DynAjax

DynAjax is a framework for AJAX, no controls like in anthem etc… Just get the JSON or whatever you return from your method and use it in your javascript.

Update
I received this comment from the DynAjax webmaster, I thought I will post his comment directly in the post. The following is the comment that he posted:

I’m the DynAjax webmaster, thank you for this post.

I just wanted to add some more informations about it:
- each method you want to access from the JavaScript side must be declared into an XML configuration file, then you can easily call it as you were in C# code.
- security in DynAjax: many Ajax frameworks don’t bother about security and let any client access data from server side. DynAjax implements a way to check user authentication before any method call, it works like a firewall on client requests.
- enhancements: a lot of new features will arrive soon (Exception trapping management, annotations on C# code, partial javascript generation etc.)

Samples available here:

PostBack Ritalin - Tool to help ASP.Net AJAX Developers

PostBack Ritalin is an ASP.NET AJAX server control to help simplify the common task of disabling buttons in UpdatePanels during partial postbacks (and automatically re-enabling them afterward).

PostBack Ritalin depends on the ASP.NET AJAX extensions. If you’re using ASP.NET 3.5, you’re all set. If you’re using ASP.NET 2.0, make sure you have the AJAX extensions property installed and configured before attempting to use PostBack Ritalin.

ExtJS for .Net

ExtJS for .Net

ExtJS is a very nice Javascript framework which allows you to create really compelling UI’s. Checkout the Demo’s on the webiste.

Now there is a .Net library clled extSharp for ExtJS. Yes check it out here

From .extSharp website:

I really love Ext but coding in javascript just gives me the chills. So I went out and found a way to use my favorite js library (Ext) and my favorite programming language (C#) at the same time. By using a project called Script# I am able to write C# code and have it converted into javascript, similar to GWT. Building on that, Script# also allows you to code against external APIs, but you need to create the types, methods, properties, etc. for everything in the javascript library. So what I did was write a little console app that parses all of the ExtJS source files extracting out the script comments and writing C# files for each class. The end result is a programmable C# API to access all of the Ext objects and I threw in a couple new things to make life a little easier.

Volta
Ok, so what is volta ???
From Official Website

The Volta technology preview is a developer toolset that enables you to build multi-tier web applications by applying familiar techniques and patterns. First, design and build your application as a .NET client application, then assign the portions of the application to run on the server and the client tiers late in the development process. The compiler creates cross-browser JavaScript for the client tier, web services for the server tier, and communication, serialization, synchronization, security, and other boilerplate code to tie the tiers together.

Developers can target either web browsers or the CLR as clients and Volta handles the complexities of tier-splitting for you. Volta comprises tools such as end-to-end profiling to make architectural refactoring and optimization simple and quick. In effect, Volta offers a best-effort experience in multiple environments without any changes to the application.
