Talking of AJAX we're using MagicAjax (C#.NET 1.1) for doing complex
calculations in the background for generating a quote dynamically as a
form is filled in. All very groovey except we have a problem with
ViewState and postback across a load balanced clustered environment
(read server farm, not microsoft server cluster), anyone had any
experience of this? Not sure if it's a problem with the way magic
deals with the request response cycle or whether we haven't setup the
servers correctly (I'm the new kid on the block here at work but have
a sneaky suspicion the machine keys are out of sync across our servers
and that messes with the way ViewState is encoded).
Anyone played with Atlas? We're hoping to upgrade to .NET 2 once
we've got a reasonable test environment that reflects the live setup
more accurately. Is it possible to "switch" the way pages work between
classic .NET postback and an AJAX style callback, from what I
understand you have to define a project as "classic" or "atlas" type
at creation*.
