json data not binding to grid.

[Jeremy]

My grid that is bound to json data is not displaying the data. Here is my code.

<script>
        var remoteDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource(
   {
       transport:
       {
           read: {
               type: "get",
               dataType: "json",
               url: "http://localhost:50411/EmployeeService.asmx/GetData",
               contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
           }
       },
       pageSize: 4
   })
        $("#grid").kendoGrid(
            {
                dataSource: remoteDataSource,
                columns: [
                    {
                        field: "pin",
                        title: "PIN",
                        width: 600,
                        filterable: true
                    },
                    {
                        field: "firstName",
                        title: "First Name",
                        width: 100,
                        filterable: true
                    },
                    {
                        field: "lastName",
                        title: "Last Name",
                        filterable: true,
                    },
                ],
                schema: {
                    data: "list"
                },
                height: 430,
                scrollable: true,
                sortable: true,
                pageable: true,
            });
    </script>

Im using an asmx webmethod.

 [WebService(Namespace = "http://localhost/")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
    // To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line. 
    [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
    public class EmployeesService : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {

        [WebMethod]
        public static string GetData()
        {
            JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            List<DepartmentEmployees> employees = EmployeeRules.GetDepartmentEmployeeses(Debug.GetEmployees(20));
            return serializer.Serialize(employees);
        }
    }

Hi Jeremy,

Could you please provide a sample of the JSON response that comes from the server so I can examine its format and verify that the dataSource is configured correctly?

Looking forward to your reply.
