We’re proud to announce that we now support the new ASP.NET Ajax extensions. We’ve had Robert from Microsoft testing it out to make sure it all looks well. And it does! He had a lot of fun trying it out and playing with a hosted environment which I don’t think he had seen or used before.
Anyway all new Windows sign-ups will have this support. I’ll be rolling it out on the other servers to cater for existing customers in the coming week. Just after I do a load of patching of php 4 on both our linux and windows platforms 
We have a test site setup where Robert put up his test application that utilises this new extension to .NET and it looks pretty damn cool.
Cheers for the test account Paul, and glad we were able to get this up and running so quickly today. Regarding the web-based SQL interface, we are working on something to make it easier, and I will keep you posted about it. For now please see Scott Guthrie’s blog entry: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/22/recipe-deploying-a-sql-database-to-a-remote-hosting-environment-part-1.aspx
all the best,
Rob
Sounds promising. Had been looking for ways to do AJAX within ASP.net.
