Parse a Namespace in JavaScript

I have a fairly simple web service response. How I can parse the response in a way that I could get the value of namespace ns2:count.
Web Service Response
<availableSlots xmlns:ns5="http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind" xmlns:ns2="http://bindings.egain.com/chat" xmlns:ns4="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas" xmlns:ns3="jabber:client">
<ns2:count>1</ns2:count>
</availableSlots>
My JavaScript
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
url: "https://myserver/system/company/chat/fake/capacity/1007",
dataType: 'xml',
success: function (data) {
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(data),
$xml = $(xmlDoc),
$name = $xml.find("ns2\\:count");
$("#AvailableAgents").html($name);
alert($name);
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert(xhr.responseText + "\n" + xhr.status + "\n" + thrownError);
}
});
});
this way my alert shows object [Object]. How I can get the value 1.

Unfortunately, parseXML dose not work for me but I was able to get the values as;
I get the xml attribute which is availableSlots
Then I get the valueof ns2 namespace
var slots = $(data).find('availableSlots');
var numberOfAgents = $(slots).find("ns2\:count").text();

POST http://localhost:51348/TestService.svc/SendCredentials 400 (Bad Request)

I have been stuck at this problem for almost two days now and I don't seem to find any solution. I have hosted a WCF service on my machine that contains a method SendCredentials which accepts two string parameters.
Now I am supposed to send a public key to my service through which it will do encryption(Asymetric cryptography) and send some information back to the client.
I am not able to pass that public key to the service method from the client as it is in XML format.Here is my client side code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnSend").click(function () {
debugger;
jQuery.support.cors = true;
var doOaepPadding = true;
var rsa = new System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider();
_privateKey = rsa.ToXmlString(true);
_publicKey = rsa.ToXmlString(false);
var data = $("#txtName").val();
var name = "testvalue";
var _privateKey = rsa.ToXmlString(true);
**var _publicKey = rsa.ToXmlString(false);**
//<![CDATA[ and ]]>;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'http://localhost:51348/TestService.svc/SendCredentials',
crossDomain: true,
data:JSON.stringify({ mac: "bac", pubKey: _publicKey }),
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
success: function (result) {
var ans = JSON.stringify(result);
alert(ans);
// result = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(result.documentElement);
},
error: function (xhr, err) {
alert("readyState: " + xhr.readyState + "\nstatus: " + xhr.status);
alert("responseText: " + xhr.responseText);
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
_publicKey is the variable I want to pass but throws above said error. Any suggestions How do i pass this XML variable would be really appreciated.

I would suggest you to convert _publicKey to base64 string
convert your _publicKey to string then byte Array and use
Convert.ToBase64String(byte[] inArray)
and on the service side do the reverse
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(endodedString), true));

JsonResult returning data, but Jquery Ajax returns undefined data when type is GET

I have a javascript function calling a JsonResult method, and the JsonResult method is sending the data back to the function, but when I test it with an alert in the javascript function it returns as Undefined. I have checked out a couple similar answers on SO, like this JsonResult returns null for Jquery .ajax and Jquery ajax not returning data [duplicate] but they are dealing with POST and not GET, can I get some guidance on what I am doing wrong or direction to where I can this figured out?
The end result is I need to get all the returned data from the JsonResult method then populate it into textfields.
My JsonResult method is..
public JsonResult myResult(string id)
{
dal = new AWDAL();
List<CustomerToAdd> cust = dal.GetCustomerByID(id);
return Json(cust, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
and my JavaScript is this..
function DataToGet(whatever) {
alert(whatever.customerName);
}
function GetCustomerByCustomerID() {
//var id = selectCustomerID;
var result = "";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "#Url.Action("myResult", new { id = "1234-5678-9012" })",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
return DataToGet(data);
}
});
}
I found this way of doing what I want but its for WebAPI2, I am not using WebAPI2 but it looks better, I am not even sure if I can use it to do what I want.
function formatItem(item) {
return item.Name + ': $' + item.Price;
}
function find() {
var id = $('#prodId').val();
$.getJSON(uri + '/' + id)
.done(function (data) {
$('#product').text(formatItem(data));
})
.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, err) {
$('#product').text('Error: ' + err);
});
}
EDIT
Response Header
Response Body

The payload is an array. To get a single item in the payload you would need to get it like so data[0] and each field data[0].customerName.

On Save of when creating account record create a task (capturing current time and user in description field) using odata

**
function task()
{
var date=Date.now();
var accountid=Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
var entity = {};
entity.Description = date;
entity.Subject = "Hi.....";
entity.RegardingObjectId = {
Id:accountid,
LogicalName: "account"
};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datatype: "json",
url: Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/TaskSet",
data: JSON.stringify(entity),
beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
},
async: false,
success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
var result = data.d;
var newEntityId = result.TaskId;
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus + " " + errorThrown);
}
});
}
//I try to get date from system and inserted in to task description but it showing.
Blockquote
Error bad request
Blockquote
so please help me out ,thanks in advance.

the statement :
var date=Date.now();
captures current date and time and returns as DateTime format.
here is where you went wrong
entity.Description = date;
entity.Description accepts sting only ..not datetime try converting the variable to string with toString() also check the other possible methods
check for demo

instead of var date=Date.now(); we can use `var date=Date();' it will work.

Instead of var date=Date.now(); we can use var date=Date();

Simplest way to test ASP.NET Webservice that returns JSON from some JavaScript?

We have a .asmx service that returns JSON data. Can someone point me to a simple example that calls the service from a page w JavaScript ?
Tks

You can use jQuery's get function.
var dataID = $('#WhatINeedForAParameter').val();
$.get('WebApiAddress/MethodName', { id: dataID },
function(data) {
alert(data);
// Since your method returns a JSON object you can access
// the properties of that object
alert(data.id);
alert(data.name);
});
Or if you want to use the long hand jQuery ajax you can do the following:
var dataID = $("#WhatINeedForAParameter").val();
var request = $.ajax({
url: "WebApiAddress/MethodName",
type: "POST",
data: { id : dataID },
dataType: "jsonp"
});
request.done(function(msg) {
alert('You got this ' + msg);
});
request.fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus) {
alert( "Your request failed: " + textStatus );
});
