The AJAX Template makes your application Ajax-enabled.
Note: before you can use the Ajax Template, the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 must be installed on your computer. This can be downloaded from Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX website.
To add the Ajax template right click in the ASP.NET project on extension and add the Ajax extension template.
The Ajax Template adds UpdatePanel controls to all Browse Templates and Form Templates in a project. The UpdatePanel is used for all controls that have content that can be refreshed without refreshing the page.
