Ajax And Web Reference

hi

is it possible to refer by web service to my ajax control library component AutoCompleteExtender1, if i add asmx page directly to project solution i'm able to give the service path and service method to this component.

i have a separate web service running which is communicating with my SQL Server 2000

so in my solution i added the webservice using add App_WebReferences, sohow to assign my service path and service method to the extender.

thanks in advance.

happy dotnetting.

bye

Hi jags,

It isn't possible to connect to an external webservice. So one solution is. Create a webservice (WebserviceA) within your solution where your website resides. In the code for WebserviceA you make a connection (webreference like you are used to) to WebserviceB (which is outside your domain). Al the requests that are going to webserviceA are passed through to webserviceB which will return the value to webserviceA and webserviceA will return it to your browser. Hope this helps!

Regards,

thanks dennis, i'll be travelling for the next few days.i'll try this and will get back to you at the earliest.

AJAX and 3rd Party Vendor Control Packages

Do any of the 3rd party vendor packages (Infragistics, Component One, etc) play nice with MS AJAX or do they typically have competing, and maybe conflicting, frameworks? I'll be doing my own research, but wanted to ping the community to get some feedback based on experience.

Thanks.

We use the telerik editor, and has worked out good so far with the Atlas CTPs. We haven't done too much with it since it was switched to ASP.NET Ajax. Telerik updated at least every release of Atlas or ASP.NET Ajax, but if you go with them, make sure that you get updates for major releases. We only had them for minor releases, and now it is up one version from what we purchased, so we won't have the release based off of the finished ASP.NET Ajax.
