Hey, I have a dot net website (implemented in C#) and I want to add some AJAX features over it. Is this possible or do you have to implement AJAX from the beginning itself?
it certainly helps if you design up front where and when you want to integrate ajax in your application but it's indeed doable to add it later on. Sometimes this can also be a benefit since then you have clear view on the painpoints of the application and
where it really makes sense to integrate ajax.
My personal advice: don't overuse ajax just because you can. Plan carefully where it makes complete sense and focus on those areas.

Firstly, I suggest you use UpdatePanel to wrap some controls to achieve their partial updating. For example, you can create an UpdatePanel to wrap a submit button and some login TextBox to achieve asynchronous login function. You can also use an UpdateProgress
to define ProgressBar for it.

Check this link : http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/
I think that this is very useful for you.
With these videos ,they'll give you a basic understand about ajax ,I have studied a lot from them.
You will be able to figure out when/why to use ajax when you design the website.
Mostly, when you want client-side script interacts with server-side script ,it will be very useful.

In addition, there are AjaxControlToolkit can help you append some animation and Ajax feature: http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/Accordion/Accordion.aspx
