How to send integer value of textbox to [WebMethod] using ajax jQuery

Question

[code page="c#"]
[WebMethod]
public static int bubblesort(int[] arr)
{       
   //some code here

    return arr;
}

 var text; $(document).ready(function() { $("#submit").on("click", function() { text = $("#text1").val(); option = $('#dropdownfilter').val(); bsortedarr(text); }); }); function bsortedarr(text) { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "default.aspx/bubblesort", data: JSON.stringify({ arr: text }), contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", success: function(response) { //code }, error: function(response) { //code } }); } 

I created WebMethod which return sorted list of array using bubblesort. When I select option bsort and give integer as input such as 100,10,1 into textbox. So I am passing that textbox value into ajax call by using stringify({ arr: text}) . I want to pass this text value which is "100,10,1" into WebMethod but it is not happening. So I am trying to split this with ',' and want to return array format list but it is in integer type so not able to return.

Answer 1

You should first define the atxt variable. It will hold the value of the textbox, the code will be something like this:

var atxt = $('TEXTBOX_SELECTOR').val();

After that use this variable to pass value through ajax.

Version 1
Changes in your WebMethod:

• If you want to return an array, change the return type to object
• Split your text then convert your array to a List of int
• If you want to sort the List, simply use Sort() instead of a loop

WebMethod updated:

[WebMethod]
public static object bubblesort(string arr)
{
    // Split then convert to List<int>
    var sra = arr.Split(',').Select(int.Parse).ToList();
    // Sort the List
    sra.Sort();

    return sra;
}

Version 2
If you changed your WebMethod parameter type to int[] , simply sort the array:

text = $("#text1").val();
var pattern = new RegExp(/^[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*$/);
var isNumbers = pattern.test(text.replace(/\s+/g, ''));

Test if input is a list of numbers separated by a comma:

data: JSON.stringify({ arr: text.split(',') })

And split your text :

 data: JSON.stringify({ arr: text.split(',') })
