So I have an asp.net 2.0 web application and I created a web service to post some data from a web form to a database. I now want to use jQuery/AJAX to post the data to the server but since the application is 2.0 and not 3.5+ I don't have the System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService namespace which seems to be needed (I am posting JSON objects)?
Is there a workaround for this (without upgrading the web application to 3.5)?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT I installed http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca9d90fa-e8c9-42e3-aa19-08e2c027f5d6&displaylang=en and restared VS2010 but can still not use the namespace.

Yes, you can do this without 3.5. First, install Microsoft's AJAX Extensions (aka ASP.NET AJAX 1.0).
Next, you need to add an HttpModule
to your web.config (or machine.config; your hosting provider may already have this configured):
<httpModules>
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
</httpModules>

There is a comprehensive solution for this. (Available under .Net framework 2.0+ and Mono)
PokeIn gives you an enhanced JSON functionality to makes your server side objects available in client side. Simply, it is a Reverse Ajax library which makes it easy to call JavaScript functions from C#/VB.NET and to call C#/VB.NET functions from JavaScript. It has numerous features like event ordering, resource management, exception handling, marshaling, Ajax upload control, mono compatibility, WCF & .NET Remoting integration and scalable server push.

Use Ajax. And include in your project the JSON.NET free library for JSON Serialization/Deserialization for the server side code.
For the client side just use JSON in javascript
