How to call c# server side method through javascript

Question

Hi,

I need to call a c# server method through the javascript. I have a gridview in which i have a column with dropdown list. When i change the dropdown's value i need to call a server side method through javascript and change the value of another text box in the gridview.

I am able to do this on the selected index change. but i am slightly worried about the performance.

i am using asp.net c#.

Please let me know how to do this.
