How do I open a popup message from C# in my javascriptAPP?

At the moment I am working on an APP. I am trying to find out why the methods from my webservices are not working but because I'm working with javascript in the app developer I am not able to debug my C# (Cordova and visual studio). Is there a way for me to write popups in the C# code so I can still see the values of my objects and properies?
So:
I want to be able to force a popup from C# while running the javascript APP because I can not debug my C# code since it's only a webservice.

Update:
This would be the normal way, C# is server-side and JavaScript is client-side. Inside of the web-method your C# should generate something like:
JavaScript serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var response = serializer.Serialize(jsonObject);
Response.Write(response);
Response.End();
That would basically allow you to receive an object or collection back into the Ajax success or error for instance.
Since your utilizing a JavaScript Application, I'm under the notion that you're calling the service via Ajax. Your Ajax request will contain a success and error. These will allow you to return data from your Ajax.
// Sample:
$.ajax({
url: '...',
type: '...',
data: { Model : jsonObject },
success: function (response) {
// Response would be your C# Success.
},
error: function (response) {
// Response would be your C# Error.
}
});
The web-service should be serializing the response back for your web-service.
Our assistance will be minimal without seeing how you call the web-service, how the web-service responds, hopefully this helps you though.

Data at the root level is invalid on $.ajax call

I have a simple web service that I am trying to utilize. Obviously, this will be more enahnced down the road but am trying to grasp the basic concept of the ajax call.
Web Service
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
namespace Tools
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for CFServices1
/// </summary>
[WebService(Namespace = "http://localhost:51342/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
// [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class CFServices1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld()
{
return "Hellow World";
}
}
}
JavaScript
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "CFServices.asmx?/HelloWorld",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function (response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
The ajax call appears to work fine as it returns an error:
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><soap:Code><soap:Value>soap:Receiver</soap:Value></soap:Code><soap:Reason><soap:Text xml:lang="en">System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid.

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---</soap:Text></soap:Reason><soap:Detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>"
I have tried a couple different things that lead me down the path of the URL property being invalid but since I'm getting an actual response, I'm assuming it's correct. It definitely renders if I navigate to it through a browser. Even if I try and invoke the web service through the asmx page, it all works.
I have tried changing the data type to be plain text but that doesn't work either. Since all the web method does is reutnr the string 'Hellow World', I shouldn't need to pass any arguments but tried passing blank values just in case. Everything either brings me back to the response returning 'undefined', the html markup for the asmx page or this. The 'data at the root element is invalid.' This tells me that either the data being sent to, or recieved from the web service is incorrect or doesn't have the right formatting. This is where I'm getting hung up at because I can't figure out what could possibly be wrong here.
Although this is something probably simple, I'm not finding any luck whatsoever on SOF or other threads. Any helpful insight is greatly appreciated.

As we are calling it from jquery ie., from script part you need to make the below changes to Webservice part,
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService] // Mark it for accessing from script
public class CFServices1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
We need to set script method attribute for the web method as below
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod]
public string HelloWorld()
Then while calling it from ajax call just remove ? in url part as below,
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "CFServices.asmx/HelloWorld",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function (response) {
console.log(response);
}});
Hope it helps.

I had everything thilsiva suggested but was still receiving this error. It worked on my local development machine but not when deployed. The problem was I was getting my URL from the config file and I was accidentally missing the method name in my deployed version. So make sure you have the method name included if you're in the same situation.
url: "CFServices.asmx/HelloWorld",
not
url: "CFServices.asmx",

WebMethod not working in ASP.Net Web Role (Web Forms)?

Repro:
Open VS2013, File > New "Azure Cloud Service" Project > Add an "ASP.NET Web Role" (named as WebRole1)
Select "Web Forms" template for the web role.
Add jquery-1.11.1.min.js and a new WebForm1.aspx to the WebRole1 Project.
Add the following code to the of WebForm1.aspx
<script src="jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "WebForm1.aspx/Foo",
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/json; charset=utf-8");
},
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: "{a: 'webmethod!'}",
success: function(data) {
alert(data.d);
},
error: function() {
alert("error");
}
});
});
Add the following function to the WebForm1 class in WebForm1.aspx.cs
[WebMethod()]
public static string Foo(string a)
{
return a;
}
Set WebRole1 project as Startup Project and run. The browser alerts "undefined".
But you can get "webmethod!" using plain ASP.NET WebForm project. What is wrong?
I noticed that in url: "WebForm1.aspx/Foo": if you change the aspx part, the ajax fails; if you change the Foo part to whatever value, the ajax always succeed. This is unusual! In plain ASP.NET Web Form application, changing either part will result in "error"!
If you create an Empty ASP.NET Web Role, the ajax will succeed!!! What is going on?

JavaScriptSerializer is pretty flexible, but it might be worth trying valid JSON in the data parameter, like:
data: '{"a": "webmethod!"}'
I believe JSS will handle keys/values in single quotes, even though that's not technically valid JSON, but the unquoted a might be a bit much.

ASP.Net web service always return XML not JSON

Currenly i use asp.net web service but when i call web service method by ajax call it always return XML not json
i try
ASP.Net web service won't return JSON - Always XML
but its also not work for me..
JS :-
$.ajax({
type: "Post",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "http://www.quietincomes.com/LoginWebservice.asmx/Demo",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function (data) {
alert("1" + data);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("2" + JSON.stringify(result));
}
});
LoginWebservice.asmx :-
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public string Demo()
{
return "Harshit";
}
where i am wrong..
jsfiddle Example:-
http://jsfiddle.net/EXvqc/

First you have to use Post method to send a request to your web service. And as you have used JSONP as it always looks for the callbacks, and you have to define callback methods for it.
Please Refer
And the other thing you have to add like following
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
// [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class LoginWebservice : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public string Demo()
{
return "Harshit";
}
}
Indicates that a Web service can be invoked from script. This class cannot be inherited.
Your aspx/HTML will contain
$.ajax({
type: "Post",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "http://www.quietincomes.com/LoginWebservice.asmx/Demo",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert("1" + data);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("2" + JSON.stringify(result));
}
});
See output below

JSONP is not JSON, JSONP is used to get over the same origin policy (site A cannot make ajax request to site B). To solve this problem site A will create a script tag:
document.createElement("script")
Then set it's source to site B, usually specifying a callback like www.B?callback=callMe
A typical response of site B would be:
callMe({siteBSays:"hello"});
JQuery hides creating the javascript element for you so it looks like a normal ajax request. Make sure site B has the right response type headers I think it's text/javascript
Another way to do cross domain requests is that site B has a response header that allows site A making ajax requests to it (cors) by setting a response header Access-Control-Allow-Origin

Consuming web service in HTML

I have created a web service and saved its .wsdl file. I want to consume this service in my HTML file by providing its URL.
Can anybody tell me how to call the URL in HTML and use it?
Like its done here.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14610/Calling-Web-Services-from-HTML-Pages-using-JavaScr/
The only difference is my web service does not have an extention like "asmx?wsdl".
Does that makes any difference.
I followed that tutorial too but it does not produce any output.
Thank You////

You definitly should get familiar with AJAX.
You could use the ajax functionalities provided by jQuery. That's the easiest way, I assume. Take a look at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
You can use this like
$.ajax({
url: "urltoyourservice.xml"
dataType: "xml",
}).done(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
HTML itself cannot consume a webservice. Javascript ist definitely needed.
The existence of your WSDL File looks like you are probably using a XML format as the return of the web service. You have to deal with XML in javascript. Therefore take a look at Tim Downs explanation.
But keep in mind, that your web service URL must be available under the same domain as your consumption HTML-File. Otherwise you'll receive a cross-site-scripting error.

yes you can use ajax but keep in mind you wont be able to make a request across domains. Consuming web services should be done in server side.
To further gain more knowledge about this, read How do I call a web service from javascript

function submit_form(){
var username=$("#username").val();
var password=$("#password").val();
var data = { loginName: username, password:password };
$.ajax( {
type: "POST",
url:"Paste ur service address here",
data: JSON.stringify(data),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
async: false,
success: function(data){
var value = data.d;
if(value.UserID != 0){
alert.html('success');
}
},
error: function (e) {
}
});
}
Try this it will help
