hi.

I'm creating a Windows form project to collect data from a database and present it as charts in a html file.
After collecting all the data i want, i update an existing json file with those values so i can read and use them to create the charts. My problem is when i try to access the json file from the javascript i get this error

Quote:
xmlhttprequest cannot load file (path of the file) cross origin requests are only supported for http

I'm also using angularjs.
This is how i have my code:

data.json

{
  "children":[
    {"data": "val1" }, 
    {"data": "val2" }, 
    {"data": "val3" }, 
    {"data": "val4" }, 
    {"data": "val5" }
  ]
}

Service.js

C#

var jsonService = angular.module('jsonService', ['ngResource']);

jsonService.factory('JsonService', function ($resource) {
    return $resource('C:/Users/Lopez/Documents/Visual Studio 2010/Projects/Dashboard/SMO/html/data.json');
});

app.js

PHP

var app = angular.module('angularjs-starter', ['jsonService']);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, JsonService) {
    JsonService.get(function (data) {
        $scope.name = data.name;
        $scope.children = data.children;
    });
});

index.htm

XML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="angularjs-starter">

  <head lang="en">
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Custom Plunker</title>

    <script src="../Scripts/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../Scripts/angular-resource.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="../javascript/service.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


  </head>

  <body ng-controller="MainCtrl">

    <h2>children</h2>
    <div ng-repeat="child in children">
      {{child.data}}
    </div>


  </body>

</html>

EDIT:
I've been told to use a WCF WebService to avoid that error message and access the data. I have search the web and read tutorials but i don't understand how can i make a service to do waht the message says it cannot do.

Can you give me any hints?

Hi,

As much I can understand you have the data and then you write in a file and try to access it using Javascript from same machine.

I would suggest you to change your approach.

1 : Fetch Data From DB
2 : Serialize that data using JSON Serialization
3 : Then write that data in your HTML page
eg

HTML

<html>
          <title>
          <script>var Json="{}"; // your data
           </script>
           <title>
<body>
do your operation 
</body>
</title></title></html>

Save the HTML file as template and then replace that block using your data
