Question

I have this question:

How could I call a codebehind method from jquery? I have a web page: (ForgetPass.aspx) with its respective codebehind (ForgetPass.aspx.cs). On the codebehind I have a public method:

public void ChangeSession(string strChangeSession)
    { some stuff... }

When I was working on MVC, calling that method was as simple as:

$.post("MyPageController/ChangeSession", { strChangeSession: 'yes' });

But now that I’m on aspx/C# I don’t know how to call that method from jquery (or maybe I need to use [WebMethod] clause on the codebehind ??)

Thanks in advance.

There’s a full run down here that explains the whole process 🙂

Yes you’ll need [WebMethod] and it’ll need to be static as well, read the tutorial for an explanation on these bits.

Based on your method names, you’ll probably need this:

[WebMethod (EnableSession = true)] //Allows access to session state
public void ChangeSession(string strChangeSession)
{ some stuff... }
