Atlas framework

Hi

What is Atlas?

The Atlas features of ASP.NET are not just another AJAX script library for writing client-centric Web applications. Atlas builds on the .NET Framework 2.0 and adds support for better utilizing the capabilities of client-side JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object. It includes server-based features that make it easy to enrich existing ASP.NET applications, as well as a client script library that is used by the Atlas controls and services. http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/default.aspx?pull=/msdnmag/issues/06/07/atlasatlast/default.aspx

And

The ASP.NET 2.0 provider model was designed with the following goals in mind:

• To make ASP.NET state storage both flexible and extensible

• To insulate application-level code and code in the ASP.NET run-time from the physical storage media where state is stored, and to isolate the changes required to use alternative media types to a single well-defined layer with minimal surface area

• To make writing custom providers as simple as possible by providing a robust and well-documented set of base classes from which developers can derive provider classes of their own ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/ASPNETProvMod_Intro.asp
