The client side AJAX with HTTP POST request is significant when it comes to loading speed and responsiveness.Following is the service created that return's string in JSON.[WebMethod][ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]public string getData(string marks){ DataTable dt = retrieveDataTable("table", @" SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE MARKS='"+ marks.ToString() +"' "); List<object> RowList = new List<object>(); foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows) { Dictionary<object, object> ColList = new Dictionary<object, object>(); foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns) { ColList.Add(dc.ColumnName, (string.Empty == dr[dc].ToString()) ? null : dr[dc]); } RowList.Add(ColList); } JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer(); string JSON = js.Serialize(RowList); return JSON;}Consuming the webservice $.ajax({ type: "POST", data: '{ "marks": "' + val + '"}', // This is required if we are using parameters contentType: "application/json", dataType: "json", url: "/dataservice.asmx/getData", success: function(response) { RES = JSON.parse(response.d); var obj = JSON.stringify(RES); } error: function (msg) { alert('failure'); }});Remember to reference jQuery library on the page.
