How to call ASMX webservice from MVC view?

Question

Following are the WebService method i am trying to consume-:

    [WebMethod]
    public string HelloWorld()
    {
        return "Hello World";
    }

using ajax call for calling this method

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/WebServices/WebService1.asmx/HelloWorld",
    data: "{}",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    success: function (msg) {
        var data = msg.d;
    },
    error: function (msg) {
        alert(msg.responseText);
    }
});

But everytime i am getting error of resource not found might be because i am calling it from MVC view, i also tried to put whole localhost path http://localhost:60005/ still got the error of resource not found, could someone give me a small example of calling asmx webservice from MVC view?

Try with adding this line to your RouteConfig:

routes.IgnoreRoute("{*x}", new { x = @".*\.asmx(/.*)?" });

also, uncomment this line in your asmx web service class:

[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
