ajax is used to perform database operations or server side operations without submitting the form.

AJAX - Asynchronous Javascript and Xml or Ajax , is a web development technology used for creating interactive web applications.that submits data without refreshing or navigating away from the current page.
The earlier irritating refreshing and navigating away from pages no longer is a pain with this excellent web technology.
You can learn AJAX from http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp.

AJAX is a combination of "technologies" as mentioned. MS has also released an AJAX Framework that makes adding such functionality to ASP.Net pages a breeze. For VS2005 you can add it as an extension to AJAX-enable your site, for VS2008 it is included.
