How to Pass ArryList or Array of Objects From C# to Javascript?

Question

I am creating list using linq in c# as following way and it works fine.

lst = (from n in dbEntity.Popup_Notes
       select n).ToList();

Now, I want to use this list from client side as array of objects. When user clicks on links, it will display specific notes descriptions as per name selection.

EDIT

i want something like this..

enter image description here

why do you need the list on the client side? Because of the client side/server side boundary, i would try to create a web api to return jason object of the list... — will

I think you need convert your list to JSON and return to client-side. At client, you can use knockout.js to bind data to your control, this way is easier than binding manually.

The following code demo how to use knockout.js and bind data:

var dataModel;  function view(data) {     var self = this;          this.DescriptionA = ko.observable(data.descriptionA);     this.DescriptionB = ko.observable(data.descriptionB); }  $(function(){     dataModel = new view({"descriptionA": "Test A", "descriptionB": "Test B"});     ko.applyBindings(dataModel); });

As you see I bind data when I initialize View object. This is the demo: jsFiddle

Take a look at JSON.NET

Serialize your object(s) to JSON to pass it to your JavaScript code.

In your javascript code use jQuery.parseJson to parse JSON text and build javascript object(s) according to the received JSON text.
