How to get JSON response from a 3.5 asmx web service

by

I faced the same issue, and included the below code to get it work.

[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet=true ,ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public void HelloWorld()
{
    Context.Response.Clear();
    Context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
    Context.Response.Write("Hello World");
    //return "Hello World";
}

Update:

To get a pure json format, you can use javascript serializer like below. 

public class WebService1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    [WebMethod]
    [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet=true ,ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
    public void HelloWorld()
    {
        JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        Context.Response.Clear();
        Context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";           
        HelloWorldData data = new HelloWorldData();
        data.Message = "HelloWorld";
        Context.Response.Write(js.Serialize(data));


    }
}

public class HelloWorldData
{
   public String Message;
}

However this works for complex types, but string does not show any difference.
