Question

I am calling a WebMethod() using $.ajax() and it doesn’t seem like the VB is handling the data correctly.

Here is my JS:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "Default.aspx/RemoveUser",
    data: "{'s':'test'}",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function (msg) {
        alert(msg.d);
    },
    error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert(textStatus + "\n" + errorThrown);
    }
});

And I created two RemoveUser functions, below:

<WebMethod()> _
Public Shared Function RemoveUser(ByVal s As String) As String
    Return s
End Function

and

<WebMethod()> _
Public Shared Function RemoveUser() As Boolean
    Return True
End Function

However, when I execute the above JS I get “true” returned. It is passing the data correctly:

Commenting out the RemoveUser(ByVal s As String) function does not change behavior at all.

I think you are using overloading methods here:
