First, let me explain why only these 11 Frameworks are included although there is a lot more AJAX stuff for ASP.NET out there. All the frameworks listed here have one unique AJAX feature: They allow updating page content without programming AJAX directly - i call it indirect AJAX programming - a compareable concept is called Hijax. To make it concrete: Direct AJAX programming would mean dealing with client scripts, DHTML, method proxies, client side rendering and so on... Another important property the framework must have is the ability to support non-AJAX controls and enhance them with AJAX features. Therefore, frameworks that supply only controls with built in AJAX-features (Buttons, Trees, Grids, Lists and so on...) are not included in the comparison.
The Frameworks from ComponentArt, Telerik, Dart, Syncfusion and Anthem are included although they do not allow 100% indirect AJAX programming as they force the developer to trigger the AJAX postback from a self written script or from a 3rd party custom control. But they take away the whole rendering part from the developer and allow foreign Controls to be included in AJAX which comes very close to indirect AJAX programming.
The Frameworks included in this comparison are:

MagicAJAX.NET V0.3.0
ZumiPage V2.10
