Answer 1

dataType should be 'JSON'
There are only 4 accepted values for dataType, which you can see here:
http://docs.jquery.com/Specifying_the_Data_Type_for_AJAX_Requests
Also, your error function takes 3 parameters:
errorFn(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
// your code
}
Additionally, this:
success: function (msg) {
AjaxSucceeded(msg);
},
Can be this:
success: AjaxSucceeded
Your success function also takes 3 parameters:
success(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
For reference on $.ajax parameters: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
