How to use “Ajax Enabled WCF” in asp.net ?


Hi

“Ajax Enabled WCF ” is mainly used to consume the wcf service in client side using ajax.

Using Script mangaer and Javascript we can easily call the wcf service.

Here is the few steps to do this task.

Step1. Create the asp.net project

Step2: Add the “Ajax Enabled WCF” like this image.

Step3: Write the method in WCF like this

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;

[ServiceContract(Namespace = “”)]

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

public class Service
{
// Add [WebGet] attribute to use HTTP GET
[OperationContract]
public int CostOfBook(int quantity)
{
return 200 * quantity;
}

}

Step4: Compile the code.

Step5: Add the  Ajax scriptmanger and consume the service like this

<asp:ScriptManager ID=”ScriptManager1″ runat=”server”>

<Services>

<asp:ServiceReference Path=”~/Service.svc” />

</Services>

</asp:ScriptManager>

Step5: Take one Html Textbox control and Button control and write the Javascript like this

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
function Button1_onclick()
{

Service.CostOfBook(document.getElementById(‘txtNoOfBook’).value, onSuccess, null, null);

}

function onSuccess(result)
{
//alert(result);
$get(“lblmsg”).innerText =”Total Price of book is ” +result;

//alert(“Total Price of book is ” +result);
}

</script>

The complete HTML code is like this

<%@ Page Language=”C#” AutoEventWireup=”true” CodeFile=”Default.aspx.cs” Inherits=”_Default” %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;

<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”&gt;
<head runat=”server”>
<title></title>
<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
function Button1_onclick()
{

Service.CostOfBook(document.getElementById(‘txtNoOfBook’).value, onSuccess, null, null);

}

function onSuccess(result)
{
//alert(result);
$get(“lblmsg”).innerText =”Total Price of book is ” +result;

//alert(“Total Price of book is ” +result);
}

</script>

<style type=”text/css”>
.style1
{
width: 100%;
}
.style2
{
width: 324px;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>
<form id=”form1″ runat=”server”>
<div>

<asp:ScriptManager ID=”ScriptManager1″ runat=”server”>

<Services>

<asp:ServiceReference Path=”~/Service.svc” />

</Services>

</asp:ScriptManager>

<br />

</div>
<table class=”style1″>

<td align=”right”>
No of books</td>
<td>
<input id=”txtNoOfBook” type=”text” /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=”style2″>
&nbsp;</td>
<td>

<input id=”Button1″ type=”button” value=”Submit” onclick=”return Button1_onclick();” /></td>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=”style2″>
&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID=”lblmsg” runat=”server” Text=””></asp:Label>
</td>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

    Error: “Service is undefined”

    I’ve tried everything, first and foremost following this tutorial TO THE LETTER in my existing ASP.NET solution. I have been fighting this for over 5 days now: javascript complains: “Service is undefined” when clearly it’s defined! I am tearing out my hair over this, WHAT IS WRONG?!?!

    Under vstudio2010

    web.config

        <system.serviceModel>
          <behaviors>
            <endpointBehaviors>
              <behavior name="web">
