AJAX :: Check Whether A Particular Record Exists In Database Using JQuery

I have a asp:Button and asp:Textbox on Default.aspx page

Code is as below:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Save" Width="80px" CommandName="Update"
OnClientClick="EnableDdlCompany();saveButtonClick();" CommandArgument="Save" OnClick="btnSave_Click"/>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBarcodeNumber" runat="server" MaxLength="11" Width="230px"
Text='<%# Bind("BarcodeNo") %>' Display="None"
OnTextChanged="TextChanged" AutoPostBack="true"></asp:TextBox>

On button click, I want to call a javascript code to check that If the entered BarCode Number in Textbox already exist in Database, then show an alert "Number already exist" else allow user to save and navigate to Default2.aspx

I can able to do the same checking on TextBox OnTextChanged event using c# code, as below:

protected void TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
TextBox txtbarcode = fvIPRForm.FindControl("txtbarcodenumber") as TextBox;
if (txtbarcode.Text.Length > 0 && txtbarcode.Text.Length < 11) {
string error = "The Barcode Number " + txtbarcode.Text + " is invalid, the barcode length must be 11 character.";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(string), "Successful", "alert('" + error + "');", true);

[Code] ....

Here, IPRRequest is the class/.dll file name and IsValidBarcodeTest is a function defined in the class file

But same checking I tried using the c# code on button's OnClick="btnSave_Click" event, but dont know why this event is not firing, I guess due to CommandArgument on button, but I am not sure.

That's why I want to achieve it using Javascript.
