This post gave me the syntax I was looking for.

$.ajax({ url: myUrl, data: JSON.stringify({ stuff: stuffData }),type: ‘POST’,dataType: ‘json’, contentType: ‘application/json; charset=utf-8′,success: function () { alert(‘Im back!’); } });

I could use alternative options like the Status property to catch 200 as success …. but as it turns out, removing the (redundant) “dataType: ‘json’” property fixed the problem and my success function kicked back in.

StackOverflow post on the subject

Problem: When selecting either link from the application root menu, only the first page I requested worked properly and ran scripts populating a list on the page. When pressing “back” and then pressing the other link (not pressed in my first attempt) the resulting page is displayed, but the page list is not populated (..without pressing browser refresh).

Solution: Making sure div elements hosting script results have unique names across the application.

Seems like that did the trick and now I am blaming Visual Studio 2010 (with .net 4.0) for the installation problems.

This being a completely blurry blog entry, I will provide logs and what the exact error is if anybody asks.

gridPlayers.addJSONData(jsonStr );

But I was left stranded with this message:

[mygrid] ...has no method 'addJSONData'

Using this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/545714/jqgrid-addjsondata-asp-net-2-0-ws I realized that the data source is actually an array and some kind of wrapping is needed for the Json data so:


var jsonObject = eval('(' + jsonStr + ')');
gridPlayers[0].addJSONData(jsonObject);

works

After scanning google and the Dell support website, I finally stumbled acrross this post.

var t = DB.Tournament.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == idTournament);
var g = DB.Golfer.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == idGolfer);
t.Golfer.Attach(g);
t.Golfer.Remove(g);
DB.SaveChanges();

This Stack Overflow post fixed this issuse for me.

Unable to update the EntitySet 'Player' because it has a DefiningQuery and no element exists in the element to support the current operation.

Turns out that Entity Framework treats tables that are created without an explicit primary key, as views, and therefore does not generate an update function.   As usual, a StackOverFlow post quickly put my mind on track.
