Question

I have a simple C# Class, called Employee which has two properties, Name, Age.
I need to create a list of employees and serialize into JSON and access in jquery.

I have successfuly converted in to JSON.
But i stuck with retreive through the Jquery.

public class Employee
{   
    public string Name { get; set; }    
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    IList<Employee> employeeList = new List<Employee>() {        
    new Employee() { Name = "XXX", Age=20},
    new Employee() { Name = "YYY", Age=24}
    new Employee() { Name = "kamal", Age=24}
};

System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer objectSerializer = new  System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();    
string jsonObj = objectSerializer.Serialize(employeeList);
Response.Write(jsonObj);
}

Any idea..??

Thank in advance.

You should write the json object in a script tag and assign it to some variable in order to use it. Try this

Response.Write("<script type='text\javascript\> var employeeObj = "+jsonObj+"</script>");

Usage in jQuery

//Looping through employeeObj using each method. Inside each this points to each item in the array and you can use this.Name and this.Age to retreive the values.
$.each(employeeObj, function(){
    alert("Name: " + this.Name + " Age: "+ this.Age);
});
