You just need to decorate your web services with ScriptService attribute and it will return response in raw json format. For more info check it out here and you also want to check out this.

Once you get Json response, you can do something like this to render the output as per your requirement. It's not exactly what you're looking for but it will give you an idea how to proceed further.

In .net 3.5 you can create json by using the System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer otherwise you have to do it manually or by a 3rd party component.
