Ajax call with WebMethod is not returning the response

Question

I have a simple code to update the database with simple Ajax call using WebMethod but its not updating in the database.

HTML Markup

<a href="#" class="newProject" id ="<%= item2 %>"><i class="fa fa-file"></i> <%= item2 %></a>

Client Side Method:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(".newProject").on("click", function () {
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "index.aspx/UpdateCode",
                data: 'engCode=' + this.id,
                success: function (response) {
                    // window.location.reload();
                    alert(response);
                }
            });
            return false;
        });

</script>

Server side method:

     [WebMethod]
    public static int UpdateCode(string Code)
    {

        using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr))
        {
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Codes"))
            {
                int intresult = 0;
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.Add("@Mode", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = "UpdateCodes";
                cmd.Parameters.Add("@Code", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = Code;

                cmd.Connection = con;
                try
                {
                    con.Open();

                    intresult = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                }
                catch (SqlException ex)
                {
                    ex.ToString();
                }
                finally
                {
                    cmd.Dispose();
                    if (con != null)
                    {
                        con.Close();
                    }
                }
                return intresult;
            }
        }
    }

Its posting the right value on click event of hyperlink but not updating the database.

Did you debug to confirm `using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr))` is getting the connection successfully? Also check whether the exception is not occurred. — Nagaraj Tantri, Jun 10 '15 at 02:16
So add an error handler and see what the error is. Or look at the request in the network panel in the console. — epascarello, Jun 10 '15 at 02:20

ASP.NET WebMethods do only work with JSON as the data format:

In your Ajax call, you need to add

dataType: "json",

and also supply the data as JSON:

data: {"engCode":this.id},

you are not passing data in correct formate. try this

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(".newProject").on("click", function () {
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "index.aspx/UpdateCode",
                data: {Code: this.id}
                success: function (response) {
                    // window.location.reload();
                    alert(response);
                }
            });
            return false;
        });

</script>
