Hello! I want to display result from database to Jquery DataTable in asp.net . I have web service file 'Employee.asmx' which shows the data but still data is not displaying in DataTable. I am new to Jquery this is what i have tried so far:

Employee.asmx:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
namespace WebApplication13
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Employee
/// </summary>
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class Employee : System.Web.Services.WebService
{

    [WebMethod]
    public void GetEmployee()
    {
        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Ajax;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=sa123");
        List<Employ> employee = new List<Employ>();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spGetEmployees", con);
        cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        con.Open();
        SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
        while (rdr.Read())
        {
            Employ employ = new Employ();
            employ.Id = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["Id"]);
            employ.FirstName = rdr["FirstName"].ToString();
            employ.LastName = rdr["LastName"].ToString();
            employ.Gender = rdr["Gender"].ToString();
            employ.JobTitle = rdr["JobTitle"].ToString();
            employ.WebSite = rdr["WebSite"].ToString();
            employ.Salary = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["Salary"]);
            employee.Add(employ);
        }

        JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        Context.Response.Write(js.Serialize(employee));
    }
}

}

Employ.cs:

namespace WebApplication13
{
public class Employ
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public string JobTitle { get; set; }
public string WebSite { get; set; }
public int Salary { get; set; }

}

}

WebForm1.aspx:

 <script type="text/javascript" >

     $(document).ready(function () {
         $.ajax({
             method: 'post',
             url: 'Employee.asmx/GetEmployee',
             datatype: 'json',
             sucess: function (response) {
             $('#datatable').dataTable({

                     data: response,
                     columns: [

              { 'data': 'Id' },
               { 'data': 'FirstName' },
                { 'data': 'LastName' },
                 { 'data': 'Gender' },
                  { 'data': 'JobTitle' },
                   { 'data': 'WebSite' },
                    { 'data': 'Salary' }

              ]

                 });



             }


         });

     });

</script>

</head>
<body>

<table id="datatable">
 <thead>
 <tr>
 <th> Id </th>
 <th> FirstName </th>
 <th> LastName </th>
 <th> Gender </th>
 <th> JobTitle </th>
 <th> WebSite </th>
<th> Salary </th>
 </tr>
 </thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>

</form>

</body>
</html>

    You are expected to use DataTables' own debugger, through the link Allan has given you.

    I copy that javascript snippet and run it on my browser it showed me error: Data table is not available on this page

  • tangerinetangerine Posts: 3,348Questions: 36Answers: 394

    You are expected to run the debugger from a page which has a DataTable on it.
