ASP.NET Website - How to construct a Web Service for a Web Forms Website

I have an ASP.NET Web Forms Website that is running .NET 4.0. I have a simple search page that I want to pass filter criteria to a web service that will return JSON to the page. I will ideally be executing a GET request from jQuery to the web service.

Using ASP.NET MVC, it is pretty straight forward to create a controller action that returns JSON, however, I have no idea no how to do this in a ASP.NET Web Forms Website. How do I do create a web service in ASP.NET Web forms that returns JSON that I can simply call via AJAX?

Just give me the JSON!

Thanks,
