Like last year I will attend Tech Ed Europe. This time in Barcelona, a wonderful city. I prefer it over Amsterdam. I will arrive on November 6th, mid of afternoon.

It will be the chance to meet some of you and especially Frédéric Colin, Grégory Renard, Aurelien Verla authors on Tech Head Brothers.

This new release includes all adaptations to the toolkit working with the new version of ASP.NET AJAX.

There is also three new controls: DropDown, MutuallyExclusiveCheckbox, and ValidatorCallout.

Microsoft just released the new version of ASP.NET AJAX as Beta, there are going out of the CTP cycles.

With ASP.NET AJAX, developers can quickly create pages with rich, responsive UI and more efficient client-server communication by simply adding a few server controls to their pages. This new Web development technology from Microsoft integrates cross-browser client script libraries with the ASP.NET 2.0 development framework. ASP.NET AJAX provides developers building client-based Web experiences with a familiar development process and programming model that they already know from using server-side ASP.NET development. Because ASP.NET AJAX is integrated with ASP.NET, developers have full access to the built-in ASP.NET 2.0 application services and the entire .NET Framework.
