Calling a Page Method Instead of a Web service method with javascript?

Hi All,

I am just wondering if it is possible to call a page method or a static method (non webservice) with javascript and have it return the results to the calling javascript funciton just like how it is done with a webservice call? Personally I prefer not to be producing asmx's for things that may only be used on a single page.

If so ... how might I accomplish this?

If Not.... Why not?

hehe

Thanks

Hi miskiw

Yes you can do that, you can find details here

http://ajax.asp.net/docs/tutorials/useWebServiceProxy.aspx at the bottom of the page titled "To call a static page method".

It is worth noting that there is a bug with this in the current release where you can only call methods that are inline. You cannot currently make async calls to methods that are in code behind.

http://ajax.asp.net/docs/tutorials/useWebServiceProxy.aspx

can't open.

can you give a sample?THX

The new address is:http://ajax.asp.net/docs/tutorials/ExposingWebServicesToAJAXTutorial.aspx
In the bottom of the page, you have the section Exposing Web Services from an ASP.NET Web Page.

Basically, what you need to do is to create a static method and apply the [WebMethod] attribute to it.

[WebMethod]public static string EchoString(string name) {return"Called by " + name +".";}

HTH,
