I am using a Jquery Token Input plugin. I have tried to fetch the data from the database instead of local data. My web service returns the json result is wrapped in xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">[{"id":"24560","name":"emPOWERed-Admin"},{"id":"24561","name":"emPOWERed-HYD-Visitors"}]</string>
I have checked in the site http://loopj.com/jquery-tokeninput/ which says that the script should output JSON search results in the following format:
[
{"id":"856","name":"House"},
{"id":"1035","name":"Desperate Housewives"}
]
Both seems to be the same,but still i m not getting the items displayed in my page.
I am posting my code also. My Js code: DisplayTokenInput.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#textboxid").tokenInput('PrivateSpace.asmx/GetDl_info', {
hintText: "Type in DL Name", theme: "facebook",
preventDuplicates: true,
searchDelay: 200
});
});
My web-service code:
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public string GetDl_info(string q)
{
string dl_input = string.Empty;
DataSet ds;
PSData ObjDl = new PSData();
ds = ObjDl.GetDistributionList(q);
List<DistributionList> DLObj = new List<DistributionList>();
foreach (DataRow datarow in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
DistributionList dl_list = new DistributionList();
dl_list.id = Convert.ToString(datarow["id"]);
dl_list.name = Convert.ToString(datarow["name"]);
DLObj.Add(dl_list);
}
dl_input = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(DLObj);
return dl_input;
}
}
public class DistributionList
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
I am posting the head portion of aspx code to show the library files i have included:
