Server-Side processing with C# ASP.NET and WebMethods

FACUCBA86

Hi ! I´m currently working in a project utilizing C# ASP.NET and WebMethods for binding data controls such as dropdownlists, lists, etc.

We´re planning on implementing paging to improve server performance in specific windows of time where data traffic is huge (government processing students' data from thousands of schools).

I was wondering if DataTables support (or if there´s any examples) filling its datasource through a C# WebMethod specifically (in our project we´re using Json ajax calls to WebMethods to fill controls' datasources). In that case, I´m guessing we´ll lose the "Search" functionality that dataTables already offers while using Server-Side processing ?

The only practical example I found in this website was written in php (the server side script which is what I need).

Thanks a ton in advance for any help that can be provided !
