ACT vs JQuery

ACT (AjaxControlToolkit) and JQuery offers gave UI flexibility for asp.net developers. ACT can be used for WebForms while JQuery can be used for ASP.NET MVC. Here are the equivalent controls in ACT and JQuery that are popular:

ACT TabContainer and JQuery Tabs

ACT CalendarExtender and JQuery DatePicker

ACT Accordion and JQuery Accordion

ACT ReorderList and JQuery Sortable

ACT ModalPopupExtender and JQuery Dialogs

The key difference between the two is that ACT is based on Microsoft AJAX client scripts whereas JQuery is purely javascript based and used by popular websites including Google.

Star at ASP.Net Forums

I have been posting answers to different questions at ASP.Net Forums. Over the last six months, I have posted more than 1500 answers and have reached STAR level with around 8000 points. You can track me as vijayst in the forums.

There are a few interesting projects that I am working on. This is keeping me away from blogging and working on the Forums. The project that I am working on is based on MVC, AJAX and JQuery. It is all interesting area for me. I should be post quite a few blogposts on my experience once I am done with the product development in June
