Call WCF Service Using jQuery - Part 1

This article contains the following which I used: 

  • Used WCF Service
  • Configuration Setting for WCF in web.config
  • Used JavaScript,JQuery and JSON.
  • Insert,Update and Delete data without refreshing page.
SQL Script 
  •  This is a SQL script for above source code.          
  1. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProductInfo](  
  2.     [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,  
  3.     [ProductName] [varchar](maxNULL,  
  4.     [ProductDescription] [varchar](maxNULL,  
  5.     [CreatedDate] [datetime] DEFAULT GETDATE()  
  6.     )  
WCF Service setting in web.config file
  •  This is service configuration setting.
  •  We need to add service end point and behavior setting in web.config file.
  •  there are so many way to host wcf service like self hosting, WAS, IIS and Window service.
  1. <system.serviceModel>  
  2.   <behaviors>  
  3.     <endpointBehaviors>  
  4.       <behavior name="AspNetAjaxBehavior">  
  5.         <enableWebScript />  
  6.       </behavior>  
  7.     </endpointBehaviors>  
  8.   </behaviors>  
  9.   <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />  
  10.   <services>  
  11.     <service name="WCFService.ProductService">  
  12.       <endpoint behaviorConfiguration="AspNetAjaxBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding"  
  13.        contract="WCFService.IProductService" />  
  14.     </service>  
  15.   </services>  
  16. </system.serviceModel>  
Add Script Reference in Default.aspx page
  •  I add a script reference inside scriptmanager. 
  1. <asp:ScriptManager runat="server">  
  2.      <Scripts>  
  3.         <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Script/Product.js" />  
  4.       </Scripts>  
  5.       <Services>  
  6.          asp:ServiceReference Path="~/ProductService.svc" />  
  7.       </Services>  
  8. </asp:ScriptManager>  
IproductService.cs page
  •  The following interface method contain insert, update, delete definition only which is used in service call.
    1. [ServiceContract(Namespace = "WCFService")]    
    2. interface IProductService    
    3. {

    5.     void AddProductDetail(string productName, string productDescription);    
    6.   
    7.     [OperationContract]    
    8.     void UpdateProductDetail(int updateId, string productName, string productDescription);    
    9.   
    10.     [OperationContract]    
    11.     void DeleteProductDetail(int id);    
    12.   
    13.     [OperationContract]    
    14.     string EditProductDetail(int id);    
    15.   
    16.     [OperationContract]    
    17.     string LoadAllProductDetail();    
    18.   
    19. }

  •  This file contain functionality which is mentioned in the above interface file.  
    1. [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]    
    2. public class ProductService : IProductService    
    3. {    
    4.     #region  IproductService Member    
    5.     readonly TestProductEntities _testProductEntities = new  TestProductEntities();    
    6.   
    7.     [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]

    14.   
    15.             var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();    
    16.             return (serializer.Serialize(productDetail.ToList()));    
    17.         }    
    18.         catch (Exception ex)
