I am using ASP.NET AJAX 3.5
I have a web service that is invoked by the ScriptManager that is attempting to return a DataTable to the receiving javascript.

My service method is called successfully.

I have a simple web method written in the code-behind (not a separate asmx) of a test aspx page.
All it does is return a DataTable(or DataSet) both are failing, gives a blank 500 error saying "There was an error processing the request"
If I switch the return variable type to String, it works fine
I think my issue has to do with the version of the System.Web.Extensions, is that the assembly that actually contains the JSON communication implementation?
I've read all kinds of tutorials about how it should be possible to return the DataTable to javascript and then read the properties with javascript syntax.
For some reason it isn't working for me.
My web extensions is imported through my web.config with the following version
<add
assembly="System.Web.Extensions,
Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
I have created alot of stored procedures in my application that return the result of a query in a datatable object. I never use a dataset. Why would I ever use a dataset over simply returning the result of a query as a datatable object?
View 3 RepliesI have read a lot of posts describing why it isn't good practice to return heavy objects like DataTable/DataSet to the client from WCF. However, there doesn't seem to be much discussion about the alternatives (or maybe I'm not looking in the right forums).
My problem is this: I've tried to convert my DataReader/DataTable into a List<List<string>>, where List<string> represents the data in each row, but get an error at the point when the data is being sent to the client. A simple List<T> or a one-dimensional array gets returned without any problems. But whenever I try to return a collection of collections, there seems to be an issue. I don't know until runtime what my DataReader would look like as different stored procs are called based on user selection from a web form.
What am I missing here. Is WCF not able to handle collection of collections (I know that multi-dimensional arrays are not supported)?
Would it be better in terms of payload, if I return a datatable as a List<DataRow> from a WCF method? I have WsHtppBinding for my WCF. I am expecting the datatable to contain 5,000 to 10,000 records.
Also, how can I test the difference in payload sizes when returning a DataTable Vs List<DataRow>?
I need to return datatable to dataset in asp.net application. I have a method which has a return value as datatable.
However I need to send 2-3 datatable instead of one. I dont know how to join/add two datatable and what could be the return type?
I'm fairly new to ASP.NET and am working through a tutorial that demonstrates the use of DataAdapter, DataTable, and DataRow classes. The tutorial focuses on binding returned DataTables to GridView objects - I'm having trouble understanding what to do to extract one row for display. I've found I can do the following:
ProductsTableAdapter productsAdapter = new ProductsTableAdapter();
Northwind.ProductsTable productsTable = productsAdapter.GetSingleByProductID(searchID)
Northwind.ProductsRow productRow = (Northwind.ProductsRow)productsTable.Rows[0];
A ProductsTable should be able to return its own ProductRows w/o resorting to a cast, no? Can't find how to do it otherwise. I'm thinking how to go about creating a form where the user will only ever be working on one record at a time. Wouldn't it make sense for the DAL to return a ProductsRow instead of a ProductsTable?
I'm returning one table. My understanding is that a DataSet can be made of more than one DataTable. I also understand that I can use either of these to return my one table.
Is it better to use the DataTable when I have one table to return instead of a DataSet? Is there any advantage of not using the DataSet in a situation like this? Is there a disadvantage to using the DataSet when only one table is being returned? Does this even matter?
I am trying to use a datasource with a dropdownlist. Eventually, my data source method to call a stored procedure and load the datatable is returns, but for now, I am just creating the datatable manually. I need each item to have two attributes, the text, whixh the user will see in the DDL, and the value that the program will retrieve from and store back to the file.
It is partly working in that the DDL has 3 items, however the text for each item reads "System.Data.DataRowView"
I have to be close, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have a problem with getting jquery to retrieve results from a WCF service. I am hosting the WCF service within IIS and when I attach the debugger to this process I can see that the code is processed successfully. However, when it hits the callback within jquery there is no data??
I have set up a trace on the wcf service and there are no errors. It just seems as though the data is lost after the wcf service method completes.
Here is the jquery code which calls the service:
$.get("http://ecopssvc:6970/ecopsService.svc/Echo", {echoThis: "please work"}, function(data) {
alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});
Here is the wcf config:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="EcopsWebServices.EcopsService" behaviorConfiguration="EcopsServiceBehaviours">
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="WebBehaviour"
binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="EcopsWebServices.IEcopsServiceContract" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="WebBehaviour">
<webHttp />
<enableWebScript />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="EcopsServiceBehaviours">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpGetUrl=""/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
Here is the service contract:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IEcopsServiceContract
{
[WebGet]
[OperationContract]
string Echo(string echoThis);
}
Here is the Service implementation:
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class EcopsService : IEcopsServiceContract
{
#region IEcopsServiceContract Members
public string Echo(string echoThis)
{
return string.Format("You sent this '{0}'.", echoThis);
}
#endregion
}
How is it possible to return some kind of list from a wcf serivce, this the method in my wcf service
my interface:
[Code]....
and this how my GetRootLocations looks like, It returns IQueryable, I wounder if I can maybee return Iqueryable from my svc-service?

I am developing an application with WCF services. The basic functionaloty of a screen is to provide an entry screen to add particular entity. Once save even fired It will save the data to the database and call the bind method to bind into the grid by refreshing the latest data.
When I am running the site from my source (Visual Studio) , it works perfectly. When the client calls method to fetch the data the WCF service, it returns latest (added) data. But the issue comes in the server when it works with IIS. I deployed the code in the server, once the data added I am getting the old data only. But after two refresh I am getting the latest data.
what required to be done to get the latest record.
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I am trying to create web service that will return ajaxified results. Specifically, I want to write a web service that will fetch email through a secure connection. However, rather then have the web service return every single email, I just want to fetch maybe 5 emails at a time. I've always used Ajax as a client helper technology and not sure how to go about implementing this on a server side, or if its even possible.
I am using ASP.NET/C#, by the way.
I'm going to be calling a webservice that will return me data in xml format. Since the web service is not ready yet, I want to test locally by calling a function that returns the xml. So if I have a sample xml file on my hard-drive, how do I just open it and read it and create an xml string from it? I don't care at this point about parsing anything out; I will do that in the caller and have that written. I just want all the xml back.

I'm using a web service and I want to return a list to my client. I am nearly newby at web services and I can't return a List<String> object to my client. But when i call the method it says "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]' to type 'System.String[]'" What should I do?
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.NET web service which returns an XMLDocument. The web service is called from a Firefox extension using XMLHttpRequest.
var serviceRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
serviecRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
I consume the result using responseXML. So far so good. But when I iterate through the XML I retrieve nodeValue - nodeValue is always null. When I check the nodeType the nodeType is type 1 (Node.ELEMENT_NODE == 1).
Node.NodeValue states all nodes of type Element will return null.
In my webservice I have created a string with the XML i.e. xml="Hank"
I then create the XmlDocument
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXML(string);
I know I can specify the nodetype using using CreateNode. But when I am just building the xml by appending string values is there a way to change the nodeType to Text so Node.nodeValue will be "content of the text node".

I've been reading quite a few tutorials on web services and xml files and one thing isn't quite clear to me. If I want to create an XML file on the fly the tutorials are pretty straight forward but, I want to grab an existing XML file from the web server and return the whole thing. Do I need to read the XML file and send each individual node or is there a way to send the file all at once? The tutorials imply that the whole file could be a node but I'm not clear on what that entails or if it would work. Also do you have a link to an example?
View 1 RepliesI Need by service contract to return the xml/json result depending on the request type. function which will convert my result set (i am using linq to sql) so that i do not need to create the xml format for the result set by iterating through the table row many times.What is the suitable way to do that.
I need a kind of short cut method which will convert the table data to xml result.Had i been using asp.net mvc i would have been able to generate the xml data by overriding the the ExecuteResult method in the ActionResult and giving Conetnt-Type = "text/xml" as OP.But since i am using Wcf i don't have the controller context(as controller context is the parameter that needs to be passed to Execute Result).
My present code for converting the table data to the xml format is below.
public XDocument UsersLists(string authToken)
{
bool IsAuthenticated = Authenticate(authToken);
XDocument xDoc = new XDocument();
XElement root = new XElement("Users");

I need to eliminate this way of generating xml for each table records.
I am having a webmethod that returns some data.I'm using jquery to call that function with its Content type specified as XML.The problem is that it is working on local machine but not on server.The code i'm using is:

str = arrInputs[0].value;
$.ajax({[code]....
Ajaxfinish is defined afterwards and it works fine on local.Is there some more settings i need to do to make it executable
I have a web service that is running and it shows a list of employees with their information. I created the web service with the following code:

The problem is 'Null' values in the datatable don't show up as empty tags in the XML so when I read the XML from the web service this is no consistency. Is there a way to show the tags even when the fields are null in the datatable or is there a better way to accomplish what I need. I'm reading this web service from a silverlight application with the following code (this application works but, it doesn't show all the employees as it skips over when no tag is present):

I am trying to send System.Data.Datatable from a WCF service, to a C# Windows Forms application. When I execute, I get follwowing message:The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceededThe datatable I am trying to send can get quite large. What would be the best approach to send the DataTable across without hitting message size limit, or in other words, what are ways around this problem?
