Question

I am developing an app in asp.net in which I have jquery code in my asp page

var strdata = {
           problemID: $("#problemID").val(),
           commentText: $("#_1").val(),
           empID: $("#empID").val(),
           agree: 0,
           disagree: 0
        };
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "<%= Url.Action("PostComment", "Discussion")  %>",
            data: strdata,
            dataType: "JSON",
            success: function (msg) {
                if ( msg == 1)
                alert("Success" + msg );
            }
        });

and my controller has code

  public bool PostComment(string problemID, string commentText, string empID, string agree, string disagree)
        {


            return _discussionRepository.postComment(Convert.ToInt32(problemID), commentText, Convert.ToInt32(empID), Convert.ToInt32(agree),Convert.ToInt32( disagree));
        }

and model has code

public bool postComment(int problemID, string commentText, int empID, int agree, int disagree)
        {
            bool result = false;
            Comment c = new Comment();
            c.ProblemID = problemID;
            c.CommentText = commentText;
            c.EmpID = empID;
            c.Agree = agree;
            c.DisAgree = disagree;

            _objectModel.Comments.InsertOnSubmit(c);
            try
            {
                _objectModel.SubmitChanges();
                result = true;

            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
            }


            return result;  

}

Data is saving in database through ajax and jquery but the success message is not showing

Answer 1

If the alert is not running with or without the condition that means the datatype being returned is not the datatype the $.ajax function is expecting.

2 ways to get to the bottom of it:

• First open up chrome or firebug and check out the network traffic. If you are getting the result back (the request is being made and the content looks accurate) then your data type is definitely the cause. Try changing the datatype in the request.

• Next you could try adding functions other than just success. There is also error, status codes (404,500 etc), beforeSend, etc check the docs.

There are other ways as well :). Fiddler might help too.
