Why Gaia Ajax?
The ASP.NET world needed a fast, lightfoot and intelligent library.
Gaia boosts your webapp development using C# or VB.NET and your existing ASP.NET knowledge. Gaia only sends what has changed back to the browser.
The result: a rich and responsive user experience.

Gaia Ajax: BrowserHistory with Dynamic User Controls

This example turns out to be quite useful in application development. All the nitty gritty details of loading dynamic usercontrols, keeping state for the back/forward buttons in the browser is abstracted away in the DynamicUserControl classes.

As an extra bonus you also get a clean API for navigating between the different usercontrols.

Step 1

This is the first dynamically loaded user control. Notice how the location url has been changed to indicate #step1. Now click the button to advance to Step2.
