converting C# Lists (more than one) to JavaScript Associative Arrays -

i after this:

i have multiple lists in c# so:

list<string> names = new list<string>() {     "name1",     "name2",     "name3" };  list<double> values = new list<double>() {     1,     2,     3 }; 

i want serialize them array in javascript (i looking return string) this:

[ { name: "name1", value: 1 }, { name: "name2", value: 2 }, { name: "name3", value: 3 } ] 

so far have tried this:

public class bmdata {     string _name;     public string name     {          { return this._name; }          set { this._name = value; }     }     double _value;     public double value     {         { return this._value; }         set { this._value = value; }     } } 

zip them , wrap "data item" class. want keep functionality other reason. zipped key value pairs new class:

list<bmdata> namesvalues = names.zip(values, (x, y) => new bmdata{name = x, value = y}).tolist(); 

finally tried serialize so:

var serializer = new javascriptserializer(); string jsdata = serializer.serialize(namesvalues); 

but return this:

[ {"name":"name1","value":1}, {"name":"name2","value":2}, {"name":"name3","value":3} ] 

it's "" around name , value killing key:value association. ideas?

thank you!

you can achieve need using json.net serializer. check out next code , change according needs:

list<bmdata> namesvalues = new list<bmdata> {     new bmdata { name = "name1", value= 1 },     new bmdata { name = "name2", value= 2 },     new bmdata { name = "name3", value= 3 } };  string jsdata = "[]"; var serializer = new jsonserializer(); using (var stringwriter = new stringwriter()) {     using (var writer = new jsontextwriter(stringwriter))     {         writer.quotename = false;         serializer.serialize(writer, namesvalues);     }      jsdata = stringwriter.tostring(); } 

however, have remark produce invalid json, it's need.

result:

[ {name:"name1",value:1.0}, {name:"name2",value:2.0}, {name:"name3",value:3.0} ]
