What is Ajax and How to implement Ajax concept in Mvc 4.0

What is Ajax and How to implement Server side Ajax concept in Mvc 4.0
AJAX Short for for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is a new technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web applications with the help of XML, HTML, CSS, and Java Script.
Type of Ajax
1.    Client  Side
2.    Server Side
Advantages & Disadvantages of Using Ajax………………………
Advantages
1.    Reduce the traffic travels between the client and the server.
2.    Response time is faster so increases performance and speed.
3.    You can use JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) which is alternative to XML. JSON is key value pair and works like an array.
4.    You can use Firefox browser with an add-on called as Firebug to debug all Ajax calls.
5.    Ready Open source JavaScript libraries available for use – JQuery, Prototype, Scriptaculous, etc.
6.    AJAX communicates over HTTP Protocol.

Disadvantages
1.    Using Ajax to asynchronously load bits of data into the existing page conflicts the way the users are used to viewing, navigating and creating bookmarks in a modern browser.
2.    Ajax application development may lead to increase in development time and cost.
3.    The biggest concern is accessibility because all browsers do not completely support Javascript and xmlHttpRequest object.

    -- Sql Query................

use test
create  table  Employee
(
EmpId int primary key,
Name varchar(50),
Salary int
)

sp_help Employee

Step 1 :  we will take  MvcApplication which  name MvcAjaxConcept and  select basic option because  when  you take  basic option by default all important file of  jquery is  available  in your  application



Step 2:  add Controller which name Home Controller in our Application then we add View with particular Index

Source Code for Index.cshtml
@{
Layout = null;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<table width="50%">
<tr><td colspan="2"><p style="color:red;font-family:Verdana;font-size:14px">using Ajax in Mvc</p></td></tr>
<tr><td>EmpId</td><td>@Html.TextBox("EmpId")</td></tr>
<tr><td>Name</td><td>@Html.TextBox("Name")</td></tr>
<tr><td>Salary</td><td>@Html.TextBox("Salary")</td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="submit" value="Save" /></td><td>@ViewBag.msg</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" ><p>@DateTime.Now</p> </td></tr>
</table>
}
</div>
</body>
</html>

Code for HomeController…………………………………………..
using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
// using namespace
using MvcAjaxConcept.Models;

namespace MvcAjaxConcept.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{

// create instance of Entities

testEntities tt=new testEntities();

public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(Employee entity)
{
try
{
tt.Employees.Add(entity);
tt.SaveChanges();
ViewBag.msg = "Data Save successfully";

}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ViewBag.msg = ex.Message;
}
return View();
}
}
}

Result


Note:  In above code when we are using  @using (Html.BeginForm()) and after click and  save  button my whole page is  post back  but  it  is  not  good  for  my  application so  now  we will implement Ajax concept in our Application,


When you have to use in ajax then please attention these two files is very important implement in your application. And  both those files are available in script folder when you using MVC application with visual studio 2012 or 2013
