Calling a WebService (from JavaScript) with Atlas
This is too easy and damn powerful! WebServices can be called from JavaScript directly once the service is registered in the Script Manager.
Script Manager
Add your service to the manager as seen below:
<atlas:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="sb1" EnablePartialRendering="true" >
<Services>
<atlas:ServiceReference Path="~/YourService.asmx" />
</Services>
</atlas:ScriptManager>
JavaScript
Once the ScriptManager has discovered the web service, it creates all the objects for you..
<script language="javascript">
//<!--
function callYourService(){
// call ClassName.MethodName();
YourService.HelloWorld();
}
//-->
</script>
The above example is a very simple one.. It is possible to return an AtlasDataSet or your own object.
