asp.net call WebMethod from Javascript asyncronous

Question

I am trying to build an asp.net(c#) page that updates some state texts every second. Now I have implemented an button that calls another PageMethod which restarts something

Answer 1

you should call the page methods using an Async call instead.

have a look at the below. It is a generic way to call a page method using JQuery

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "PageName.aspx/MethodName",
  data: "{}",
  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  dataType: "json",
  success: function(msg) {
    // Do something interesting here.
  }
});

you should use this code to replace the page method calls

PageMethods.Restart(function (text))

PageMethods.Update(function (text))
