PageMethods

I am using visual Studio 2013, but I am using the original book Beginning Asp.NET 4 I was trying to get the Page Methods example to work but I keep getting a PageMethods is undefined error. I do have EnablePageMethods = "true" set in the script manager. I noticed you dropped the section on Page Methods in your newer book by looking at the table of contents is this because Page Methods has been dropped by VS or am I missing something else? Thanks in advance Happy

Hi there,

Are you using friendly URLs? They break page methods so that may be the cause of the issues.

Cheers,

How would I check to see if I am using friendly URL's, and how do I disable friendly URL's if I am?

Take a look at your packages.config file as it may contain a reference to the friendly URLs package.

I would look into alternatives to page methods such as the Ajax enabled wcf services or web API though.

Cheers,

Thanks Imar I will do just that. I will add that I love your book I still find it the best book to get up and running quickly for fist timers. Thanks again!
