Conclusion

Advantages

·         This approach is easier and the code is shorter and reliable.

·         It provides greater compatibility since it is easy to change fast.

·         Less work for developer to write client script and a server method.

·         Page parameters become strongly typed and automatically validated.

·         You don't have to parse and convert parameters by yourself. In ASP.NET, parameters passed on URLs are available through Request.QueryString, only as strings.

·         No need to look at a target page's code to know how to call it. No need for separate documentation about ways to call a page.

·         Page parameters are automatically validated and become strongly typed.

·         As we don’t to post entire viewstate of the page using Page Methods we achieve the bandwidth benefits.

Key Points to Remember

·         The Page Method should be static using the attribute [WebMethod].

·         The Page Method can be in the code behind file of the page and in aspx file as well.

·         The EnablePageMethods property of the script manger should be marked as “True”.

·         The call back methods are mandatory to receive the processed result on the client side.

·         Page Methods don’t support all the datatypes to return to client.

·         We can access the Session. Application and Cache variables using Page Methods.

Is it possible for the page method to return a structure instead a simple string?
And how to read it on client side?
Thank you!

The article could be better structured. It's all a bit chaotic and confusing...
Title: clear now

OK, I understand now.
public static string GetStatus(string s1, string s2){ . . . appears later.
It's better to view the whole article at once.
Very good explanations by the way. Thank you very much.

The page method call is: PageMethods.GetStatus(onSucceed, onError);
But the code behind sample is public static string GetPageMethod()

As Woho stated, I don't understand why one is GetPageMethod() and the other is GetStatus()

that would be a logical error, have you tried to debug onsucceed method and check the value before it is assigned to textbox. Can you send me the code?

Hi,

OnSucceed event, I want to set the result value to a textbox. For that, I find the textbox and assign result to textbox's "value" property. I receive the expected value for result but textbox has an empty value..any reason?? I use onblur event of another textbox and do the same thing and at that time textbox shows result value..any idea??

You keep referring to the method GetStatus, but I guess you really mean GetPageMethod? Otherwise it doesn't make any sense...
Interesting article although, but feels a bit like "ugly coding" (the concept, not your code :) ).
