Question

I’m calling a page method using a jquery function that’s somewhat like this:

function GetNewDate(thedateitem) {

        ThisMonth = 3;
        TheDay = 1;
        TheYear = 2011;

    DateString = TheMonth + '/' + TheDay + '/' + TheYear;

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/Pages/CallHistory.aspx/ResetDate",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        data: DateString,
        dataType: "json",
        success: successFn,
        error: errorFn
    }) 
};

And then, in the code behind file, I have:

[WebMethod]
public static void ResetDate(DateTime TheNewDate)
{
    var test = 4;
}

However, when I put a breakpoint on var test = 4, it never stops there.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

You need to check exactly what is happening with your jQuery call – I suggest using firebug (or the equivalent in your browser of choice) to trace the javascript and see the response/request.

This will allow you to see any errors being returned from the web page/method.

Update:

You should be sending proper JSON if you use dataType: "json".
