Answer 1

"How much effort" is a function of your ability and experience.

Answer 2

If you are talking about 100% using ajax control toolkit, check out the ModalPanel example.

You could also go for a javascript library option like iBox, which would be a bit harder to integrate, but not much.

I much prefer doing this manually with javascript and css, if you know what you are doing it is not that hard, if you aren't familiar with those technologies it may take more work. Here is a good post that walks you through the basics

Answer 3

I use AjaxControlToolkit extensively in my application and its really simple.Being server side ajax I does emit a lot of javascript on your page. I suggest you use AJAX only where its required i.e. in cases where a page does lots of things and you want to make it more responsive something like a Dashboard kind of app.
