.net mvc. and whether its really worth incorporating into my project.
Can some one point out some obvious advantages since I find myself comfortable without its use but not-so-comfortable for not exploring it fully.
AjaxHelperis the same asHtmlHelperexcept that it pollutes your html code with MS AJAX specific javascript (likeonclick="some very ugly code that performs an AJAX request and handles the result"). So if you are using jquery, I would strongly recommend you to never think about AjaxHelper. By the way starting from ASP.NET MVC 3, the MS AJAX is replaced by jquery as default framework and the AjaxHelper produce clean markup and handlers are attached unobtrusively.
