Using AJAX/Jquery with custom ASP.NET web controls that call a web-service

Question

I've written a simple ascx user control called myLight that I programtically add several instances of this control to my form. This control has two buttons ON and OFF, and it has an "ID" property

I also have a WCF webservice which has two methods ON and OFF as well as a Status function.

So the page will be setup with several instances of myLight and each instance will have a unique address. When the user clicks an ON/OFF button, the appropriate web-service will be called with the address for the control clicked. However I don't want the entire page to have to reload after each button press, rather just call the web-service.

After I get this part working, I'd like for each control to periodically call the Status function with its address so that it can update the color of the control, depending upon the return value.

I'm looking for suggestions on how to implement this. AJAX server controls, JQuery, etc.

First question, does your WCF service live in the same domain as the web site? — Josh

You're doing it the hard way with WCF. For http web services, use .asmx or Web API. — jrummell

@jrummell - I can't believe you actually just suggested that somebody use .asmx — Josh

Yes the service lives in the same domain... and I am actually using an asmx service for this test application — WhiskerBiscuit

@Josh believe it. It's dead simple compared to http/WCF. Check out the articles I linked to learn more. — jrummell

This is getting me there. The only issue I have at this point is that the user controls are all referring to the same javascript.
