C# List<string> to JavaScript String Conversion

Question

I have a C# List<String>, and I need to convert it to a JavaScript list of strings.

I'm currently stuck at:

System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer oSerializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer(); test = oSerializer.Serialize(tempString);

In JavaScript, I can get it like this (test is a protected string variable)

var servervalue = '<%=test %>';

In the console I get

var servervalue = '["100000001","200000002","200000003","300000006","300000007"]';

and I need to get it without the single quotation marks, like this:

["100000001", "200000002", "200000003", "300000006", "300000007"];

You should use Newtsonsoft.Json, Microsoft actually recommends it over the built in serializer. Also, you could simply use a global or Session and assign the value, depending on your implementation. Not sure your goal. — Greg, CommentedJul 13, 2015 at 14:07

If you don't want the list to be wrapped by ' quotes, you can easily fix this by removing the quotes that appear around the <%=test %> in the code.

var servervalue = <%=test%>;

var servervalue = eval('<%=test %>');

You also can use eval to change the string to Array
