InvalidOperationException : Request format is invalid : application/json charset=utf - 8

Can anybody help me guys with this one,

I'm tryng to invoke a web method in my web service from javascript but i keep on getting javascript response Error stating that my webmethod couldn't execute because of this Error (InvalidOperationException : Request format is invalid : application/json charset=utf - 8 )

here is my logic for my web service

[ScriptService]
[WebService(Namespace = "http://www.wipspace.com/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class svrCreateReal : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
private clsLibraryFile objF;
private clsWipReel objWipR;


public svrCreateReal ()
{
objF = new clsLibraryFile();
objWipR = new clsWipReel();
}

[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = false)]
public int createReelfileCollection(string reelID, string menuID, string fileID )
{
try
{
objWipR.reelID = Convert.ToInt32(Server.HtmlEncode(reelID));
objWipR.reelMenuID = Convert.ToInt32(Server.HtmlEncode(menuID));
objF.fileID = Convert.ToInt32(Server.HtmlEncode(fileID));
return objWipR.createReelMovieCollection(objWipR, objF);
}
catch
{
return -1;
}

}

From my aspx page i call a javascript function that invokes the web method like below

<asp:ScriptManager ID="scriptManager"
runat="server" >
<Services>
<asp:ServiceReference InlineScript="true" Path="adminWipService/svrCreateReal.asmx" />
</Services>
</asp:ScriptManager>

<script type="text/javascript">

function createReel( sender, e )
{
var container = e.get_container();
var item = e.get_droppedItem();
var position = e.get_position();
var fileID = parseInt(item.getAttribute("fileID"));
var menuID = parseInt(container.getAttribute("MenuID"));
var row = position;

var created = svrCreateReal.createReelfileCollection(6, menuID, fileID);

alert(created );

}

thnks very much in advance

cheers

Pay attention on Web.config of your application. It have to contain some declarations. Similarly to it:
