In this video we will discuss how to call server side aspx page method using jQuery AJAX. 



We will have a c# function in the code-behind file, the retrieves employee details by ID from the SQL Server database. We want to call this server side c# function using jquery and display the data as shown below.

Calling aspx page method using jquery

Step 1 : Create SQL Server table and insert employee data

Create table tblEmployee
(
     Id int primary key identity,
     Name nvarchar(50),
     Gender nvarchar(10),
     Salary int
)
GO

Insert into tblEmployee values ('Mark', 'Male', 50000)
Insert into tblEmployee values ('Sara', 'Female', 60000)
Insert into tblEmployee values ('John', 'Male', 45000)
Insert into tblEmployee values ('Pam', 'Female', 45000)
GO

Step 2 : Create a stored procedure to retrieve employee data by ID

Create procedure spGetEmployeeById
@Id int
as
Begin
 Select ID, Name, Gender, Salary
 from tblEmployee
 where ID = @Id
End

Step 3 : Create new asp.net web application project. Name it Demo. 


Step 4 : Include a connection string in the web.config file to your database.
<add name="DBCS"
     connectionString="server=.;database=SampleDB;integrated security=SSPI" />

Step 5 : Add a class file to the project. Name it Employee.cs. Copy and paste the following code.


namespace Demo
{
    public class Employee
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Gender { get; set; }
        public int Salary { get; set; }
    }
}

Step 6 : Add a new WebForm. Name it WebForm.aspx. Copy and paste the following code in the code-behind page.


using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace Demo
{
    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        [System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
        public static Employee GetEmployeeById(int employeeId)
        {
            Employee employee = new Employee();

            string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBCS"].ConnectionString;
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs))
            {
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spGetEmployeeById", con);
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter()
                {
                    ParameterName = "@Id",
                    Value = employeeId
                });
                con.Open();
                SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                while (rdr.Read())
                {
                    employee.ID = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["Id"]);
                    employee.Name = rdr["Name"].ToString();
                    employee.Gender = rdr["Gender"].ToString();
                    employee.Salary = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["Salary"]);
                }
            }

            return employee;
        }
    }
}

Step 7 : Copy and paste the following HTML and jQuery code in WebForm1.aspx


<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs"
         Inherits="Demo.WebForm1" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script src="jquery-1.11.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#btnGetEmployee').click(function () {
                var empId = $('#txtId').val();
                $.ajax({
                    url: 'WebForm1.aspx/GetEmployeeById',
                    method: 'post',
                    contentType: "application/json",
                    data: '{employeeId:' + empId + '}',
                    dataType: "json",
                    success: function (data) {
                        $('#txtName').val(data.d.Name);
                        $('#txtGender').val(data.d.Gender);
                        $('#txtSalary').val(data.d.Salary);
                    },
                    error: function (err) {
                        alert(err);
                    }
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Arial">
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        ID :
        <input id="txtId" type="text" style="width: 86px" />
        <input type="button" id="btnGetEmployee" value="Get Employee" />
        <br /><br />
        <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse">
            <tr>
                <td>Name</td>
                <td><input id="txtName" type="text" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Gender</td>
                <td><input id="txtGender" type="text" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Salary</td>
                <td><input id="txtSalary" type="text" /></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

    1. In your html file, make sure all of your $.ajax settings are right. If you renamed WebForm1.aspx to another file name, make sure you make this change.

  4. How create in this example "Calling aspx page method using jquery" with Handling json data returned from asp.net web method?

    I try to add the following code, but I can not make it work. Is it an idea to have?

    [WebMethod] //opcion2
    public void GetEmployeeByIdv2(int employeeId)
    {
    Employee employee = new Employee();

    string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TestJquery"].ConnectionString;
    using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs))
    {
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spGetEmployeeById", con);
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter()
    {
    ParameterName = "@Id",
    Value = employeeId
    });
    con.Open();
    SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    while (rdr.Read())
    {
    employee.ID = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["Id"]);
    employee.Name = rdr["Name"].ToString();
    employee.Gender = rdr["Gender"].ToString();
    employee.Salary = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["Salary"]);
    }
    }
    string resultado = "";
    JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    // return js.Serialize(employee);
    resultado = Convert.ToString(js.Serialize(employee));
    }

    And Jquery


    //Part 67 video
    $(document).ready(function () {
    $('#btnGetEmployee2').click(function () {
    var empId = $('#txtId').val();
    $.ajax({
    method: 'post',
    url: 'EmployeeWebMethod.aspx/GetEmployeeByIdv2',

    data: '{employeeId:' + empId + '}',
    dataType: "json", //formato json
    success: function (data) {
    $('#txtName').val(data.d.Name);
    $('#txtGender').val(data.Gender);
    $('#txtSalary').val(data.Salary);
    },

    1. put in
      contentType: "application/json",
      with the other data passed in the json literal to the $.ajax method since you are passing hand made stringified data,data:'{employeeId'+empId+'}', to as the data property.
