Converting jquery + c# webservice to use GET instead of POST

I have a web-service which works fine using POST when communicating with it using ajax:

Client-side:

...
$.ajax({
    url: 'webservice.asmx/GetCount',
    type: 'POST',
    data: '{"theDate": "' + strDate + '"}',
...

Server-side:

...
[WebMethod()]
public double GetCount(string theDate)
{
...

How would I go about converting these so they make use of GET instead of POST?

I've tried changing the client-side part to type: 'GET', but that gave an error so I am assuming I need to make some changes to the server-side part too?

You'll need to add [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet=true)] to your webmethod

Client-side:

...
$.ajax({
    url: 'webservice.asmx/GetCount',
    type: 'GET',
    data: '{"theDate": "' + strDate + '"}',
...

Server-side:

...
[WebMethod()]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet=true)]
public double GetCount(string theDate)
{
...

Try adding the following attribute to the method in question. I believe this should work:

[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet=true)]
