Any downsides to using ASP.Net AJAX and JQuery together

Question

We are planning to use the jQuery library to augment our client side JavaScript needs.

Are there any major issues in trying to use both ASP.Net AJAX and jQuery? Both libraries seem to use $ for special purposes. Are there any conflicts that we need to be aware of?

We also use Telerik controls that use ASP.Net AJAX.

TIA

Answer 1

We have used ASP.NET Ajax, jQuery and Telerik components on a large project for quite a while and haven't had any issues

I would definitely recommend using jQuery
