Question

I am working on a jquery plugin which takes json data from the php page. Now i am trying to do the same thing in a asp.net web service. But i m finding hard to understand the php code. Also i cant host the php page in iis due to restrictions. Please help me to modify the code for asp.net webservice.

<?php

    $year = date('Y');
    $month = date('m');

    echo json_encode(array(

        array(
            'id' => 111,
            'title' => "Event1",
            'start' => "$year-$month-10",
            'url' => "http://yahoo.com/"
        ),

        array(
            'id' => 222,
            'title' => "Event2",
            'start' => "$year-$month-20",
            'end' => "$year-$month-22",
            'url' => "http://yahoo.com/"
        )

    ));

?>

Jquery code for reading…

 $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar({

            eventSources: [

            // your event source
        {
        url: '/myfeed.php',
        type: 'POST',
        data: {
            custom_param1: 'something',
            custom_param2: 'somethingelse'
        },
        error: function () {
            alert('there was an error while fetching events!');
        },
        color: 'yellow',   // a non-ajax option
        textColor: 'black' // a non-ajax option
    }   
    ]
        });
    });

Have a read of http://encosia.com/using-jquery-to-consume-aspnet-json-web-services/ and http://encosia.com/3-mistakes-to-avoid-when-using-jquery-with-aspnet-ajax/

The correct webservices should output JSON objects.

If you want a JSON serialiser then have a look at: http://json.codeplex.com/

Using @safarov’s code, you should be able to call the serialise method to return it as a JSON string:

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(someObject)
