I wanted to know it is possible to call a hosted .net web service

  • 0

I wanted to know it is possible to call a hosted .net web service from a HTML page using jQuery? I tried this piece of code, but it doesn’t work for me:

 $('#myForm').click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            data: '{}',
            url: "http://localhost:49590/Service.asmx?op=HelloWorld",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success:
                function(response) {                   
                    alert(response.d);
                },
            failure:
                function(result) {
                    alert(result.status + ' ' + result.statusText);
                }
        });
    });

And the webservice is as such:

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line. 
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService
{

    [WebMethod]
    public string HelloWorld()
    {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

I have searched for this and found only examples where it is done from asp.net or asp.net mvc projects. I am not sure what I am missing but I thought this was possible from a plain HTML site with javascript, so can someone please point me in the right direction.

Cheers!

    I think you just have some syntax errors. I created the following classic web service:

    [WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class HelloWorld : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    [WebMethod]
    public string Hello(string name)
    {
        return "Hello " + name;
    }
}

    And the following HTML page:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Calling Classic Web Services with jQuery</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function () {
        $("a#SayHello").click(function (e) {
          e.preventDefault();

          $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            data: '{"name": "' + $("input#name").val() + '"}',
            url: 'http://localhost:7663/HelloWorld.asmx/Hello',
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            dataType: 'json',
            success:
              function (data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
                alert(data.d);
              },
            error:
              function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                alert(textStatus);
              }
          });
        });
      });    
    </script>
</head>
<body>
  <input id="name" /><a id="SayHello" href="#">Greetings!</a>  
</body>
</html>

    And was able to produce a valid response.

    Hope that helps!

    EDIT: Here is how I created the web service in Visual Studio 2010. Note that I changed my framework to 3.5, though 2.0 and 3.0 offer the same project. 4 does not.

    The web config might look a little bare if you’re not using VS2010, but know I didn’t touch it at all:
