Type	Description
CallbackException	Special return type used to indicate that an exception was fired on the server. This object is JSON serialized and the client can check for Result.IsCallbackError to see if a a failure occured on the server.
CallbackHandler	CallbackHandler is an Http Handler base class that allows you to create a class with methods marked up with a [CallbackMethod] attribute which are then exposed for remote execution. The handler routes the to the methods and executes the call and returns the results - or any errors - as JSON strings. To use this service you need to create an HttpHandler (either .ASHX or a class registered in web.config's httpHandler section) and then add
CallbackHandlerRouteHandler	Route handler that can create instances of CallbackHandler derived callback classes. The route handler tracks the method name and creates an instance of the service in a predictable manner
CallbackMessage	Special return type that can be used to return messages to the
CallbackMethodAttribute	Marker Attribute to be used on Callback methods. Signals parser that the method is allowed to be executed remotely
ClientScriptProxy	This is a proxy object for the Page.ClientScript and MS Ajax ScriptManager object that can operate when MS Ajax when present otherwise falling back to Page.ClientScript. Because MS Ajax may not be available accessing the methods directly is not possible and we are required to indirectly reference client script methods through this class. This class should be invoked at the Control's start up and be used to replace all calls
ControlResources	is used as to consolidate access to resources
CookieManager	A generic Cookie class that manages an individual Cookie by localizing the cookie management into a single class. This means the Cookie's name and and timing is abstracted. The GetId() method is the key method here which retrieves a Cookie Id. If the cookie exists it returns the value, otherwise it generates a new Id and creates the cookie with the specs of the class and It's recommended you store this class as a static member off another
FormVariableBinder	The class that provides FormVariable to Model binding by matching FormVariable names to the model's properties including child properties. You can specify a The base behavior is similar to ASP.NET MVC's ModelBinder's binding operation minus the validation features.
HttpRequestBaseExtensions	HttpRequest Extension methods to facilitate various input retrieval tasks tasks
HttpResponseExtensions	HttpResponse Extension methods to facilitate various output tasks
JavaScriptMinifier	JavaScript minifier strips white space and comments from JavaScript code. Based on Douglas Crockford's JavaScript Minifier with some modification to support string and StreamReader conversions. This class can minify strings in memory or files and entire directories of disk files. The MinifyDirectory() method can be used in the build process for VS or can easily be used at application startup to automatically create minified script files
JsonCallbackMethodProcessor	This is the core implementation of the JSON callback method handler that picks up POST data from the request and uses it to call the actual callback method on the specified object and return the results back as JSON. This processor is generic and can be used easily from anywhere that needs to feed back JSON data from a method callback, simply calling the ProcessCallbackMethod() with an object that contains methods that are marked up with the
ResponseFilterStream	A semi-generic Stream implementation to use with Response.Filter. Uses an event based interface for handling Content capture and transformations with several variations of events that can capture the entire output and transform it or work on actual Response Write() chunks individually. The key operational interface to this class is via exposed via Events More information on how this class works:
ScriptCompressionModule	Module that handles compression of JavaScript resources using GZip and script optimization that strips comments and extra whitespace. This module should be used in conjunction with ClientScriptProxy.RegisterClientScriptResource which sets up the proper URL formatting required for this module to handle requests. Format is: wwSc.axd?r=ResourceName&t=FullAssemblyName The type parameter can be omitted if the resource lives in this
ScriptLoader	that handles embedding of common script files like jQuery into a page or return complete script tags for insertion into a ViewPage as a string.
ScriptResourceAlias
ScriptVariables	Provides an easy way for server code to publish strings into client script code. This object basically provides a mechanism for adding key value pairs and embedding those values into an object that is hosted on the client. This component supports:
StaticCookieManager	A generic Web Cookie handler class that can be used for a single 'UserId' in an application. This class manages all aspects of retrieving and setting of a cookie consistently. Typically all you'll need to do is call the GetId() method which both returns existing cookies and ensures that the cookie gets set. All methods of this class are static which is the reason why only a single Cookie can be managed at a time. The idea is that you can use
WebErrorHandler	handles generating Error strings for admin email and optional program display provides the same information that the ASP.Net error page displays, with the ability to retrieve into string and emailing.
WebRequestLog	This class provides the ability to log requests into a SQL Server table. It's best called of the Application_BeginRequest/EndRequest event in global.asax. It can optionally log a request duration.
XmlCallbackMethodProcessor	This is the core implementation of the JSON callback method handler that picks up POST data from the request and uses it to call the actual callback method on the specified object and return the results back as JSON. This processor is generic and can be used easily from anywhere that needs to feed back JSON data from a method callback, simply calling the ProcessCallbackMethod() with an object that contains methods that are marked up with the
AllowUpdateTypes
CallbackMethodParameterType
HttpVerbs
JavaScriptCodeLocationTypes
jQueryLoadModes	The location from which jQuery and jQuery UI are loaded in Release mode.
PostBackModes
ProxyClassGenerationModes
ScriptRenderModes	Determines how scripts are included into the page
WebRequestLogMessageTypes
ICallbackMethodProcessor	Inteface that defines the Callback operations for handling method callbacks on the server. This interface serves as an abstraction for potentially different implementations that use XML instead of JSON.
