Hi, I'm quite new to ASP.Net AJAX so please forgive my ignorance.
I have downloaded and installed the RC1 version and am following through some of the tutorial videos.
I am having a problem with the Dynamic Populate Extender example. I have created some asp controls with onclick events calling a javascript function. From there I am attempting to use a dynamic populate extender control to call a web service - it's a function declared on that ASPX page as the tutorial explains in necessary and decorated with the System.Web.Services.WebMEthod AND System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod attributes.
Everything works as expected until I attempt to pass a parameter to the web services - in fact until I declare the web service function with a parameter. Once I do this, all that is returned to (or at least all that displays in) the control linked to the DynamicPopulateExtender is "Web Service Call Failed: 500".
Can anyone possibly put me on the right track here? (or would I need to post some code examples?)
Thanks in Advance.
Stu.
the tutorial is in beta version.
i will post my code for you
ASPX page

</p>
<br />

This time is dynamically formatted and<br /> returned as HTML from the server:

Thankyou very much for posting this code.
I have worked through the differences between your version of the tutorial and the code I was trying to get running. It all boiled down to the name of the parameter on the web service method. I don't understand this yet but if I call the parameter on my web service method, "contextKey" it works, if I call it anything else, it fails.
Is anyone able to shed some light on this for me?
In the documentation it states that the paramater must be astring namedcontextKey
[WebMethod]string DynamicPopulateMethod(string contextKey) { ... }Note you can replace "DynamicPopulateMethod" with a naming of your choice, but thereturn type and parameter name and type must exactly match, including case.
