This is my first time that I an using WCF Service with Knockout. I want to POST an entire view model as a JSON object with an ajax call.
This is the error message that I get:
Endpoints using 'UriTemplate' cannot be used with 'System.ServiceModel.Description.WebScriptEnablingBehavior'
I have noticed that some developers send each value as a parameter which I feel is unnecessary especially if you work with a big object.
This is my WCF method:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "AddNewEvent?newEvent", Method = "POST", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public bool AddNewEvent(Models.DAL_CRMEvents newEvent)
{
Entities.CRMEntities dbCRM = new Entities.CRMEntities();
//Models.CRMEvents crmEvent = new Models.CRMEvents();
Entities.Event crmEvent = new Entities.Event();
crmEvent.EventDateCreated = Convert.ToDateTime(newEvent.DateCreated);
crmEvent.EventActive = true;
crmEvent.EventDescription = newEvent.Description;
crmEvent.EventDate = Convert.ToDateTime(newEvent.Date);
crmEvent.EventTimeStart = TimeSpan.Parse(newEvent.TimeStart);
crmEvent.EventTimeEnd = TimeSpan.Parse(newEvent.TimeEnd);
crmEvent.EventAllDay = newEvent.AllDay;
dbCRM.AddToEvent(crmEvent);
return true;
}
This is my ajax function
function SaveEvent (data) {
var s = {
newEvent: ko.mapping.toJS(data)
}
alert(data.AllDay());
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "../Services/CRMDataService.svc/AddNewEvent",
data: JSON.stringify(s),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "JSON",
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
if (textStatus == "error" && errorThrown != "") {
var n = noty({
text: errorThrown,
type: 'warning',
dismissQueue: false,
modal: true,
layout: 'center',
theme: 'defaults',
callback: {
}
})
}
}
})
}
