Return JSONP in proper format WCF

Question

I\'m trying to output a correctly wrapped JSONP value for jQuery to consume.

The output I\'m looking for is:

jsoncallback({\"Status\": \"OK\"})

You need to eval the output from your WCF call. See this fiddle.

You're getting a string back from your WCF call. You essentially need to compile it and then execute it.

Here's the code from the fiddle:

function jsonCallback(obj){
    alert(obj.Status);
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    var js = "jsonCallback({'Status':'OK'})";
    eval(js);
});​

The js variable is your output from the WCF call. As soon as I eval it, it will compile and execute.
