Question

I have created a c# webservice and i am trying to call it and consume it from a javascript script, what is the way or the best way to do it, thanks in advance.
I’ll explain more:
this is the web service:

 public class DocumentInfo : System.Web.Services.WebService
{

    [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
    [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = System.Web.Script.Services.ResponseFormat.Json)]
    public string GetDocumentInfo(string id)
    {
        Document document = new Document(Int32.Parse(id));    
        string output = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(document);
        return output;
    }
}

I have tested it, it works, when i tried the suggested ajax solutions, i got this error 500 Internal Server Error.

function TestService() 
{              
    try 
      {

       $.ajax({
         type: "POST",
         url: "http://webserviceURL.asmx/YourWebMethodName",
         data: "{'abc':'" + 123 + "'}", // if ur method take parameters
         contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
         success: SuccessTestService,
         dataType: "json",
         failure: ajaxCallFailed
      });
    }
    catch (e)
    {
        alert('failed to call web service. Error: ' + e);
    }
}

function SuccessTestService(responce) {
    alert(eval(responce.d));
}


function ajaxCallFailed(error) {
        alert('error: ' + error);

    }
