Extender web service method is called differently

For a reason i do not understand, i have a web service which the the signature corresponds to what it is supposed to be (I see the signature everywhere) and this extender calls a completly different web method signature...

The extender is the cascading drop down list extender, it is supposed to call :

Public

Function GetDropDownContents(ByVal knownCategoryValuesAsString,ByVal categoryAsString)As AjaxControlToolkit.CascadingDropDownNameValue()

But instead it calls :

Public

Function GetDropDownContents()As AjaxControlToolkit.CascadingDropDownNameValue()

What this does is that it prevents me from knowing what values where already selected. Usually, this could be done by parsing the knownCategoryValues but since i don't get this param anymore, i'm a bit clueless at how to do this.

Can anyone help me understand this problem?

Hi,

I think ASP.NET AJAX will actually fail if it can't find a matching signature (this includes correctly cased parameter names). I'm guessing something else is the culprit here. You might want to take a look at your CascadingDropDown declaration to make sure it's calling the web service you're expecting (and when in doubt, compare against the sample website).

Thanks,
Ted
The problem is not the source or the function being called cause if you read what i said again, it is triggering something in the right web service, it's just not triggering the right function... and to fix the error 500 i had earlier i have to create a parameter less web method which is completly useless in this case...
