从.asmx升级到razor中的WCF

Question

So I have been calling a method from ac# class from Razor using a .asmx file, and I have learned that .asmx is deprecated. I'm trying to figure out what to replace this method with. Here's what I'm doing now:

The C# program (GetConstantContactData.cs) looks like this:

using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;




/// <summary>
/// Summary description for GetConstantContactData
/// </summary>
[WebService(Namespace = "https://[myurl].org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
// 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 GetConstantContactData : System.Web.Services.WebService {


 public string GetResponse()
    {
      //Get data from Constant Contact and return it as a JSON string
    }

The .asmx file (GetConstantContactData.asmx) looks like this:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/GetConstantContactData.cs" Class="GetConstantContactData" %>

And the Javascript ajax calls the .asmx file like this:

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "../GetConstantContactData.asmx/GetResponse",
data: "{}",
success: SucceededCallback,
error: FailedCallback,
dataType: "json"
})
// Callback function that
// processes the service return value.
function SucceededCallback(result) {
     //do stuff with the data
}

It works now, but as I said I know this method is deprecated, and doesn't work in .NET 4. As I understand it I want to do this through WCF using a ServiceHost. I see how to do this using a ScriptManager here , but I want to know how to do it using Razor.

I've been searching the web for any kind of tutorial or guide on this. Just a link to the correct place to tell me how to do this would be great. Thank you.

Brent Mannering's suggestion of the WebAPI endpoint above was the best answer to this problem. It doesn't use WCF, but the Web API is a more useful lightweight solution to this problem that matches with what I was originally doing with the .asmx Webservice framework, and which is not deprecated.
