Accessing Server-Side Data from Client Script: Using WCF Services with jQuery and the ASP.NET Ajax

websites commonly exchange information between the browser and the web server using Ajax techniques - the browser executes JavaScript code typically in response to the page loading or some user action. This JavaScript makes an asynchronous request to the server. which then processes the request and, perhaps, returns data that the browser can then seamlessly integrate into the web page. Two earlier articles - <a JSON Data From an ASP.NET Page Using jQuery</a> and <a Ajax Web Services, Script References, and jQuery</a>, looked at using both <a and the <a Ajax Library</a> on the browser to initiate an Ajax request and both ASP.NET pages and Ajax Web Services as the entities on the web server responsible for servicing such Ajax requests. </p><p> This article continues our examination of techniques for implementing lightweight Ajax scenarios in an ASP.NET website. Specifically, it examines how to use the <a Communication Foundation</a>, or WCF, to server data from the web server and how to use both the ASP.NET Ajax Library and jQuery to consume such services from the client-side.
