Hi Cap

Not really sure without seeing it. Have you got all the necessary using statements?

Cheers

Hi Joe,

Thanks for this, it’s just what I’m after. The only problem is I am having trouble compiling.

I’m working in Visual Web Developer 2008 Exp and have .net 3.5 installed. I can compile your sample code but as soon as I try to compile an exact copy of your web method in my code it comes up with around 45 errors all asking for ‘;’s or type expected etc… in and around the web method. Have you any ideas what may be causing it?

Cheers
Cap

Hi Venkat,

The update -
index instead of “$(“#ddlName”).get(0).options.length] ” in the above code
-
returns a different result than the original: “Select name” is replaced.

We can replace
$.each(msg.d, function(index, item) {
$(“#ddlName”).get(0).options[$("#ddlName").get(0).options.length] = new Option(item.Display, item.Value);
});

index instead of “$(“#ddlName”).get(0).options.length] ” in the above code
