title: ASP.NET page methods vs web service
body: <p>I am building a dynamic partial load asp.net page, I would like to use jQuery to call page methods or web service to retrieve the content HTML.</p>
  
  <p>page methods or web service, performance wise, which way is better?</p>
  
  <p>If I call page method, on the server side, does the page go through full lifecycle?</p>
  
  <p>Is there any good resources help me to better understand page method?</p>
