ajax based masterpage

can any1 tell:

ajax based masterpage template i found in vs 2k8 but didn't get its purpose

i redirect from 1 page to another page of my site but don't wanna rerender/refresh contents of master page. i think this thing can do this but how not sure as i tried but it postback :) may b m wrong or doing wrong

Any time you go to a new page, even a page that has the same master as the current page you're on, you are going to have a full page refresh. Only partial page updates on the same page can be "hidden".

AJAX autocompleteextender

Hi All,

I am using the autocompleteextender and I am wondering if there is anyone you can click on an option from what it returns to redirect it to another page.

Is this possible?

Thanks

You could use AutoComplete's ItemSelected event in the client and then navigate to another page using JavaScript.

Alternatively, if you have a button that the user usually clicks on to submit the page, you could do the following in the same script:

$get("btnSubmit").click();

This will send a click event to the button and submit your page as normal.
