JSON won't execute a command. It is merely a way of storing data in a text-based form easily readable for developers. You will need to create a WebMethod if you want to use JSON to store the values of the DropDown s or return the data into DropDown s. The following code shows how to create a Web Service and use JSON in order to return results from the database. You would use the DataContractJsonSerializer class to also read JSON . This example came from Using JSON with ASP.NET 3.5

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
[ServiceContract(Namespace = "")]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class ProductService
{   
 [OperationContract]    
 public string GetProductDetailsByProductID(int productID)
 {
   Product prod = new Product();        
   string connectionString = 
     "server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=thiru;database=AdventureWorks;";
   using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
   {
     string sql = "Select Name, ProductNumber from Production.Product " +
       " Where ProductID = " + productID.ToString();
     connection.Open();
     SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sql, connection); 
     SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
     while (reader.Read())
     {
       prod.Name = reader["Name"].ToString();
       prod.ProductNumber = reader["ProductNumber"].ToString();
       prod.ProductID = productID;
     }
    }
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new 
      DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Product));
    serializer.WriteObject(stream, prod);
    stream.Position = 0;
    StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream);
    return streamReader.ReadToEnd();        
  } 
}
[DataContract]
public class Product
{
    [DataMember]
    public int ProductID;
    [DataMember]
    public string Name;
    [DataMember]
    public string ProductNumber;
}
