Question

I have an object decorated with [DataContract] attribute and my WCF service is returning this as JSON like this:

{"GetCommentsByPostResult":[{"CommentCreated":"\/Date(1305736030505+0100)\/","CommentText":"Comment 1"},{"CommentCreated":"\/Date(1305736030505+0100)\/","CommentText":"Comment 2"},{"CommentCreated":"\/Date(1305736030505+0100)\/","CommentText":"Comment 2"}]});

Ive attempted to iterate through the CommentCreated with this jQuery code:

$(data).each(function () 
{
     alert(this.CommentCreated);
});

But all I get is an alert box with ‘undefined in’ so I changed it to:

 $(data).each(function () {

         $(this.GetCommentsByPostResult).each(function () {

                      alert(this.GetCommentsByPostResult);
         });

 });

but that still doesnt work. What I want to do is iterate the CommentCreated and throw them to an alert box….

Answer 1

I’m not sure, but I don’t think this would be the current element when calling each. Also, why are you wrapping the data variable with the jQuery function? jQuery collections are for DOM elements.

$.each(data.GetCommentsByPostResult, function (e) {
    alert(e.CommentCreated);
});
