Introduction
Ajax DLL is a library developed using .NET 2005 for ASP.NET 2.0/3.0/3.5. It is used to call Server side methods from JavaScript. You can pass the method parameter value from JavaScript. A parameter can be a variable or an object.
In the given example, I have used the parameter as a string variable, an array object and a class object. A drawback of this dll is that you cannot access your server control in your method, because Page Life Cycle is not involved during the method call. But you can access your server control from javascript and assign the value which will be returned by Ajax method.
Using the Code
it’s very simple to use Ajax dll. You need to create a web application or a web site and add reference of Ajax.dll which is in the attached file.
Once a DLL has been added into your application, you need to place a one line code on Page_Load event as below :
This line will register your page class in DLL with all your AJAX method[s] written in the page class, which are given in the image below. Check the below image, you will find that the methods have been annotated with an attribute Ajax.AjaxMethod. You need to annotate with an attribute to the methods which you want to call from javascript.
There are 5 optional parameters with the Ajax.AjaxMethod attribute :
- Method Name: A method which you want to call from JS. Default will be the same method name which you have created.
- Js Callback method name: On Successful End Request of the Ajax call. Default will be the Callback_
. - Js Error method Name: any Error at the time of End Request of the Ajax call. Default will be the Error_
. - Loading Text flag: Bool flag to show a loading text or not. Default value is
false. - Loading Text: Which text you want to show. Default Text is
string.Empty.
Once the methods have been written, you can call all these methods from JS as defined in the first parameter of Ajax.AjaxMethod. For that, you can write JS methods as below:
Check here the CallTest1
() function, from the function Test1 method is called as defined in the first parameter of Ajax attribute. The parameter value and the method name should be the same.
At last, you need to apply some configuration in the web.config file as below:
Also you need to add the extension .ajax and .ajaxj in your directory setting with ASP.NET API. Find the steps below for that
1. Open the IIS.2. Open a property window of your virtual directory.
3. Click on "Configuration" button to open "Application Configuration" window under "Virtual Directory" tab
4. Under Mapping tab, click on "Add" button, it will open "Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping" window.
5. Write the extension ".ajax" in Extension textbox.
6. Click on "Browse" button, the default directory will be Framework Version directory. if it is not then select your framework version directory. it will be at "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vx.x.xxxxx".
7. Select "aspnet_isapi.dll" from that directory" and click on "Open" button of dialog box.
8. In Verbs frame select "Limit to" radio button and write "POST" in the textbox.
9. Uncheck the "Check that file exists" checkbox.
10. Click on "OK".
11. Same steps need to follow to add ".ajax" extension but in verb frame write "GET" in place of "POST" for that.
