I have a DataList and Update Panel in my page. After implementation, I checked that the response is talking very long time after using Update panels...Here is the study material. I have a Delete Command event in Datalist and works find in the above mentioned case. I was trying to implement Delete Command using Page Methods. Any Idea how to do that?
I basically want to find hidden controls in this event and have to delete the record in `database. Any help will be highly appreciated.
The full application can be downloaded from:
This sample uses rest services in ASP.Net (the same concepts can be applied to a MVC application)
The clearer advantage when using rest services vs page methods, is testability.
I will guide you step by step to configure the service:
You need the following references:
Nuget packages:
jQuery plugins:
Service info
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMyService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
UriTemplate = "/DeleteFromService",
Method = "DELETE")]
void Delete(int id);
}
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class MyService : IMyService
{
public void Delete(int id)
{
// delete your product
// simulate a long process
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
}
In Global.asax
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application startup
RouteTable.Routes.Ignore("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("",
new WebServiceHostFactory(),
typeof(MyService)));
}
In web.config
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
<standardEndpoints>
<webHttpEndpoint>
<standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="true"
automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true" />
</webHttpEndpoint>
</standardEndpoints>
</system.serviceModel>
Register scripts (they can be registered in a master page)
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" language="javascript" ></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.blockui.1.33.js"></script>
In a ASP.Net content page (in this sample, I am using a master page)
<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
<input type="button" value="Delete" id="myButton" />
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function deleteFromService() {
if (!confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?")) {
return;
}
$.blockUI();
$.ajax({
cache: false,
type: "DELETE",
async: true,
url: "/DeleteFromService",
data: "3", // get your id to delete
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
success: function () {
$(document).ajaxStop($.unblockUI);
alert("done");
},
error: function (xhr) {
$(document).ajaxStop($.unblockUI);
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
});
}
jQuery().ready(function () {
$("#myButton").click(deleteFromService);
});
</script>
</asp:Content>
And that’s it, ajax commands the easy way =)
