ASP.NET [WebMethod] does it always return XML?
I know it can only return serializable data types.
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]
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 15 RepliesI 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?
View 1 Repliesi want to return multiple(name and statusid) parameter from web method and want to retrive in javascript function how to use it.Â
I have attached my code.Â
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]

I am calling a WebMethod from this code:
if($(this).attr("checked")) {
..
MyWebMethod(variable1, variable2, onSuccessFunction);
}
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 $(this) as well as the returned value. For example, if I do:
MyWebMethod(variable1, variable2, onSuccessFunction($(this)));
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?

How to make return string?
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 a service that works great on my development box. It uses JQuery to hit my web service, and then the JSON results are sent back.
The web service is located on our basePage.cs. We didn't want to put out an external WebService for this. Our on beta box something different is happening.
The web page seems to be trying to call the web method correctly - the JSON data is being sent... but the server doesn't seem to know it's a webmethod. here's my service function (it's in our basepage.cs which inherits from Page).

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.

How to get asp.net return drop down list to return value as int
I want to pass the value to a stored procedure as an integer. But the default appears to be as a string which is not what the store procedure is expecting.
Is there a good way to return the list values as ints?
I suspect I can you set the value on the change selection event, is there another way?
I have an ASP.NET C# project consuming webservices and WebMethods are wrote in VB.NET with source code on a local IIS server. The WebMethod returns null, and I want to debug it to know why I get this.
if I set a breakpoint just before the webmethod call, I cant step into this webmethod.
So, how is the correct way to debug this webmethod?

I have a pagemethod defined with the attribute [WebMethod]. The pagemethod accesses the session with no problem (HttpContext.Current.Session).
However I just read somewhere that in order to access the session in a WebMethod, you need to define it like so: [WebMethod(EnableSession=true)]
So my question is, what gives? How come I can access the session even though I dont have that code? Apparently EnableSession defaults to false if its missing, so I should not be able to access the session. The web application uses ASP.NET 3.5 and uses InProc Cookieless sessions.
