Chad, I forgot to give you more feedback and credit on this. I definitely figured out where to put this and have been using it at work on a few projects. Big help. If I ever meet you in real life, I’ll buy you a soda! Here’s a little note I made for myself about the whole process (you are credited): http://jcoulson.com/school/forms_auth.html.

This is a great article.

Unfortunately, the source code does not seem to be available.

Is it possible to download it somewhere?

Thank you,

Comment on Creating a Page method (ScriptMethod) within an ASCX user control using AJAX, JSON, base classes and reflection by Chad

I’m glad you figured that out. I was going to take a look at this weekend if I had time but that makes sense. I wrote this post before I started tooling around with jQuery and it’s honestly nerveracking to look back at some of the hideous ASP.NET AJAX stuff I did before wondering how I did anything before using the jQuery framework.

I never tried it on IIS7, there was never a need for it, although if you wanted to ensure your Application pool is using the Legacy/Classic mode instead of the integrated pipeline mode.

I would suggest you skip this workaround all together though and instead block access to the .pdf/content files using your .config file in the new Integrated mode, which IIS will then automatically control security on those files from your web.config without having to code for it.

I don’t suppose you ever got this to work on IIS 7…

Any hints?

Using jQuery to call the pagemethod solved the issue. The jQuery.ajax method includes the option to provide a custom xmlhttprequest, which I did, in order to keep the wanted settings enabling upload progress. I do not know the finer aspects of how jQuerys handles the xmlhttprequest object, but it is more robust than my initial approach.

By the way that only happens in IE, I am using version 9.

I found that the xmlhttprequest should target the page that is hosting the usercontrol and more specifically the pagemethod “PageServiceRequest” webmethod of that page, for example TestPage.aspx/PageServiceRequest.

However this gives me another problem. the xmlhttprequest only works once after building the project. After that I get xmlhttprequest status 401 when calling the pagemethod (only when using xmlhttprequest). Any ideas?

Hi,

Normally a pagemethod can be called with an xmlhttprequest. This can be a benefit, if you for instance want to use a pagemethod to upload a file and you need some events of the xmlhttprequest for monitoring upload progress.

Do you think it would be possible to call this pagemethod as well from javascript using an xmlhttprequest? What would the URL be?
