Callback data asynchronous / synchronous   The new AJAXPage ASP.NET control can make a callback with data to the server in two ways: - synchronously - asynchronously synchronous callback · sequential/serial · call the post method using two arguments · the client waits for the server response before continuing · your script may hang and block your page in case of server error · See also how to callback data synchronously. asynchronous callback · non-sequential/paralel · call the post method using three arguments · the client sends the request to server and continues its execution · you avoid your script hanging and blocking the page in case of server error · See also how to callback data asynchronously.

Callback data synchronously If you are sending the data synchronously, the script stops until it receives an answer from the server. If you need to execute the callback and process the response sequentially, then this is the approach you need. The syntax is: ob_post.post("ProcessPage.aspx", "myServerMethod"); where ProcessPage.aspx is the file on server where data will be called back and processed (use null to send data to the same page), themyServerMethod is the public server-side method called. Please check the synchronous example to see how this method works.

Callback data asynchronously If you are sending the data asynchronously, the script continues to run while it waits for an answer from the server. If you are sending a large amount of data, or if the time required for processing the data is pretty long, then the best way to deal with this is by making a callback with the data asynchronously. After you make a callback with the data you can continue working on your page. When the callback is done, it automatically calls the function you specified. This function is a client-side function and it must be implemented in your file. If something happens while sending/receiving data from your server (such as a bad network connection), you avoid your script hanging and blocking the page. The syntax is: ob_post.post(null, "myServerMethod", myFunction); where ProcessPage.aspx is the file on server where data will be called back and processed (use null to send data to the same page), themyServerMethod is the public server-side method to be called and myFunction is the client-side function called when the callback is done. Please check the asynchronous example to see how this method works.
