Microsoft this week released an Atlas Control Toolkit enabling developers using Visual Studio to build controls that use Atlas client-side technologies.
Atlas is a framework for building rich Web applications on top of ASP.Net 2.0. Developers can use the toolkit in Atlas-enabled Web sites to build reusable components. The toolkit features source code, documentation and samples. Code is being released as a Shared Source project. The kit is downloadable here.
Microsoft also has posted Release Candidate 1 of a Web Application Project option for Visual Studio 2005. This provides the same Web project approach as with Visual Studio 2003, but with Visual Studio 2005 features such as refactoring, class diagrams, test development and generics.
The project is downloadable here.
Microsoft on April 10, meanwhile, released an April Community Technology Preview of Atlas, foucsing on bug fixes and security.
