Can I use the Ajax Control Toolkit client side from jQuery?

Question

This was according to me possible with the Ajax library. But that however seems to be obsolete?

According to me there is no reason why you can't use microsoft ajax client javascript libraries from jQuery.

I think you can access it normally as you would do. Try this and see if it works. Have your references to microsoft ajax library and jQuery libraries both above this.

$(document).ready(function () {
   Type.registerNamespace("Demo");

Demo.Person = function(firstName, lastName, emailAddress) {
    this._firstName = firstName;
    this._lastName = lastName;
    this._emailAddress = emailAddress;
}

Demo.Person.prototype = {
    getFirstName: function() {
        return this._firstName;
    },

    getLastName: function() {
        return this._lastName;
    },

    getEmailAddress: function() {
        return this._emailAddress;
    },
    setEmailAddress: function(emailAddress) {
        this._emailAddress = emailAddress;
    },

    getName: function() {
        return this._firstName + ' ' + this._lastName;
    },

    dispose: function() {
        alert('bye ' + this.getName());
    },

    sendMail: function() {
        var emailAddress = this.getEmailAddress();

        if (emailAddress.indexOf('@') < 0) {
            emailAddress = emailAddress + '@example.com';
        }
        alert('Sending mail to ' + emailAddress + ' ...');
    },

    toString: function() {
        return this.getName() + ' (' + this.getEmailAddress() + ')';
    }
}

Demo.Person.registerClass('Demo.Person', null, Sys.IDisposable);
Demo.Employee = function(firstName, lastName, emailAddress, team, title) {
    Demo.Employee.initializeBase(this, [firstName, lastName, emailAddress]);

    this._team = team;
    this._title = title;
}

Demo.Employee.prototype = {

    getTeam: function() {
        return this._team;
    },
    setTeam: function(team) {
        this._team = team;
    },

    getTitle: function() {
        return this._title;
    },
    setTitle: function(title) {
        this._title = title;
    },
    toString: function() {
        return Demo.Employee.callBaseMethod(this, 'toString') + '\r\n' + this.getTitle() + '\r\n' + this.getTeam();
    }
}
Demo.Employee.registerClass('Demo.Employee', Demo.Person);
});
