In my asp.net solution, I am using jquery to manipulate some html code. I then want to convert this into an xml code, and send it back to the same page via ajax. So that the c# code can read it and do server side things to it.
Whats the best way to do this? Currently, I am putting the xml code into a invisible text box, then make the asp.net ajax call, which then in c# I can read the text in the textbox.
Is there a better way?
Thanks
If you use json you can do:
In your aspx page:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "webpage.aspx/doSomething", //doSomething is the method in the code-behind class
dataType: "json",
data: "{ data: 'data you want to pass to the C# method' }", // params to the doSomething method
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(msg) {
// do something with the data the C# method returned
},
error: function(msg) {
alert(msg.d);
}
});
In your webpage.aspx.cs:
[WebMethod]
private static <returnType> doSomething(string data){
// manipulate the data var
return <what you want>;
}
