Here's my jquery:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '/services/Service.asmx/FamilyHistory',
data: JSON.stringify({
userID: 10,
historyID: famid
}),
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(val) {
var famHist = val.d;
alert(famHist.ID);
},
error: function() {
parent.$.jGrowl('<b>Failed</b>',
{
header: 'User Action:',
life: 3000
});
}
});
My Class:
public sealed class FamilyHistoryEntity
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string RelativeName { get; set; }
}
My Web service:
[WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json, UseHttpGet = true)]
public FamilyHistoryEntity FamilyHistory(int userID, string historyID)
{
return GetFamilyHistory(historyID, userID); // returns a FamilyHistoryEntity class
}
Problem is, i can't even make it do a breakpoint onto the webservice, it just throws the jquery ajax event of error.
Why are you using the stringify function? It would seem like it is looking to call a method with a string parameter rather than the two parameters you have for your method.
Maybe I am missing something?
EDIT: So you would change the data property to:
data: { userID: 10, historyID: famid },
Especially since you specify the contentType as json.

I am trying to post some data via jQuery ajax to an Asp.Net MVC controller. I have the follow class which I am working with:
public class InnerStyle
{
[JsonProperty("color")]
public string HeaderColor { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("font-size")]
public string HeaderFontSize { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("font-family")]
public string HeaderFontFamily { get; set; }
}
The post method looks like:
public JsonResult UpdateRecord(InnerStyle innerStyle)
{
//Do some validation
return Json("OK");
}
And my jQuery looks like:
$('#font-size-ddl').change(function () {
var value = $(this).val();
headerObj["font-size"] = value;
console.log(JSON.stringify({ innerStyle: headerObj }));
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("UpdateRecord", "Document")",
data: JSON.stringify({ innerStyle: headerObj}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
});
The console.log in the above change event produces the following JSON string:
{"innerStyle":{"text-align":"","font-size":"20px","color":""}}
Now the issue I am having is if I set a break point on my UpdateRecord Action and see what is coming through the innerStyle object is null. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong please.
I tried using the below code and it's working fine.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("UpdateRecord", "Document")",
data: JSON.stringify({"text-align":"","font-size":"20px","color":""}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
I simply removed the parameter name "innerStyle". I just noticed one thing which might be a typo error. You are passing a property "text-align":"" instead of "font-family". So it's not populating all properties inside the controller's action UpdateRecord(InnerStyle innerStyle). You should pass similar to the below json object to map the entire object on controller's action UpdateRecord(InnerStyle innerStyle)
{
"color": "sample string 1",
"font-size": "sample string 2",
"font-family": "sample string 3"
}
#Code, your code is fine. It's just you cannot use [Json Property] while you are hitting controller via ajax. you have to use real class properties.
$('#font-size-ddl').change(function () {
var value = $(this).val();
var headerObj = {};
headerObj["HeaderColor"] = "Red";
headerObj["HeaderFontSize"] = value;
headerObj["HeaderFontFamily"] = "Arial";
console.log(JSON.stringify({ custom: headerObj }));
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("UpdateRecord", "Employee")",
traditional: true,
data: JSON.stringify({ custom: headerObj }),
dataType: JSON,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
});
I am trying to use Datatables within my webforms application.
unfortunatly I get the whole html page instead of json data :'(
this is my code.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#grid').dataTable({
"dataType": 'JSON',
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": 'GategoriesManagement.aspx/GetPersonList',
"bProcessing": true,
"aoColumns": [
{ "sName": "d.name" },
]
});
});
</script>
my webmethod
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public static string GetPersonList()
{
List<personne> personeList = new List<personne>();
personne person = new personne();
person.name = "test1";
personeList.Add(person);
person = new personne();
person.name = "test2";
person = new personne();
person.name = "test3";
personeList.Add(person);
FormatedList list = new FormatedList();
list.iTotalDisplayRecords = 10;
list.iTotalRecords = 200;
list.aaData = personeList;
var javaScriptSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string jsonString = javaScriptSerializer.Serialize(list);
return jsonString;
}
and this is the alert that I get in the browser
DataTables warning: table id={id} - Ajax error
it appear that my webmethod is not accessible
what should I do ???
The magic piece of code which makes this work as of 1.10.12 is the ajax parameter. ASP.NET wraps JSON results in the .d property, so you need to execute the callback on that object.
$('#tableId').dataTable(
{
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"stateSave": false,
"lengthMenu": [[10, 30, 100, -1], [10, 30, 100, "All"]], // 1st = page length values, 2nd = displayed options
ajax: function (data, callback, settings) {
$.ajax({
url: "/UserService.asmx/GetUsers",
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
dataType: "json",
data: JSON.stringify(data),
success: function (data) {
$spinner.hide();
callback(data.d); // execute the callback function on the wrapped data
}
});
},
I really liked #Echilon answer, but I'd like to add that it's possible to send the Ajax request as GET too.
Having said that, and although OP's example didn't include a parameter in the GetPersonList() method, I'd like to show how parameters would need to be sent on an Ajax request depending if it's a GET or POST** request:
POST request
It doesn't matter if the value is of type int, string, boolean or an object, the way to send data is the same that #Echilon showed. Although here's a little variation:
data: function (data) {
data.parameterName = value;
return JSON.stringify(data);
}
And here's a brief example. Let's suppose that this is your original method:
[WebMethod]
//The parameter could be a int, string or bool
public static string GetPersonList(int|string|bool value)
{
//do something here...
}
And in your Ajax call:
$('#tableId').dataTable(
{
//your DataTable options here
$.ajax({
url: "/UserService.asmx/GetUsers",
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
//dataType: "json", only include this if you're expecting the result in json format
data: function (data) {
data.value = 10|"Test"|false; //Send the appropriate data according to the parameter type in your method
return JSON.stringify(data);
},
dataSrc: "d.data" //DON'T forget to include this or your table won't load the data
},
// your columns settings here
});
In case you need to send an object here's a brief example. Let's suppose that this is your original method:
class Person
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
}
[WebMethod]
public static string GetPersonList(Person person)
{
//do something here...
}
Then in your Ajax call:
var $person = {};
$person.Id = 9;
$person.UserName = "jsmith";
$('#tableId').dataTable(
{
//your DataTable options here
$.ajax({
url: "/UserService.asmx/GetUsers",
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
//dataType: "json", only include this if you're expecting the result in json format
data: function (data) {
data.person = $person;
return JSON.stringify(data);
},
dataSrc: "d.data" //DON'T forget to include this or your table won't load the data
},
// your columns settings here
});
GET request
If you prefer to use a GET request, then the way to send the data varies a little. If the value is of type int or boolean, you can send it like this:
data: function (data) {
data.parameterName = value;
return data;
}
But if you want to send a string or an object, then you can send it like this:
data: function (data) {
data.parameterName = JSON.stringify(value);
return data;
}
Let's see a brief example. Let's suppose that this is your original method:
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)] // I didn't include the ResponseFormat parameter because its default value is json
//The parameter could be a int or bool
public static string GetPersonList(int|bool value)
{
//do something here...
}
And in your Ajax call:
$('#tableId').dataTable(
{
//your DataTable options here
$.ajax({
url: "/UserService.asmx/GetUsers",
type: 'GET',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
//dataType: "json", only include this if you're expecting the result in json format
data: function (data) {
data.value = 10|false; //Send the appropriate data according to the parameter type in your method
return data;
},
dataSrc: "d.data" //DON'T forget to include this or your table won't load the data
},
// your columns settings here
});
In case you need to send a string or an object here's a brief example. Let's suppose that this is your original method:
class Person
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
}
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)] // I didn't include the ResponseFormat parameter because its default value is json
//The parameter could be an object or a string
public static string GetPersonList(Person person) // or (string value)
{
//do something here...
}
Then in your Ajax call:
var $person = {};
$person.Id = 9;
$person.UserName = "jsmith";
$('#tableId').dataTable(
{
//your DataTable options here
$.ajax({
url: "/UserService.asmx/GetUsers",
type: 'GET',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
//dataType: "json", only include this if you're expecting the result in json format
data: function (data) {
data.person = JSON.stringify($country);
//data.value = JSON.stringify("Test"); Or this one, depending the parameter of your method
return data;
},
dataSrc: "d.data" //DON'T forget to include this or your table won't load the data
},
// your columns settings here
});
I have an object in jquery:
function SaveRequest() {
var request = BuildSaveRequest();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
processData: false,
data: JSON.stringify({'model':request}),
url: "somepage.aspx/JsonSave",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(response, status, xhr) {
},
error: function (res, status, exception) {
}
});
return false;
}
function BuildSaveRequest() {
var request = {
customerName: $("#CustomerName").val(),
contactName: $("#ContactName").val(),
};
return request;
}
And I have the following c# code:
[WebMethod]
public static string JsonSave(MyModel model)
{
}
}
public class MyModel
{
public string CustomerName { get; set; }
public string ContactName { get; set; }
}
When the ajax call goes, the web method JsonSave automatically place the values (CustomerName, & ContactName) from the jquery object 'request' into the appropriate properties in object 'model'. How does it know to do that???
Added answer from comments:
Model Binders are a beautiful thing.
I would recommend reading the source found here this is for MVC but I'm pretty sure it acts the same in webforms as well.
It is really smart and checks the in request for the data so it doesn't really matter if you use webforms or mvc. You can even create our own.
I am using jquery 1.8 to post data to ASP.Net 4 MVC 2 like this
PostData('Home/Login',{ "username": $("#username").val(),"password": $("#password").val()})
function PostData(url, data) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
data:data,
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
Success:successFunction, Error: ErrorFunction
});
};
My model
namespace FmsMvc.Models
{
public class UsersModel
{
public int UserID { get; set; }
public string Role { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public DateTime ts { get; set; }
public string Username { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
}
}
My Controller
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult Login(UsersModel u)
{
if (doSomething(Prop1, Prop2)
return Json(null); // Success
return Json(new { Status:'success',Msg:" Your username"+u.username });
}
My controller does not get the data. It gets null when debugging.
what am i doing wrong?
NOTE
I deleted all the javascript in the Scripts folder, as I am using a custom script
Have you tried JSON.strinfigy-ing your data before POSTing?
function PostData(url, data) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
data:JSON.stringify(data),
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
Success:successFunction, Error: ErrorFunction
});
};
Try it like this:
var data = { "username": $("#username").val(),
"password": $("#password").val()
};
PostData('Home/Login',JSON.stringify(data));
You can use the JQuery .post() method which will parse the values for you
var url = '#Url.Action("Login", "Home")'; // beter to use this rather than hardcoding
var userName = `$("#username").val();
var password = $("#password").val();
$.post(url, { Username: userName, Password: password }, function(result) {
// do something with the result you returned from the action method
alert(result.Msg);
});
Note, only properties Username and Password will be set in the model. The other properties will be their default values.
After much debugging, i found the culprit
in my ajax function above i have this two line
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType:'json',
Somehow, this should not be. when i submitted the form with the two lines present, this is what i saw in chrome dev
But when i removed the line contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', so that the $.ajax is now
$.ajax({ // create an AJAX call...
type: 'post', // GET or POST
url: url, // the file to call
dataType:'json',
data: data, // get the form data
Success:successFunction, Error: ErrorFunction
});
when i look in chrome dev after submit, i see this, which was not there before
I dont' know why this is the case, i will try in other browsers to see if it all works
I want to send some data back form my JavaScript to WCF. This object I send back needs to get loaded in the Foo class. If I debug the code I can see the function (Sting) gets called. But if i check whats in the the object I got returned, this object is null.
This indicates the data can't be stored in in the Object of WCF. The WCF works find when I send data to the JavaScript with Ajax. FYI I use .NET 3.5
this is how I try to receive the data: WCF:
namespace TPlatform
{
[ServiceContract(Namespace = "")]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class DataService
{
[OperationContract]
public void Sting(Foo postData)
{
var x = 1; //Breakpoint, postData is null?
}
}
[DataContract]
public class Foo
{
[DataMember]
public string Bar;
}
}
JavaScript:
var fooObject = { "Bar": "test" };
function sendDataToWcf(object) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "DataService.svc/Sting",
data: JSON.stringify(fooObject),
processData: false,
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
success: suckcess,
error: showError
});
}
What am I doing wrong? How can I read the the data into my class?
Try this
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
//dataType: 'json',
contentType: "application/json",
data: JSON.stringify({ postData: fooObject}),
success: function (response) {
successCallback(response);
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
handleError(xhr, status, error);
}
});
Update: Change:
var fooObject = { "Bar": "test" };
too
var fooObject = { Bar: "test" };
and dont send the datatype.
