I want to bind a datasource to the gridview on client-side.

I have read similar articles on how to do this from the following sites:

http://weblogs.asp.n...ing-jquery.aspx

http://www.aspdotnet...-jquery-or.html

I tried to use the codes but no data is displayed. In the second URL, there is a code to display alert on error and that's what I get when I run my codes. I am not sure what the error is though. Does this mean document is not ready? I'm not really sure what causes the error.

The only difference I saw was the script they referenced.

The first used <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js">
while in the second, it's <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

I hope someone could help me.

have you tried changing the alert("Error") to alert(result) to see what is returned? that will clue you in to why it doesn't work. Beyond that we need to see some code in order to identify what you might have missed.

I found what I missed.

My method for the WebMethod is not static.

I tried creating a simple application and it works but is there any way I can fill my gridview with javascript without having to make my method static?

The reason that I cannot declare it static is because the data that will be used as a datasource will be depending on text inside some textboxes and a viewstate. Whenever I make my method static, the textboxes and viewstate were underlined blue and I get this error:

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property

What should I do about this?

I already changed the WebMethod to static and used static variables instead of ViewState.

I got the program working but there are still some errors.

The program I am doing has a table in its main page. Depending on the cell that is clicked, a window will be displayed containing a gridview of details.

So what I did is...

On the onclick event of the tablecell, it calls a javascript which calls a WebMethod, passes parameters to the WebMethod, then retrieves an XML that will be the source of the gridview. It works for some cells but there are cells that returns the error, 'undefined'. I googled it and some said it might be a server error.

The code I have so far is...

<script type="text/javascript">
                function readCellSelection(cell,region,plant){
                    tabContainer = tabcntReport.control; 
                    var ActiveTab = tabContainer.get_activeTab();
                    
                    var shipment = new Object();
                    shipment.Cell = cell;
                    shipment.Region = region;
                    shipment.Plant = plant;
                    shipment.ActiveTabID = ActiveTab.get_id();
                    $.ajax({
                        type: "POST",
                        url: "TRCIView.aspx/RetrieveData",
                        data: "{'shipment':" + JSON.stringify(shipment) + "}",
                        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                        dataType: "json",
                        success: OnSuccess,
                        failure: function (response) {
                            alert(response.d);
                        },
                        error: function (response) {
                            alert(response.d);
                        }
                    })
                    wdwShipmentDetail.Open();
                }
            </script>

The error undefined is from the error: and not from the failure:

Error shows in a few cells only. And if I refresh the page and try it again, the error occurs on the same cells.

At first, I thought, maybe the error occurs on cells with larger data but this doesn't seem to be the case.

The first error occurred at the cell expecting 600,000 shipments.
The cell with 202,000 shipments is fine.
The cell with 157,000 shipments, which is lesser than 202,000, also has an error.
Most cells do not have this error.

This is my first time calling a WebMethod from client-side and my first time working with json so I do not have an idea of what to look for.

Any ideas of what have caused the error and what should I do about it?

I also tried changing alert(response.d) to alert(response) and it showed '[object Object]'

I don't know what it means though.

I googled it some more and found a way to show a more detailed error message.

So I changed my code to this:

error: function (response,status,error) {
   alert(response.responseText + '; ' + error);
}

It shows the error:

Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavascriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property.

I got it working with the suggestion from this site:
