Introduction

Here is a very short example of the usage of the jquery.dotNet-0.2.js plugin version. The new jquery.dotNet-0.3.js version CHANGES HIS FUNCTION SIGNATURE, please review the file comments to find out the new signature.

JS

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    // I use no conflict because the AJAX ASP.NET Framework Client API
    // overrides the $ function.
    jQuery.noConflict();
	// Execute all when the document is ready.
	jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

	    // private function for debugging
	    function debug(log) {
	        if (window.console && window.console.log)
	            window.console.log(log);
	    };

	    /*
	    * Simpliest call
	    */
	    $.callDotNet("Service.asmx/GetExample", function(result) {
	        debug(result);
	    });

	    /*
	    * Here we can define a global error handler to the plugin, and data
	    */
	    // WebService URL
	    var wsUrl = "Service.asmx/GetExampleData";
	    // Data
	    var data = "{pageNumber: 1, pageSize: 20, sortColumn: \"FirstName\", sortDirection: \"ASC\"}";
	    // Global Error Handler for AJAX requests
	    $.callDotNet.onError = function(error) {
	        alert("Run away!!!");
	    }
	    // The call back method.
	    function onSuccess(result) {
	        debug(result);
	    }
	    // And fanally the call to the web service
	    $.callDotNet(wsUrl, data, onSuccess);
	});
