Hi You haven't specified any error information so I can't figure out the exact problem. But from your code it seems that you need to call a WebMethod which will call a small functionality which can be attained by PageMethods concept which is very simple while implementation and also you need have carry additional .js files. Here is the explanation of the implementation for the same:- 1. Add scriptmanager object to your .aspx page and EnablePageMethods attribute to true asp : ScriptManager ID =ScriptManager1 runat =server EnablePageMethods =true> asp : ScriptManager > 2. Add a webmethod in your code behind file [System.Web.Services.WebMethod] public static string GetMyContent() { //here add your logic to get your data //i'm just returning the current date time string for simulation return DateTime.Now.ToString(); } 4. Now you add the following script in your .aspx page function CallForData() { PageMethods.GetMyContent (OnGetMyContentComplete); } function OnGetMyContentComplete(result userContext methodName) { $get('empDiv').innerText = result; } Here call CallForData() from any event from on which you want to retrive data. In CallForData() calls PageMethods.GetMyContent GetMyContent is the WebMethod which we have defined in the code begind page. Now the browser will call GetMyContent asynchronously so we specify the method name(OnGetMyContentComplete) which will get called once the .Net completes the request and gets result. I think this will suffice your purpose if not then let me know the error in your approach. 3. Note that for adding WebMethod you will have to add reference to System.Web.Services.dll
