Question

I am in a legacy asp.net application and I need to call a method within a class via jQuery ajax post.

So far I have a class called NewClass with a single method;

    [WebMethod]
    public string jQuery_GetCategoryDescription(string CategoryName)
    {
        return "Slappy";
    }

I then have the following jQuery;

$.post('/NewClass/jQuery_GetCategoryDescription', { CategoryName: "trippy" }, function (newHTML) {
    alert(newHTML);
});

I’ve tried putting in the whole namespace in.

However I can’t seem to call the method within the class.

EDIT

I am getting a 405 error

Answer 1

If the

 [WebMethod]
    public string jQuery_GetCategoryDescription(string CategoryName)
    {
        return "Slappy";
    }

Is in side Index.aspx

You can call it by /Index.aspx/jQuery_GetCategoryDescription
