Template:Beta software Atlas is Microsoft's codename for a set of extensions to ASP.NET for implementing Ajax functionality.
Including both client-side and server-side components, Atlas allows the developer to create web applications in ASP.NET 2.0 (and to a limited extent in other environments) which can update data on the web page without a complete reload of the page (a "round trip" to the server). The key technology which enables this functionality is the XMLHttpRequest object, along with Javascript and DHTML. Atlas is currently provided as a Community Technology Preview (CTP).
