Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type AjaxHelper. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

You can use this method in a using block. In that case, the method renders the closing </form> tag at the end of the using block. The form is submitted asynchronously by using JavaScript.
