Very new to AJAX, but have learned a bit from online tutorials. If I was using PHP all would be well, but...
...I have to use VB.Net. Microsoft provides black magic tools (in the Visual Studio IDE) for making AJAX work, but using these seems hopelessly complicated and documentation for these tools covers only the simplest examples. By contrast, writing the scripts myself seems much easier, and I will understand what is going on.
So my question is, is it possible to write my own AJAX javascript (creating the XMLHttpRequest object, etc.), and have the server-side function be written in VB.Net instead of PHP? Has anyone ever tried this?
