calling external webservice

Hi all,

I'am still working with the beta 2 version of Ms Ajax and i have question about making a call to an external webservice. Is it possible to make a call to an external webservice from javascript without a bridge file in RC. If not will it be possible in the future?

Thanks in advance!

In the current release, it's not possible to call an external web service without the bridge (seehttp://ajax.asp.net/docs/mref/P_System_Web_UI_ServiceReference_Path.aspx for more info) and for RTM this will probably continue like this, as you can see in this whitepaperhttp://ajax.asp.net/files/AspNet_AJAX_CTP_to_RC_Whitepaper.aspx#link4, in the client networking feature.

Hi Maire,

Thanks for your response!!

Actually you can call an external web service! Check out this article:

I hope it helps,

Hi Bogdanb,

Thanks for your reply. Your example is an AJAX example and not a MS AJAX example. In AJAX it is possible to do a call to a webservice directly. MS AJAX simplefies this call for me. I want to use MS AJAX and call an external webservice. Right now i'am using a bridge file to make it work. i wanted to know if this will change in the future.

CalendarExtender Position

I am trying to use the CalendarExtender Control in my existing VB.net web application .

Downloaded the latest version of Ajax toolkit and included in the project.

I am using the control inside a Table as below..

My page is too long to fit in a screen. so this date field is at the bottom of the page. So if i scroll the page and selects this calender control,

the postion is lost. popup shows somewhere else. Also this control goes under the ListBoxes which is already there in the page.

What should i do to make the popup calender appear on the relative postion of the TargetControl and on top of other controls ?

In the documentation it says popupup should appear with the targetcontrol ..

<TD>

<asp:textboxid="_dt"runat="server"cssclass="data"columns="16"maxlength="16"></asp:textbox>

<asp:labelid="Label70"runat="server"cssclass="label3"text="(dd-mon-yyyy hhmm)"></asp:label>

<asp:ImageButtonid="btn_dt"Runat="server"ImageUrl="calendar.jpg"CausesValidation=false></asp:ImageButton>

<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtenderID="calendarButtonExtender"runat="server"TargetControlID="_dt"

PopupButtonID="btn_dt"Format="dd-MMM-yyyy hhmm"/>

</TD>

THanks

Hi Roopa1,

roopa1:

Also this control goes under the ListBoxes which is already there in the page.

To resolve this , you should reference to thez-index.

Showing position issue.

I have tested it with a your code and add blank <tr> above the CalendarExtender. And it works fine on IE7 and Firefox. So would you please provide a simple sample here?

Hope this help.

Best regards,
