Question

i want create a custom json data from the mssql 2008 results so that my iPhone could consume it.

i can consume json websites like this without a problem:
json link

the format could look like this:

Place: New York
       Hotel: Widget Hotel
       Telephone: [phone]

which format should i return to consume it on the iPhone? an array a string, dictionary? i don’t know

EDIT: here is my code:

    namespace WebService1
{
    public class LandHelper
    {
        internal static string[] Land()
        {
            List<string> landObject = new List<string>();

            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=Localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=BOOK-IT-V2;Integrated Security=true;"))
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(@"SELECT BEZEICHNUNG FROM LAND", con))
            {
                con.Open();
                using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    while (rdr.Read())
                    {
                        if (rdr["BEZEICHNUNG"] != DBNull.Value)
                        {
                            landObject.Add(rdr["BEZEICHNUNG"].ToString());
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return landObject.ToArray();
        }
    }
}

i tried this but i don’t know how to add a key to the values i get from the database.
i think it would be easier when i create a custom json format .

Answer 1

Just Return a List like

  [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
    [WebMethod]
    public List<StandortHelper.REGION> LAND()
    {
        return StandortHelper.LAND();
    }

You can return easy a JSON-FORMAT
