However I must be missing some fundamental knowlege to make that work. They have some C# class 'AjaxService' and then they are calling it with javascript. But how is that class shoe horned into Umbraco so that i can be called?
Did they compile that in visual studio and export that DLL somehow? If so, how did they get keywords 'umbraco' to work(umbraco.BusinessLogic.User)? Is there a library that must be imported to visual studio?
Umbraco can access web services via AJAX just like any other ASP.NET WebForms application. Alternatively you can use the Umbraco /Base feature which is documented on the wiki - http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-base
AjaxPro is just another framework for ASP.NET. I've used it in the past but didn't like it. And since it's built into ASP.NET now I don't see the point.
Ajax and Umbraco
I've done some googling and have found a couple of things, but they are very vegue.
The best page i've found is: http://www.cpalm.dk/blog/2006/08/03/ajax-and-umbraco.aspx ; <-- I would like to do something very similar to this.

If you're new to ASP.NET AJAX I suggest you start with some of the videos at http://asp.net such as: http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/video-75.aspx
I guess your right. I was looking at that example incorrectly. /ajaxpro/ must be a totally separate project and is not part of umbraco.
I thought it was part of umbraco for some reason, something like how you integrate usercontrols into umbraco.
Thanks
