Microsoft AJAX vs jQuery AJAX - asp.net

When calling an ASMX service, what benefits (if any) does this:
ProjectName.Services.ServiceName.MethodName('methodParameter', function (result) {
// do something with result
});
have over this:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: webMethod,
data: parameters,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg) {
//
},
error: function(e){
//
}
});
(Please note I'm not interested in "just use WCF, ASMX is outdated", it's purely for AJAX so I'm happy to stick with it for now.)

WCF works ONLY Asynchronously

I have a WCF “MWManageSession” service inside my WebApplication so I don’t have any service reference.
The problem is that seems to work only asynchronously instead of synchronously.
public interface IMWManageSession{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string SetIdSelezionato_SessionData(String[] pvalori, SessionNavigation pSN, long varpChangingAzienda);
}
I consume the wcf on a client function using
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: webMethod,
data: jsonText,
processData: false,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
ServiceSucceeded(msg, ptoPopup, DatixWCF, myvar);
},
error: ServiceFailed
});
function ServiceSucceeded(result, ptoPopup, DatixWCF, myvar) {
console.log("ServiceSucceeded: " + result);
}
I get execute code that I put on “OnServiceSucceed” while the wcf is steel working…
How can I make the wcf works ONLY synchronously?
Thanks in advance !
Maybe you can try to add to your ajax post async: false
Something like this:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: webMethod,
data: jsonText,
processData: false,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
async: false,
success: function (msg) {
ServiceSucceeded(msg, ptoPopup, DatixWCF, myvar);
},
error: ServiceFailed
});

Subscribe to specific event in ASP.NET WebHooks

I'm trying to learn ASP.NET WebHooks, but the docs are pretty sparse right now.
What I'm trying to do is subscribe to a specific events. All the samples I can find demonstrate subscribing to all the events, which is not very useful for me.
EDIT:
This is the code for subscribing I found in the docs:
function subscribe() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/api/webhooks/registrations",
data: JSON.stringify({
WebHookUri: "http://localhost:59927/api/webhooks/incoming/custom",
Secret: "12345678901234567890123456789012",
Description: "My first WebHook!"
}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data, status) { alert(status); },
failure: function(errMsg) { alert(errMsg); }
});
return false;
}
What should be the code for subscribing to a "BookAdded" event?
Thanks!
So, for anyone else looking for the answer, this is how it should be done:
function subscribe() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/api/webhooks/registrations",
data: JSON.stringify({
WebHookUri: "http://localhost:59927/api/webhooks/incoming/custom",
Secret: "12345678901234567890123456789012",
Description: "My first WebHook!",
Filters: ["BookAdded"]
}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data, status) { alert(status); },
failure: function(errMsg) { alert(errMsg); }
});
return false;
}
Note the Filters field added to the ajax statement.

Ajax with asp.net aspx returns Undefined

I'm facing the following issue: Whenever I click on the button, the alert shows undefined.
Web method:
[WebMethod]
public static string getTest()
{
return "testing success";
}
Ajax script
<script type="text/javascript">
function getTest() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "main.aspx/getTest",
data: "{}",
datatype: "json",
contenttype: "/application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (msg) {
alert(msg.d);
},
error: function (data) {
}
});
}
</script>
datatype should be dataType and contenttype should be contentType. Also remove / from start of "/application/json; charset=utf-8"
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "main.aspx/getTest",
data: "{}",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (msg) {
alert(msg.d);
},
error: function (data) {
}
});
Remove these from your ajax call
datatype: "json",
contenttype: "/application/json; charset=utf-8",

Should breakpoint in the Page_Load event handler be hit when making AJAX call?

I'm making the following ajax request:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'AJAX.aspx/TestPageLoad',
data: JSON.stringify({}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert('Success');
},
error: function (x, e) {
alert( x.responseText);
}
});
I put a break point in my AJAX.aspx page but it does not get hit. Is it the way it supposed to be? According to this article it does.
I put a breakpoint in the Page_Load of my AJAX.aspx page but it does
not get hit
It's because the JavaScript executes on DOM Ready.
Doesn't Page_Load event get fired when making ajax calls?
No. It executes after Page life cycle and on DOM ready
For that you have to set the debugger in Ajax call like below
$(document).ready(function () {
debugger; //A kind of Break Point
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'AJAX.aspx/TestPageLoad',
data: JSON.stringify({}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert('Success');
},
error: function (x, e) {
alert(x.responseText);
}
});
});

calling asmx service using jquery ajax asp.net 4.0

I'm trying to call a sample asmx service using jquery, here is the jquery code
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Services/Tasks.asmx/HelloWorld",
data: "{}",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/xml; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
}
});
This is not showing any message,code is in asp.net 4.0,
Am I missing any thing?
Edit - I changed the dataType to xml, now success function is working it return following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">Hello World</string>
I'm using following code to parse xml data and it is showing null in alert
success: function (data) {
edata = $(data).find("string").html();
alert(data);
}
I believe it's because you have the dataType: "json" and it's expecting the response content-type to be the same but XML is being returned. I bet the complete event is being raised but not success.
try
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Services/Tasks.asmx/HelloWorld",
data: "{}",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/xml; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
},
complete: function (data) {
alert(data);
}
});
UPDATE
I think it's because you're using .html(), you need to use text(). Also i don't know if you meant to do it or not but you have data in your alert, i'm assuming you meant to use edata. The following worked for me:
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/yourURL",
dataType: "xml",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/xml; charset=utf-8",
success: function(data) {
edata = $(data).find("string").text();
alert(edata);
}
})
I'd recommend adding the [ScriptService] attribute to your Tasks.asmx class so it will accept and respond in JSON instead of XML. Your client code looks good, but you'll want to take a look at "data.d" instead of "data" in your success handler.
use it.
<script>
alert("aaa");
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "MyService.asmx/HelloWorld",
data: "{}",
dataType: "xml",
contentType: "application/xml; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
alert(data);//data-object xmldocument
edata = $(data).children("string").text();
alert(edata);
}
});
alert("bbb");
</script>
Well, you're stating that the dataType is JSON, but the contentType is XML. Try
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
If not, then we'd have to see the asmx code.
