First of all, this isn’t limited to ASP.NET. It can be for PHP, JSP, etc.
Ajax, Asynchronous Javascript And XML, is a technique in which you can call a server-side script, from the client-side (javascript) and have data/text/information returned to you. It can be returned in Text, JSON, XML. Then, again on the client-side using javascript, you can dynamically add/update information based on your return data. This prevents having to refresh/reload an entire page, only what is necessary.
As for XML, it is just a standard in which to transmit information.
See the source lists, for more information.

Its actually pretty simple. Ajax allows your web applications to change small sections of a page without reloading the entire page. This allows pages to load faster (after the first load), and make a web application feel like a computer application.
The XML part of Ajax is just a way to carry the data from whatever back end system you are using (doesn’t have to be ASP; I do most of my work in PHP) to the front end (Javascript). For really simple apps (changing the content of a page based on a link click for example) it is just as easy to send back the raw HTML to the Ajax script as it is to send XML.
