AJAX newbie here! At the moment in my ASP.NET MVC web app my AJAX requests appear to be getting batched or queued, im not sure. No requests seem to be getting completed until the previous request has finished. How do I go about getting the requests to return independantly? I dont necessarily want someone to give me the answer but maybe some links to good tutorials or resources which could help. Thanks I'm expanding on Lachlan Roche's answer, which is correct. The ASP.NET framework will "single-thread" requests that deal with Session scope (a global resource), to prevent one request from

Are MicrosoftAjax.js , MicrosoftMvcAjax.js and MicrosoftMvcValidation.js obsolete as of ASP.NET MVC 3? I haven't been able to find much info on this on the web, but from what I've read it implies that these files were used in ASP.NET MVC 1-2, and were replaced by jquery.validate.min.js , jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js and jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js .

In doing an auto-refresh using the following code, I assumed that when I do a post, the model will automatically sent to the controller: $.ajax({ url: '<%=Url.Action("ModelPage")%>', type: "POST", //data: ?????? success: function(result) { $("div#updatePane").html(result); }, complete: function() { $('form').onsubmit({ preventDefault: function() { } }); } }); Every time there is a post, I need to increment the value attribute in the model: public ActionResult Modelpage(MyModel model) { model.value = model.value + 1; return PartialView("ModelPartialView", this.ViewData); } But the model is not

I have an ASP.Net/AJAX control kit project that i am working on. 80% of the time there is no problem. The page runs as it should. If you refresh the page it will sometimes show a javascript error "Sys is undefined". It doesn't happen all the time, but it is reproducible. When it happens, the user has to shut down their browser and reopen the page. This leads me to believe that it could be an IIS setting. Another note. I looked at the page source both when I get the error, and when not. When the page throws errors the following code is missing: <script src="/ScriptResource.axd?d

It seems that serializing Entity Framework objects into JSON is not possible using either WCF's native DataContractJsonSerializer or ASP.NET's native JavaScript serializer. This is due to the reference counting issues both serializers reject. I have also tried Json.NET , which also fails specifically on a Reference Counting issue. Edit: Json.NET can now serialize and deserialize Entity Framework entities . My objects are Entity Framework objects, which are overloaded to perform additional business functionality (eg. authentication, etc.) and I do not want to decorate these classes with
