  • You might just use WebServices and AJAX calls... – Yves M. Oct 26 '10 at 07:22

Yes, you could use PageMethods.

  • Thanks @Darin. This looks like the way too go. I have one issue though, i'm getting a javascript error stating that PageMethods is not recognised. Could you think of something I am doing wrong? – Yo Momma Oct 26 '10 at 07:48

You cannot call server-side code ‘directly’ from client-side code. That is because by design, the server side code executes at server side and client side code at the client. However there are some workarounds. To call serverside code from javascript, you will need to use AJAX, and the easiest way out, is to use the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions.
