and then injecting it to the page. and from there im using jquery to manipulate operations inside the inejcted content

my friends at work use update panel

what is the best clean 'ajax ' approach.

Answer 1

This isn't really a programming question, but a question about programming.

However, I prefer the JQuery approach, ASP.Net AJAX is easy to use but far less efficient. This is due to ASP.Net AJAX posting the whole section back to the server to get its response.

JQuery is much more finely tuned and gives you the flexibility and agility to only ask for what you need, and only update what you need.
