Introduction

While working in ASP.NET, sometimes we need to call server side methods asynchronously without having a postback. Sometimes it is either a full page postback or partial page postback. But thanks to the ASP.NET team, we are provided implementation of ICallback very easily.

ICallback

ICallback is lightweight process. It uses well known XMLHTTP object internally to call server side method. It does not cause page postback and does not cause page rendering. If we are to show output at the client side, we need to make output HTML ourselves and render the controls manually.

ICallbackEventHandler

ICallback is implemented in ASP.NET by using ICallbackEventHandler interface. It has two methods; one of them is used to call from JavaScript (client side code) and other one returns the result asynchronously back to the JavaScript function.

We just need to perform some action through server side code at server side. It then needs to return the results, but results are in instance or object of any class which would not be easy for JavaScript code to handle. Here we prefer JSON which stands for JavaScript Object Notation.

Hi,

Thingking in C++ (OOP), Web Applications has been tough for me. Thanks you made it quite easy to digest.
Just a question (I am new to Javascript), How do I convert{"Name":"Muhammad Adnan","Age":24} back to Javascript structure so I can access it like this, var strName = arg["Name"]?

sorry its my mistake.
it should be scriptMgr rather than cm
and should be like this
scriptMgr.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),"CallServer", callbackScript, true);

thanks for pointing out and being cause of correction.

In the Page_Load of your sample you call RegisterClientScriptBlock from an object called "cm". Where does that object come from?
Thanks.

what if you have to call method of you page class or any class which is not web service class :) and sometimes clients doesn't feel confident about to use any third party library (i mean JAYROCK) then what? :)

anyhow approaches are 1000000000. i tried to cover up few things like callback, json, javascript serialization in simple and basic manner.

i hope if u look in that way u will feel it better

thanks :)

Nice article!

But I would prefer to use a webservice from javascript. And when using JSON, I would recommend Jayrock. It really rocks ;)
