I'm currently working hard towards exactly the kind of developments you suggest aimed at bringing jQuery to (or rather, beyond) the level of MSAJAX templates :-).Boris Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923416771395046921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627888979577168137.post-84025567188459742232010-11-07T09:36:17.336-08:002010-11-07T09:36:17.336-08:00Boris, thanks for this post. I was wondering what...Boris, thanks for this post. I was wondering what happened that caused Microsoft to withdraw Microsoft AJAX Templating from the 4.0 release.<br /><br />I suspected something similar to what you say.<br /><br />I used the preview implementation of MS AJAX Templating in two projects that are now in production, and am still recommending it to customers now, exactly because it is so much ahead of the curve.<br /><br />I loved the fact that by using the AJAX templating solution, the development paradigm of an HTML web application became _identical_ to that of a Silverlight application. HTML Templates can be designed by a "designer (person)", and databound to data that is kept in sync via data binding.<br /><br />I am trying to transition into using the JQuery implementation of jquery-tmpl and jquery-datalink. The new implementation does show some potential, however it is still missing some crucial components.<br /><br />For instance:<br />- two way declarative binding<br />- Behavior / plugin declarative instantiation.<br />- Observable Collections, so adding an item to an array would immediately create a new instance of the template.<br />- Event bubbling.<br /><br />Basically, if I can get to an implementation of a Master / Detail with automatic selection change and data update completely declaratively, I will be satisfied.<br /><br />Finally, thanks for the great work you did with MS AJAX templating. I hope you will reach a similar level with the JQuery implementation.<br /><br />---<br />Adar WesleyAdar Wesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106640523055994127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627888979577168137.post-44747326449043467612010-10-04T12:19:02.074-07:002010-10-04T12:19:02.074-07:00@Robert: No, not yet, but we are actively explorin...@Robert: No, not yet, but we are actively exploring that area.Boris Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923416771395046921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627888979577168137.post-5349149427126048012010-10-04T09:21:22.034-07:002010-10-04T09:21:22.034-07:00Very cool.
