PageMethod and URl Rewrite

Question

I am having issue with my pagemethod + url rewrite.

When using regular URL: http://myweb.com/mypages/abc.aspx

call to the PageMethod works fine.

But when i use a friendly URL : http://myweb.com/abc it does work. No error though.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You can set the right path to the aspx file from javascript using the PageMethods.set_path method:

<script type="text/javascript">
   PageMethods.set_path("/mypages/abc.aspx");
</script>

The answer is taken from the official asp.net forum:

fyi the linked to forum post says to use set_path not set_page. set_path worked for me while set_page did not. – Bullshit

Answer 2

There is a slight typo in Roger's answer that set me on a wrong path and took a long time to figure out so here is the correct code sample for everyone else:

Set the path for the pagemethods in the page before calling page methods:

<script>
   PageMethods.set_path("/foo/bar.aspx");
</script>

Yes, you're right! In my case the code worked when I put it into ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript instruction – Lhary
