However, the data is just available as a string, and does not seem to be available as JSON data from javascript. What do I need to do to work with the returned data as JSON from javascript?
I have an ASP.NET PageMethod with the following signature:
<WebMethod()> _ Public Shared Function SaveCodes(ByVal codes As List(Of Code)) As String
I am trying to pass a JSON object to the PageMethod from the client side, but I get an error that the type String cannot be converted to type of List<Code>.
Here is the json that I'm building on the client and sending to the method:
[code]....
I have been able to pass in simple data types and a single instance of the Code class, but I can't seem to find the magin to pass a List to the server method. Can anyone show me what I'm doing wrong?
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?
I just hit the following issue: I am calling a web service that returns a serialized JSON object let's say: __type, FirstName, LastName (.net object Person with properties FirstName and LastName). __type's value is Test.Person
I have created a JS object using Type.registerNameSpace/registerClass called Demo.Person and it is registered on the page using the ScriptManager. Everything is working fine; I am able to get data from the server on the call back.
Is it possible to make the returned object from the web service be an instance of the declared JavaScript Demo.Person class? The idea would be to call a method like result.getFullName() on the client side without having to copy all the properties. This is just a simple scenario for more complex objects.
I have a controller that uploads a file. I would like to return a json result with bool success (if successfully uploaded otherwise false) and message (this could be error message that occured OR link to a file OR link to an image, depending on what was uploaded).What's the best way to approach thisI have this
public class UploadedFile { public bool Success { get; set; } public string Message { get; set; } }
then In my controller I would set Success to true/or/false and Message to <a href OR <img am i on the right track?How would i then parse this in the view so that when image it will show an image, if link show a link, if error simply alert error.
i use JSon to return allot of results when building a website, but find myself writing a a lot of code like this:
[Code]....
and then simply call this function with whatever IEnumerable results i have my question is would i be on the right lines here, what would be the best possible way to do this as it makes no sense to be writing in MVC and OOP but to keep rewriting code to just FROM ?
I have Categoreis and Locations I would like return both in one method. How can make a use of both Categories.ToList() and Locations.ToList()? What type of object should I return?
I am new to MVC and am trying to join 2 SQL tables together and return them in a Json. One table is OutreachProgram. The other table is UserInfo. I want to return the rows from the OutreachProgram table that match on CenterID with the UserInfo table.
The code that exists now will pull all rows from the OutreachProgram table. I can't figure out how to add the UserInfo table to the query to make it work.
JsonGrid <OutreachProgram> grid = new JsonGrid<OutreachProgram>(db.OutreachProgram, new OutreachProgramFilter()); public Array GetItems(IQueryable<OutreachProgram> source) { return (from r in source.AsEnumerable() select new { ID = r.OutreachProgramID, CenterID = r.CenterID, DateOutreachProvided = r.DateOutreachProvided.ToShortDateString(), NameOfProvider = r.NameofProvider.ToString(), }).ToArray(); }
I want to return an array of javascript objects from my asp.net asmx file. ie.
variable = [ { *value1*: 'value1',[code]....
I seem have been having trouble reaching this. I'd put this into code but I've been hacking away at it so much it'd probably do more harm than good in having this answered. Basically I am using a web service to find names as people type the name. I'd use a regular text file or something but its a huge database that's always changing - and don't worry I've indexed the names so searching can be a little snappier - but I would really prefer to stick with this method and just figure out how to get usable JSON back to javascript. I've seen a few that sort of attempt to describe how one would approach this but I honestly think microsofts articles are damn near unreadable.
EDIT: I'm using the $.ajax() function from jQuery - I've had it working but it seems like I was doing it in bad practice not returning and using actual JSON. Previously I'd take a string back and insert it into html to use the variable it set - very roundabout.
Microsoft Ajax can expose webservices which respond with json or xml depending on configuration. I would like to mock these services using soap ui. Using the wsdl I can do this to mock the services in the case where xml is returned, however how can I mock the response when JSON is returned?
I have a list of items(surveys) displayed on my home page. When I click the edit button for a particular item I have a modal pop up with the items details to edit. When the user clicks Save I submit the form via ajax. Depending on whether ModelState.IsValid == true I want to update the modal with validation information or close the modal and update the list of items with the new information.
This is how I am submitting the form:
[Code]...
My Questions
The only thing I can think to do is return JSON from my controller with a flag indicating the state of the ModelState.IsValid and the corresponding partial that I should show.
1) How would I do this?
2) Is there a better way?
Update
I found this: [URL]
but it seems more likely that I am going about the whole thing incorrectly.
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'm trying to return an error page indicating that the user couldnt be found and therefore I throw a HttpException with status code 404, however for some reason it wont redirect to the error page? - Is there some sort of trick to handle error pages with JSON that I should be aware of? My current code:
public ActionResult Details(int id) { User userToGet = _session.Query(new GetUserById(id)); if(userToGet == null) { throw new HttpException(404, "User not found"); } DetailsUserViewModel userToViewModel = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<User, DetailsUserViewModel>(userToGet); return Json(new { HTML = RenderPartialViewToString("Partials/Details", userToViewModel) }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); }
Just ramping up on JSON and JQuery and returning data to a ASP.NET web page from a web service using Ajax. The JQuery part is pretty straight-forward. However, when trying to return JSON formatted data instead of XML from a 2.0 web service, I'm stuck. The web service does have the System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService attribute, so I can hit it via JavaScript; however, the web service always...always...returns data in XML format, no matter if I explicitly say I want JSON as the datatype in my JQuery code. So I don't know if this is an issue with the web service or the JQuery code. I posted this here, but realize that the category could be incorrect depending on where the issue is. Is there no way to return JSON data from a 2.0 web service? It's a production web service, so I can't change the code unfortunately.
In ASP.Net MVC action methods can return json objects simply by returning something like so:
JSon([whatever])
How do I return a JSon representation of say List<String> with webforms either through a service or through a method in the code behind of an aspx page? This seems incredibly confusing compared to ASP.Net MVC.
I have a long running process that i kick off with a pagemethod that normally takes about an hour to complete, when it is finished it returns the result of the method.I then poll with another pagemethod to update the status of the first process.the process is taking 4.5 hours this week which is acceptable and understandable, but the feedback sometimes gives up after a couple of hours and sometimes the main method never returns any feedback to the client.
Regardless of the lack of status updates and final feedback the server still completes the long task.As far as i'm aware we have made no changes to any timeout values.is there a timeout setting that we are hitting that is above 1 hour for ajax methods?
