Question

Web method code is :

    [System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
    public static int ItemCount(string itemId)
    {
        int val = 0;

            Item itm = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(itemId);
            val = itm.Children.Count;

        return val;
    }

java script function calling like as:

    function GetItemCount(itemId) {
    var funRes = "";
    debugger;
    try {
    if (itemId != null) {
        jQuery.ajax({
            cache: false,
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            url: "/Views/GetItem.aspx/ItemCount",
            data: { itemId: itemId },
            dataType: "json",
            async: false,
            success: function (data) {
                funRes = data.result;
            },
            error: function(err) {
                alert(err.responseText);
            }
        });
    }
  } catch (ex) {
    alert(ex.message);
  }
  return funRes;}

while i'm giving exact path for the C# method class but it's not working give an error on console, can anyone suggest me what i'm missing here..

There are few rules for ajax to work with asp.net.

• Your WebMethod should be public and static .
• If your WebMethod expects some parameter(s) than these parameter(s) must be passed as data in ajax.
• Name of parameter(s) should be same in WebMethod and in data part of ajax.
• Data passed from ajax should be in json string .For this you can use JSON.stringify or you will have to surround the values of parameter(s) in quotes .

Please check the below sample ajax call

function CallAjax()
    {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            url: "Default.aspx/CallAjax",
            data: JSON.stringify({ name: "Mairaj", value: "12" }),
            dataType: "json",
            async: false,
            success: function (data) {
                //your code

            },
            error: function (err) {
                alert(err.responseText);
            }

        });
    }



[WebMethod]
public static List<string> CallAjax(string name,int value)
{
    List<string> list = new List<string>();
    try
    {
        list.Add("Mairaj");
        list.Add("Ahmad");
        list.Add("Minhas");
    }

    catch (Exception ex)
    {

    }

    return list;
}

EDIT

If you use GET in ajax than you need to enable your webmethod to be called from GET request. Add [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)] on top of WebMetod

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)]
public static int ItemCount()

Just Modify the javascript function as below

  function GetItemCount(itemId) {
    var funRes = "";
   debugger;
   try {
    if (itemId != null) {
        jQuery.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "/Views/GetItem.aspx",
            data: 'itemID=' + itemId,
            contentType: "application/html",
            dataType: "html",
            success: function (response) {
                funRes= response.result;
            }
        });
     }
  } catch (ex) {
    alert(ex.message);
  }
  return funRes;
}
