Features of WebMethod and ScriptMethod in.NET Webforms

In Web forms, .Net applications to call the client side scripts like javascript and Jquery web calls are handled by using WebMethod and ScriptMethod Attributes. The shared function keyword from server-side pages is used in this technique. The function will send a post and receive a request on that, as indicated by the Shared keyword and WebMethod property that WebService exposes. The same kind of online technique will be utilized for sharing data in JSON format. Below is an example of the code.

Server End code

Public Class WebCall
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    <WebMethod()>
    <ScriptMethod()>
    Public Shared Function GetServerTime() As String
        Return DateTime.Now.ToString()
    End Function

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        ' No server-side logic needed for this example.
    End Sub
End Class

From the client end, an OnClick event will be sent a request for getting a server date & timely response. The client-side code example is below.

<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server"><main>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function callWebMethod() {
            alert("callweb");
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "WebCall.aspx/GetServerTime",
                data: "{}",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType: "json",
                success: function (msg) {
                    alert(msg.d);
                    $("#lblTime").text(msg.d);
                },
                error: function (xhr, status, error) {
                    alert("Error: " + xhr.responseText);
                }
            });
        }
    </script>
    <div>

  <button type="button" onclick="callWebMethod()">Get current server time</button><p id="btnGetTime"></p>
          <label id="lblTime" Text=""></label>
    </div>
    </main>
</asp:Content>
