    As we've seen in the part 2 and part 3 of the tutorial, if a client side type exposes an event in its type descriptor, we can handle it declaratively using xml-script. A powerful way to handle events with xml-script is by using actions; in this article we'll see how to build custom actions to handle events declaratively.

  • Coding a custom ClickBehavior with MS AJAX

    Published: 02 Oct 2006 Views: 6,799 Avg Rating: 5/5 Votes: 1 Comments: 0

    The MS AJAX framework provides an event model similar to the .NET framework's one. We can create, raise and handle events in a manner similar to what happens in a code-behind file of an ASP.NET page. Plus, the MS AJAX framework allows to attach pieces of re-usable client-side functionality through the concept of behaviors. Let's give an example of these concepts with the help of a little example.
