I have created a Handler which return integer value after doing some database work. i would like to know how can i get that value and assign that value to Label by calling that handler.
I have googled it and most of the example uses Jquery.AJAX calls to retrieve the value. I am sure i can also get the value by using that. BUT for some limitation in my company i am restricted to use code behind.
Any example will help.
Handler: http://somesite.com/Stores/GetOrderCount.ashx?sCode=VIC
which returns: 3
need to assign this to a label control
i have tried this much so far.
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("http://somesite.com/Stores/GetOrderCount.ashx?sCode=VIC");
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Label1.Text = response.ToString() // this does not work
WebClient client = new WebClient ();
Label1.Text = client.DownloadString ("http://somesite.com/Stores/GetOrderCount.ashx?sCode=VIC");
You could also directly call your handler using ajax and update the label.
Here is a jQuery example:
$.get('Stores/GetOrderCount.ashx?sCode=VIC', function(data) {
$('.result').html(data);
});
