I'm trying to call web service function via GET method using jQuery, but having a problem. This is a web service code:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://something.com/samples")] [ScriptService] [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)] public class TestWebService : System.Web.Services.WebService { [WebMethod] public string Test2() { string result = null; try { result = "{'result':'success', 'datetime':'" + DateTime.Now.ToString() + "'"; } catch (Exception ex) { result = "Something wrong happened"; } return result; } }
That's the way I call the function:
$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "http://localhost/testwebsite/TestWebService.asmx/Test2", data: "{}", contentType: "application/json", dataType: "json", error: function (xhr, status, error) { alert(xhr.responseText); }, success: function (msg) { alert('Call was successful!'); } });
Method is called successfully, but result string gets covered by XML tags, like this:
<string> {'result':'success', 'datetime':'4/26/2010 12:11:18 PM' </string>
And I get an error because of this (error handler is called). Does anybody know what can be done about this?
