Hi, I have AJAX v 1.0.61025.0 token 31bf3856ad364e35, XP, VS 2005 Team Systems:

I have this AJAX call:

requestComplexService = MyWebServiceManager.MyMethodCall (params[], myMethod_OnComplete, myMethod_OnTimeout);

That AJAX call returns a collection of custom objects, and runs fine most of the time - but when "params[]" contain certain values, the call fails, which executes the "myMethod_OnTimeout(errObj)" function.

I have stepped through my C# web service code using VS2005 and there is no error in the web service itself (the collection of custom objects is successfully built and should return to the "myMethod_OnComplete" function).

In the "method_OnTimeout" function, I know typeof(errObj) = "object" but I have no idea what the API is for "errObj" object.

Can someone tell me where I can find the object model for that response object ("errObj")?  (hoping this object contains useful info).

Also while on the subject, does anyone have best practice suggestions for debugging this type of AJAX call (best way to figure out why I'm hitting OnTimeout instead of OnComplete)?

Thanks,

Ray

The Complete Signature Looks Like the Following:

SimpleService.SimpleMethod(Your Params in Comma Separated,
                                           function(result) // Success Handler, Optional
                                           {
                                           },
                                           function(exception) // Error Handler, Optional
                                           {
                                           },
                                           userContext// Context data
                                           );

There is no OnTimout in the Current Version. In the ErrorHandler you will find the following properties:
exception.get_exceptionType() - > Type of exception
exception.get_message() -> Error Message
exception.get_stacktrace() -> Returns the stacktrace of the server
exception.get_Timeout() -> Returns true if the call timeouts

FYI The exception object in the OnErro callback is not a generic javascript Error object instead it is a special class called WebServiceError.

There is a basic tutorial in online doc http://www.asp.net/AJAX/Documentation/Live/tutorials/ConsumingWebServicesWithAJAXTutorial.aspx check the Handling Errors in Web Service Method Calls.

Awesome Kazi, thank you!

That's just what I was looking for.

Now I know my error is "Maximum length exceeded"
