jQuery call to asp.net web method is not working

I have a asp.net web method like following

[WebMethod]
public string getDate() 
{
   return DateTime.Now.ToString();
}

And my jQuery ajax call is following

$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "jqueryAjax/Default.aspx/getDate",
   data: "{}",
   contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
   dataType: "json",
   error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) 
   {
      alert(errorThrown+"what's wrong?"+XMLHttpRequest);
   },
   success: function (msg) 
   {
      alert(msg);
      // Do something interesting here.
   }
});

For some reason my jQuery ajax error handler is getting called. success method is not calling.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Solution

  • your web method should be static

    [WebMethod]
public static string getDate() 
{
   return DateTime.Now.ToString();
}
