RaisePostBackEvent vs ajaxRequest

[Kirk Quinbar]

Is the calling RaisePostBackEvent on the serverside the same thing as calling ajaxRequest on the client side? Do they both do the call via ajax?

Hi Kirk,

Calling the ajaxRequest() client side method of RadAjaxManager forces the manager to perform an AJAX request. And this request can be handled by the AjaxRequest server side event of the manager. You can also override the RaisePostBackEvent handler to handle the ajax request on the server. Note that handling the RaisePostBackEvent cannot invoke ajax request by itself. 

Find more about RadAjax in the following online resources:
