Pass C# Array To Javascript
arrays, asp.net, c#, javascript
Solution
Replace
var a = '<%= this.javaSerial.Serialize(this.names) %>';
with
var a = <%= this.javaSerial.Serialize(this.names) %>;
You were putting the resulting JSON into a javascript string, which would result in your example output iterating through each character of the `Serialize` call.
Problem
What is the best way to pass C# array to javascript variable ? I have sample code but this return character by character from C# array, I want to return in normal way like word by word in javascript array; C# code behind: ``` public string[] names = { "John", "Pesho", "Maria"}; public JavaScriptSerializer javaSerial = new JavaScriptSerializer(); ``` javascript code: ``` <script> var a = '<%= this.javaSerial.Serialize(this.names) %>'; for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { console.log(a[i]); } </script> ``` This script return all words from "names" array in single char array . I want to return in normal way like ["John"] ["Pesho"] ... What is the best way to pass C# array to javascript ? When I run this code I get the following in console of Chrome browser: ``` [ Profile.aspx:44 " Profile.aspx:44 v Profile.aspx:44 a Profile.aspx:44 l Profile.aspx:44 e Profile.aspx:44 r Profile.aspx:44 i Profile.aspx:44 " Profile.aspx:44 , Profile.aspx:44 " Profile.aspx:44 p Profile.aspx:44 e Profile.aspx:44 s Profile.aspx:44 h Profile.aspx:44 o Profile.aspx:44 " Profile.aspx:44 , Profile.aspx:44 " Profile.aspx:44 m Profile.aspx:44 a Profile.aspx:44 r Profile.aspx:44 i Profile.aspx:44 a Profile.aspx:44 " Profile.aspx:44 ] ```
