AjaxRemoteService Class

The Ajax-based remote service used to communicate with the server side.

Declaration

export class AjaxRemoteService implements IRemoteService<JQueryXHR>

Remarks

The Ajax remote service is a IRemoteService<TResponse> implementation that exchanges information between client and server sides. You can get different information from a server (data sources, export information, a dashboard model), obtain a dashboard request time, pass custom HTTP headers, and more.

Refer to the AjaxRemoteServiceOptions class for Ajax remote service options.

You can use Web Forms, MVC, and ASP.NET Core dashboard applications as a client for a server part. See the following topic to learn more: DashboardBackendOptions.

Remarks

Note

The client-side dashboard control uses form.submit to export the entire dashboard or a dashboard item. This approach doesn’t allow the application to send HTTP headers from client to server side. In this case, the dashboard control adds the <input type="hidden"> element to the form for each HTTP header from the headers collection. The hidden input element has the same ID as the HTTP header’s name. The header value is sent to the server side as the value of the corresponding field. You can use the HttpRequest.Form collection to access the hidden fields’ values on the server side.
