Thanks very much for clearing this up. It took a couple of days for me to track down why our jQuery.ajax calls had gone bad when we upgraded so it’s really nice to get the full story behind why this came about. You definitely rock! :-)

This worked for me.

Thanks you very for your help.

I will try to pass this message from my site,so to avoid this pitfall.

Thanks Again.

You can return that List directly and ASP.NET will handle the serialization for you. For example, if those items are of type BudgetStatus, then this server-side code is what you should use:

public static List<BudgetStatus> getData(int AreaID) {
  // Build your list however you were before.
  var result = getBudgetDataByArea(AreaID);
 
  // But then just return it directly.
  // ASP.NET will handle the JSON for you.
  return result;
}

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the above but still it says undefined.

but if say

alert(data.d[0]);

then it returns the first square bracket.

Is this because i am getting the object data from code behind using

JavaScriptSerializer javaScriptSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer(); return javaScriptSerializer.Serialize(list);

?

       $(function() {
           var areaId = 42;
           $.ajax({
 
               type: "POST",
               url: "Data.aspx/getData",
               contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
               dataType: "json",
               success: function(data) {
 
                   alert(data.d.id);
 
               }
           });
       });

Says undefined in the alert box.

My json data

[{"id":"1","description":"Budget Load Started"},
{"id":"2","description":"Budget Load Completed"}]

Any help will be much appreciated.
