MSDN Magazine - March 2009 - (Page 56) Get ready for… AJAX Controls Presenting RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Faster than ever. New HTTP and ViewState Compression RadControls allow you to compress your entire AJAX traffic completely codelessly resulting in 10x less traffic and 2x faster page load. Client-Side Rendering and Databinding RadControls provide rich client-side features, declarative binding to WebServices and built-in support for lightweight JSON calls, enabling unprecedented performance. Performance Optimization Helper Controls RadScriptManager and RadStylesheetManager enable you to easily combine in to a single link all of the JavaScript and CSS links required by the RadControls, reducing the number of resource requests and improving page load performance. CSS Sprites for Minimal Server Traffic RadControls use CSS sprites to combine numerous images into 1 so you have only 1 request to the server and faster loading pages. Semantic Rendering for Minimal HTML Output Relevant controls use list items and advanced CSS rather than HTML tables in order to keep the page output clean, minimal and search engine (SEO) friendly.
