Yeah I am a .NET developer here in a world surrounded by
Java people.
Remote Scripting is another term for Ajax. You probably looked at the remotescripting library that was avaiable for .NET.
I highly resommend using Ajax in the .NEt framework. With Ajax In Action I have an example in vb.net and C#. I just got a new job where I will be integrating Ajax functionality into the next version of the application.
IMHO: Tha main goal for Ajax is to increase the user's experience. The whole application does not have to be Ajax. A single ajax component on the page can make a sour user turn into a sweet one.
Now with .NET on the 2.0 framework you can look into ATLAS. I just started to do that, but I am not a really big fan of the whole tag nature of it. Plus the documentation is still not great. The ASP.NET forums has a whole section devoted to atlas.
