How to use ajax property of datatable to return data from .net web service

kshipra

Hi,

I want to populate data table from web service using ajax property so data table can still do client side processing.
I am thinking something like this:

$('#example').dataTable( {
"ajax": {
"url": "../.NET webservice",
"type": "POST"
}
} );

1. Can I do this ?

2. Data returned from .NET needs to be an array , is that right ?
   {
   "data": [
   [
   "Tom", "Utah", "Koala", "Kite"],

   ["Bob", "New Mexico", "Kangaroo", "Kite"]
   ] }

Thanks,
Kshipra
