Question

I know many times this question has been posted over here. But i am not able to find solution for my problem.

I have create one web service and i have set method return type as JSON but method still returns XML.

Here is my method :

[WebMethod(Description = "LoginMethod")]
[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public string doLogin(string UserName, string Password)
{
         LoginSuccess objSuccess = new LoginSuccess();
         UserInfo objInfo = new UserInfo();
         objSuccess.success = "true";
         objInfo.Token = "token";
         objInfo.type = "usertype";
         objInfo.username = "username";
         objInfo.userid = "userid";
         objSuccess.response = objInfo;
         clsJSON objJSON = new clsJSON();
         loginResponse = objJSON.ToJSON(objSuccess);
         return loginResponse;
}

Here is my response :

<string>{"success":"true","response":{"Token":"token","username":"username","userid":"userid","type":"usertype"}}</string>

But i want this as :

{"success":"true","response":{"Token":"token","username":"username","userid":"userid","type":"usertype"}}

I am calling this method from that page which web service giving us to test method. Request method is HttpPost.

Please suggest me for this.

The problem is that you’ve either not specified or used the wrong accept request header. It should be application/json. Without the relevant javascript code used to fetch data in your question it’s not possible to say what exactly you should put where though.
