    <p>I'm confused about the differences and relationships between the various Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX components/libraries/toolkits and particularly the naming of them.</p> <p><strong>It starts off relatively simple with ASP.NET AJAX itself:</strong></p> <ul> <li>ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 (available for ASP.NET 2.0 in a separate package called ASP.NET 1.0 Extensions)</li> <li>ASP.NET AJAX 3.5 (included with ASP.NET 3.5)</li> <li>ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 (included with ASP.NET 4.0)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Then come the various projects on CodePlex and elsewhere:</strong></p> <p><em>ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit (aka Original Ajax Control Toolkit)</em></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Samples</a></li> <li><a href="http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/33804" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CodePlex</a></li> <li>It seems that the September 2009 Release is the final release of the Original Ajax Control Toolkit and that it's been superseded by...</li> </ul> <p><em>Ajax Control Toolkit in ASP.NET Ajax Library</em></p> <ul> <li>It looks like the old ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit has now become part of a larger ASP.NET Ajax Library but is still maintained seperately on CodePlex. This release is in beta at time of writing so presumably if I want to use the "Control Toolkit" I should stick with the <a href="http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/33804" rel="nofollow noreferrer">September 2009 Release of the Original ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit</a></li> <li><a href="http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/36097" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CodePlex</a></li> </ul> <p><em>Microsoft Ajax Library Preview</em></p> <ul> <li>Is this the same as the ASP.NET Ajax Library mentioned above just with a confusing name variation?</li> <li>Is the "Control Toolkit" included in Preview 6 and is it older newer or older than the code in <a href="http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/36097" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ajax Control Toolkit in ASP.NET Ajax Library</a>?</li> <li><a href="http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/34488" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CodePlex</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax Wiki</a> - note the inconsistent insertion of ASP.NET into the name</li> </ul> <p>Links to useful articles, roadmaps would be useful.</p>
