Great stuff and all, but how did this make it to the front page of Digg?

I thought Digg was losing it's geek only status.

Anyway good stuff and congrats on making it to the Digg FP

What's with the "D" property in MS AJAX? I rolled some of my own responses with ASP.NET MVC (and therefore did not use "ScriptService" attribute), and the MS AJAX would fail without a "D" property in my JSON response. I have found no documentation about it anywhere ... but I see you mentioned it, indirectly, in your post. What can you tell us about it?

BTW, great post.

This is great, until now I've been using a special Javascript library to call SOAP methods but it didn't always work.

If you aren't already using the ASP.NET AJAX framework for something else, you don't necessarily need to load the page down with MicrosoftAjax.js and the generated proxy.

As long as you POST the request and set the content-type correctly, you can call the JSON serialized version of an ASMX service with any framework (or XHR directly). Here's an example of using jQuery:

@Matt - The {d} prefix is part of the expected response for the ASP.NET AJAX library. The responses are wrapped in this "d" object to prevent a known attack which could happen if the type of the response were arrays (array object constructor hijacking).

Note: just remove the only lasting runat="server" tag from the example in which you manually load generated "proxy.js" file and all would be set and done :)

We call it CopyPasteException ;)

Without using any ASP or add-ons you can make your life easier when calling web services using JavaScript. Use WSRequest.js native JavaScript web service client available at https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/wsf/javascript/native/. It supports WS addressing stuff and more. This script is currently maintain by former Microsoft employee Jonthan Marsh (now with WSO2).

It is lots simpler to just use Ajax to call a proxy written C# which does all the interaction with the Web Service. Placing everying on the client like this seems to be taking quite a few steps backwards.

@Clarke - the AJAX solution still needs to be able to call the proxy. In fact, this is what this post series is leading up to... a proxy that "speaks" JSON that composes several other SOAP-based web services. At some point, though, you have to call the proxy, and this is what the code in this article showed how to do. Check out part 2 at http://blogs.msdn.com/kaevans/archive/2008/04/09/calling-web-services-via-ajax-part-2.aspx, and stay tuned for more installments in this series.

I hope I'll be able to write such beautiful (and working) code. For now I just keep it to php!
