PageMethod in coolite

[Jurke]

Hi
Is there anything similar to PageMethods (AjaxToolkit) in the Coolite? With pagemetod you can call a webservice function from javascript. You are probably familiar with the concept.





<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager2" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true"/>




[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static string GetSQLData()
{
****
}



JAVASCRIPT
call to the GetSQLData()
//--

Hello.
You should have a look at the AjaxEvents in the example explorer. i guess that will do it :)
There was also a few topics about them where geoff/vlad said interesting stuff about AjaxEvents in the forum that you can easily find.

Hi
AjaxEvent is a CodeBehind event. I need to call a code behind function from Java script? I cant find anything on that on the forum.

Ok sry, I see what u mean now.
I think I saw something posted by Geoff about that for the nxt version, i'll try to find it. I might be completely wrong tho :/

edit :
Would that work for you?

Yes you are right!
Im to bad at searching it turns out :)

But is it possible to call a function that is not connected to a button, I also need to have input parameters to the funtion like the pagemetods?

You can define customAjaxEvents within your scriptmanager (and within scriptmanagerproxy with the next release). i think you can then specifically call your method from wherever you want within your script like a page method.
Check if you need to specify a target or not.
Other than that I dn't see any way to achieve what you want, but I'm not qualified enough to tell you it's not possible.

edit :
U slighlty modified ur answer, therefore mine isnt rly coherent with ur question now :p
I dnt know how u can specifically pass arguments to an ajax event (but i'm interested in it), but that's certainly possible.
Need an answer from someone competent :p

[Jurke]

Thanks! will wait for the experts to awnser then :)

Vladsh or geoff? I would really like you opinion on this one. If its not possible to call a codebehind function from javascript with input parameters and a return value. Im forced to do it with the worthless Ajax Toolkit.

Hi Mikael,

We're working on another feature called [AjaxMethod] and should be able to post some code samples tomorrow.


If you poke around the Sandbox project you might be able to see a small sample of what we're working on, although expect that code/syntax to change within the next 24 hours.*

Thanks geoff! can you please update this thread when its ready?

Isnt this name already used in MagicAjax? It could be confusing (tho its really suited here :()

[Jurke]

Is there anythig ready to try out yet? with the new syntax i mean?
