| **AJAX implementation:** Almost all of the functionality is implemented by using client-side JavaScript. As such, we don't need to postback to the server side every time; instead, we use Callback technology to minimize the need to transfer data over the Internet, which enhances the user experience. | **AJAX implementation:** Almost all of the functionality is implemented by using client-side JavaScript.

| Click this button to activate the measurement function on the map. When this function is activated, you can click on the map to begin drawing a polyline (a line with one or more segments). Each additional click will begin drawing a new segment of the same line. You can double-click to finish drawing the polyline. When you do, a bubble displaying the total length of the line will appear on the map. | Click this button to activate the measurement function on the map.

| Now you have successfully configured the environment to use SQL Server. As a next step, you need to make a few changes within the project code. Let's take the "CSWebAjaxSample" project for example; to begin, please open "VehicleTracking.aspx.cs". You may notice that this file contains many comments that have been written to help you easily understand this application and how it works. In the code, you will find a data provider whose type is "TrackingAccessProvider"; in addition, there will be a commented-out snippet of code above it.

To switch from using the Access provider to the SQL Server provider, uncomment the line that begins <code>using (TrackingSqlProvider</code>, then comment-out the line that begins <code>using (TrackingAccessProvider</code>.
