Getting the data inside the C# web service from Jsonified string
- by gnomixa
In my JS I use Jquery's $ajax functions to call the web service and send the jsonified data to it. The data is in the following format:
var countries = {
"1A": {
id: "1A",
name: "Andorra"
},
"2B": {
id: 2B
name: "Belgium"
},
..etc
};
var jsonData = JSON.stringify({ data: data });
//then $ajax is called and it makes the call to the c# web service
On the c# side the web service needs to unpack this data, currently it comes in as string[][] data type. How do I convert it to the format so I can refer to the properties such as
.id and .name? Assuming I have a class called Sample with these properties?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Here is my JS code:
var jsonData = JSON.stringify(countries);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://localhost/MyService.asmx/Foo',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: jsonData,
success: function (msg) {
alert(msg.d);
},
error: function (xhr, status) {
switch (status) {
case 404:
alert('File not found');
break;
case 500:
alert('Server error');
break;
case 0:
alert('Request aborted');
break;
default:
alert('Unknown error ' + status);
}
}
});
inside c# web service I have:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Data;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Script.Services;
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod]
public string Foo(IDictionary<string, Country> countries)
{
return "success";
}
