Question

I have a static function in the aspx page with this signature:

   public static bool UserNeedsToBeAlertedPwdReset(out DateTime dtExpires) 
   {
        DateTime dt = DateTime.MivValue;

        return true;
   }

So I want to call this function from the client side, using the jQuery Ajax. How do I get a hold of the out value?

Edit
Alternatevly I could check for nulls if this is possible with Ajax + jQuery like that:

   public static DateTime? UserNeedsToBeAlertedPwdReset() 
   {
        if(blah) 
           return null;
        return DateTime.Now;
   }

Why not create a function that returns a JSON response which you could include all the data you need.

I prefer to create .ashx handlers for these types of things and return a JSON response that is very to easy call and and handle client side.
