Obviously it is good to know how to integrate monorail routing; however, I am still left with asking what is gained by using the MonoRailRouteHandler? What would be a good scenario where this would be useful? Sweet, that is really interesting Nick!

We used test-driven techniques to build a component that's capable of evaluating games of Blackjack. Most of the code and tests were written by audience members, which was fun because your solutions were not only different than mine, but in a couple of cases much better than the ones I had worked out ahead of time.

I can't remember what scenario I had issues with it with updating properly, sorry. Have you tried debugging server side and making sure all the events/code is running like you think it is (put breakpoints and make sure they are hit)? One thing I didn't like about the AJAX controls that I used was if an error occurred on the server while processing we had no notification on the client side by default (the control would just redisplay like nothing happened). I had to check error logs to find out unhandled exceptions were happening. Sorry I can't be more help myself. If I have time I'll try to dig through any notes I have. Or hopefully some other helpful commenter will come along.

I've never done low-level AJAX stuff. So not sure what you're asking there but in our case with AJAX-enabled 3rd party controls everything worked just fine. And our Viewstate was compressed just like before, just in a 'different' location (the standard __VIEWSTATE). @Hemang: I’m not an AJAX expert, this works find with some Infragistics 3rd party controls we were using at the time (in my story above).

It is not maintaining its state when you use update panel. I guess this hidden field is out of update panel thats why on ajax call it is not able to put new view state value in that hidden control.

I guess you have posted this article just today. Lucky Me :-) Can you please let me know if this code will compress the viewstate for ajax? because, I was also using "__VSTATE" to store my current state, but for ajax it got failed. You have stored the viewstate again in the same hidden field "__VIEWSTATE", so will that compress for ajax as well? Thanks buddy,

We added a progress indicator, elapsed time, controls for play, pause, stop, volume control and tied this to a datagrid for use as a pseudo playlist. For enhanced usability, we implemented custom templates, Visual State Manager, Custom events, and use of both Blend and VS2008. We feel this is as close to a winforms app we've been able to produce in a web environment. I would be more than happy to talk about this for the users group if this is of any interest.
