Ajax ScriptManager vs. ToolkitScriptManager

Back 3

The ASP.Net Ajax framework has a control called ScriptManager which manages the asynchronous communication between the client and server. This control will actually emit a javascript code file which has various methods to do Ajax call using XmlHttpRequest object. After releasing ASP.Net Ajax framework, Microsoft with the participation of community developers released an open source toolkit called Ajax control toolkit which has some set of Ajax enabled controls that can be used readily in an ASP.Net application. This toolkit also released its own version of ScriptManager control called Ajax control ToolkitScriptManager which does exactly the same thing as ASP.Net Ajax ScriptManager but with some additional advantages.
