[Mono-aspnet-list] ScriptService with JSON instead of WebService -- how?

[Mikko Vuoti]

There seems to be a few questions and answers around on this subject, but so
far I have not found the missing piece of wisdom to get my script service
working.

 

I want to create a service to be consumed by a jQuery.Ajax driven javascript
app. However, I can't get the method configured so that it would return JSON
instead of XML.

 

Here is the trivial C#

======================

using System;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Services;

using System.Web.Script.Services;

 

namespace ScriptServiceTest

{

  [ScriptService]

  public class MyService : WebService

  {

    [ScriptMethod]

    public string Hello(string name)

    {

      return("Hello,  " + name);

    }

  }

}

======================

I have added the reference to System.Web.Extensions.

 

I have also generated the web.config (mconfig --target=web af AJAX), not
sure if this has to do with the problem, though.

 

The code above doesn't make the service available. If I add
[WebService]/[WebMethod] attributes to the class/method definition the
method becomes available as a regular web service, i.e. it returns XML - not
JSON.

 

I've been testing on Mono / .NET 3.5 and 4.0.

 

Any pointer to a resource explaining how script services should be set up
with mono is warmly welcome!

 

 

thanks your time!
