Can WebMethod Return An XmlDocument As Return Type
Jan 22, 2010
Can my WebMethod return an XmlDocument as return type?
When I try to consume the web service I'm still not getting XML. It appears as though a reference to the method is being returned rather than say a string containing XML.
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function CustomerSearch(ByVal lastName As String, ByVal firstName As String, ByVal companyName As String, ByVal city As String, ByVal state As String, ByVal email As String) As XmlDocument
' Create XML doc
Dim doc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
' some more code
Return doc
End Function
How to return values from Webmethod to the client in JSON format? There are two static int values that i want to return.Do I need to create new object with those 2 properties and return it?The GetStatus() method is called frequently and i don't like the idea of creating a special object each time just for json formatting...
[WebMethod] public static int GetStatus() { int statusProcess,statusProcessTotal; Status.Lock.EnterReadLock(); statusProcess=Status.Process; //Static field statusProcessTotal=Status.ProcessTotal; //Static field Status.Lock.ExitReadLock(); return ... } On client side I catch the return value in : function OnSucceeded(result, userContext, methodName) (PageMethods.GetStatus(OnSucceeded, OnFailed);)
i have used AjaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender, which calls a web method to get string array. Everything was working fine as its populating all the data.But the issue arise when web method is returning value in a string array like
arr[0]=1-12-100
arr[1]=1-10-100
the value im getting in the AutoCompleteExtender is the subtract of the result like
arr[0]=-111
arr[1]=-109
Why is it treating it like numeric and doing calculation when the return type is actual an string. i think its has to do sth with serialize and deserialize thing
I have a web Method in my C# that is called via Jquery ajax method. The web method should return an object back to the Jquery which will be used to populate. I have tried returning a JsonResult object, the actual object and nothing seems to work! I'm not using MVC (Unfortunately). Is there a way that I can return an object from my web method which can be used by my AJAX method? here is the link for my JQuery AJAX method [URL]
I have an Ajax function called from JQuery that goes to a webservice to return a value. I need a SIMPLE example on how I can do this. I've been going nuts with serializing and every other aspect of this topic. I need to return either an ArrayList with ONE string field or a DataTable of some kind. Either way, I'm populating it into a DropDownList. I'm willing to consider alternatives to this idea. (Background info - I get a value from a textbox and I need to run it through a DB to get an associated value or set of values). I'm being really general so that someone can show a simple example.
I have the following web method , no success on return a correct Json format.
[Code]....
GetAll() return list of type "Company" POCO classes.
The web method complaint type "Company" could not cast to object. However I could not just return the Company type because client side Json only accept its 2 properties -"CompanyName", "ID" and I want to keep it that way.
Of cause, I had tried create a CompanyDTO which only have those two properties, but same error - "Unable to cast object of type..."
How should I modify in my web method to make it able to return a list of partial "Company" type in Json format?
In my asp.net website I need to return data obtained from DB by adding html tags to it from a server side method,just like a webmethod returns jsonified data. I am having trouble understanding if a webmethod can serve the purpose(i.e., htmlifying the data).If not how do I acheive it?
The MyWebMethod returns an integer, and I want to set $(this).attr("id") of the jQuery object above to the returned integer. Basically, I'm trying to do the equivalent of an MVC Ajax.ActionLink...AjaxOptions {UpdateTargetID =...} However, I can't figure out how to get both a reference to $(this) as well as the returned value. For example, if I do:
I can succesfully manipulate the jQuery object, but obviously it doesn't have the return value from the MyWebMethod. Alternatively, the first code block with a method signature of onSuccessFunction(returnValue) has the correct return value from MyWebMethod, but no concept of the jQuery object I'm looking for. Am I going about this all wrong?
I am trying to retrieve asp.net C# List method in JavaScript by referring Send-and-receive-JavaScript-Array-to-Web-Service-Web-Method-using-ASP.Net-AJAX ..My Code as below
Javascript
<script type = "text/javascript"> function GetAllSVGData() { PageMethods.GetSvgElements(OnSuccessSVGElements); } function OnSuccessSVGElements(response) {
[code]....
My problem is JavaScript function OnSuccessSVGElements is not firing. When I put breakpoints in it is working fine in C#. C# Method Working But Alerts in javascript not working.
I have an update function in my data layer which is defined as:
public int UpdateRBTable(parameters ...) This calls a SQL Server Stored Procedure to perform an update function on the database.
The process does its job for updating the table. However, the stored procedure has a return value (which indicates how many rows were updated), but this return value is not returned to the application. The application always shows that a zero was returned from the stored procedure.
I'm trying to extend the GridView class to always show the header and footer even when the datasource is empty by using the code I found online (link). However, the code is written in C# but I use VB.
What is the VB equivalent of the following?
public event MustAddARowHandler MustAddARow;
Is there a way around VB.NET not allowing events to return a type?
Also, I cannot convert the following function because of the error below.
I have a web service and its methods return a class which is name WSResult. WSResult has 2 properties. One of property's type is int and the other one's type is object. I want to return some different type with this second property.
[code]....
How can i pass an object which i retrieved from other web services or that i generated from my serializable classes inside M_ResultObject property ?
Do any one know how to return an anonymous type. I am using Linq where i need to return the following code
private <What's the return type to be provided here> SampleLinq(Int32 Num) { var query = (from dept in obj.DeptTable where dept.Id == Num select new { dept.DeptName, dept.DeptId }); return (query) }
XP Pro,aspnet 2, IIS, Oracle I have a primary webpage that displays a tab and some summary data. The tab uses an iframe and the summary data is loaded by an async WebMethod call back to C#. The iframe page takes a short while to load depending on how much data is in there (sometimes upto 20 seconds?). The WebMethod call, or at least the content of it, is very fast. BUT, the WebMethod call won't return until basically the iframe has finished loading.
I've verified through Fiddler that the browser is initiating both requests at basically the same time. It's initiating the iframe call first followed immediately by the WebMethod call within the same second. My understanding is that browsers are limited to only two calls at once.
If I set a breakpoint at the end of my WebMethod call (even commenting out ALL it's guts so it just returns an empty string), that breakpoint won't fire until the aspnet page serving up the iframe has finished. Using threads window, I see both calls at the server. I just don't understand why the server won't actually run the Webmethod call until the first call has finished. I've searched the code looking Monitor.Enter, lock, etc to make sure nobody has inserted any other type of blocking code and I can't find anything. I've basically emptied out the WebMethod call and it just returns a string, but no matter what I do, it just won't return as fast as it can. If I comment out the iframe, then the WebMethod call returns within 2 seconds. With the iframe, it "looks" like the the webmethod call won't return until the iframe has finished.
1) Does aspnet only process one request per aspnet session id? Is it FIFO? I figured the webserver would just process requests and return each request as fast as it can.
2) What else can I do to get that summary data to return faster (but not actually loading and putting the data into the very first primary page) ?
I have create a table and create edmx file, and I create a Stored Procedure that return a single row (select by primary key), and I want the edmx to have a function that calls that SP and return a type.
I am consuming an RSS feed to display on my website using a repeater control. I was wondering if it's possible in VB to return an anonymous type from my linq query rather than a collection of strongly typed RSSItems. I know this is possible in C#, however haven't been able to work out a VB equivalent.
I have this storde procedure that I add to my dbml file, when I do that it does not recognize the return type. The return type is a string, how do I set that it should be a string?
my controller, I'm generically deserializing Xml. The object being deserialized to could end up being any number of different types. This, of course, won't be known at compile time. I've created a number of partial views, each of which are strongly typed to a different object that is a possible outcome of the Xml deserializaton.My problem is that I'm struggling with a good way to return the right view. I could always switch on some property in the object, or use a Key/ViewName Dictionary mapping to get the right view name, but I was hoping for something a little more generic than that.Does anyone know of a way that I could implicitly say, "return the view that is typed off of the object I have."?
