title: Ajax call to Asp.net Web Method using Jquery
body: <p>I am using a jquery method, to send information (namely only member identification #) from client side to the server side. </p>
  
  <p>The server side has the traditional Web Method implemented so as to capture data sent and execute SQL queries based on it.</p>

  <p>However until now I have been returning a single string from the server side back to the client side after the SQL query. </p>
  
  <p>Wondering what would be the best way to return a complicated series of strings... member Identification number, start date, end date, type of member... depending on the type of the member, there can be multiple start dates and end dates. </p>
  
  <p>Should I be looking into XML ? </p>
