Answer 1

ASMX web services doesn’t support this. You could write a generic handler .ashx:

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="Handler" %>
using System;
using System.Web;

public class Handler : IHttpHandler 
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) 
    {
        context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
        context.Response.Write("some plain text");
    }

    public bool IsReusable 
    {
        get { return true; }
    }
}

Now you could call your handler from javascript: http://yoursite.com/getdoctor.ashx.

Another option is to use WCF.
