Usage of AJAX among .NET developers
I came across this survey results about usage of AJAX among .NET developers and it is really interesting to know the survey result, though it is not as accurate as it is based on a very limited number of responses, but it does gives us a fair idea. Also it is interesting to know that in the Commercial Tools section, Telerik Radcontrols got the highest number of votes. We have also seen that most of our clients do prefer to use Telerik Controls and we have used the same in many projects we have done.

You should check out developer express asp.net components. Much faster for us vs telerik.
