In this session, we'll examine some of the new features of ASP.NET AJAX 4.0. Specifically, we'll take a look at client templates, enhanced data binding and the client-side DataSource and DataView controls. We’ll also see the new client-side integration with ADO.NET Data Services which makes performing CRUD operations, complete with change-tracking, almost trivial. Combined together, these new features make it possible to build fast and responsive AJAX applications that perform some, most of all of the data manipulation on the script running in the browser.
