I have 2 DropDownList, like Master-Slave.
This is my Default.aspx:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>
            <asp:Label ID="MsLbl" runat="server" Text="Groups" />
                </td>
                <td>
            <asp:DropDownList ID="Masterddl" runat="server">
                    <asp:ListItem Text="G1" Value="G1" />
                    <asp:ListItem Text="G2" Value="G2" />
                    <asp:ListItem Text="G3" Value="G3" />
            </asp:DropDownList>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
            <asp:Label ID="Svlbl" runat="server" Text="Members" />
            </td>
                <td>
            <asp:DropDownList ID="Slaveddl" runat="server" />
            </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

And this is my Script:

$(document).ready(function () {
$('select#Masterddl').change(function () {
    MasterChangeHandler($(this).val());
});

function MasterChangeHandler(Value) {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'Post',
        url: 'MasterSlaveHandler.ashx',
        dataType: "text",
        data: 'ItemSelected=' + Value,
        async: 'true',
        success: function (data) { SuccessHandler1(data); }

    });
}


function SuccessHandler1(data) {
    $('select#Slaveddl').empty();
    $.each(data, function (i, slaveValue) {
        $('select#Slaveddl').append(
    $('<option></option>').val(slaveValue.Value).html(slaveValue.Text)
    );
    });
}

And My Handler:

public class SlaveValues {
    public string Value { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
}


public class MasterSlaveDropDownListsHandler : IHttpHandler {
    public bool IsReusable {
        get { return true; }
    }

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {
        string valueSelected = context.Request["ItemSelected"];
        List<SlaveValues> slaveValues = new List<SlaveValues>();
        SlaveValues sv;

        sv = new SlaveValues();
        sv.Text = "SV1";
        sv.Value = valueSelected + "s1";
        slaveValues.Add(sv);

        sv = new SlaveValues();
        sv.Text = "SV2";
        sv.Value = valueSelected + "s2";
        slaveValues.Add(sv);


        string responseText =
    Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(slaveValues);
        context.Response.ContentType = "text/json";
        context.Response.Write(responseText);
    }
}

but there is nothing to append.
Also I see the response in firebug windows as following(when I Select G2 from Master ddl):

[{"Value":"G2s1","Text":"SV1"},{"Value":"G2s2","Text":"SV2"}]

and finally I change my success method of script with this new one for test:

function SuccessHandler2(data) {
    $('select#Slaveddl').empty();
    $.each(data, function (i, slaveValue) {
        $('select#Slaveddl').append(
    $('<option></option>').val('Member' + i).html('Member' + i)
    );
    });
}

when try this new script the binding to Slave ddl work correctly but with some additional items : the index show member0 to member30 and I don’ know why.

Edit1:
I also try this one and append correctly:

function SuccessHandler3(data) {
var values = [{ "Value": "G2s1", "Text": "SV1" }, { "Value": "G2s2", "Text": "SV2"}];
        $('select#Slaveddl').empty();
        $.each(values, function (i, slaveValue) {
            $('select#Slaveddl').append(
$('<option></option>').val('Member' + slaveValue.Value).html('Member' +
 slaveValue.Text)
        );
        });
    }

So I think there is a problem with manipulate of return value (data).

for more specific view the following pic is the JSON tab in firebug windows when I select G3 in Master ddl:

Edit2:

Also I try this one and just the first alert appear, apparently the (data.d) is null or unknown object:

function SuccessHandler6(data) {
    var selection = $('select#Slaveddl');
    $(selection).children().remove();
    alert('in handler and remove children correctly');
    if (data.d) {
        alert('data.d is not null');
        $(data.d).each(function (index, item) {

$(selection).append('<option>').val(item.Value).html(item.Text);
            alert('after append in index: ' + index);
        });
    }
}

How can I use return value correctly and append to Slave ddl? Where is the problem?
