USING JSON SERIALIZATION FOR CODE BEHIND-JAVASCRIPT DATA COMMUNICATION


You need to add Ref to System.Web.Extensions.dll and also needed to add namespace
System.Web.Script.Serialization;
The code is simple as you only need to use a class named "JavaScriptSerializer". JSON converison of a simle class
Emloyee described below
//Class to be serialized in JASON
    public class Employee
    {
        public string ID
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        public string Name
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }
//Code to perform above class to be serialized
    StringBuilder jasonSerialize = new StringBuilder();
            Employee emps = new Employee();
            emps.ID = "1";
            emps.Name = "Jaish";
            JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
           
            ser.Serialize(emps, jasonSerialize);

The serialized information available in a stringbuilder varaible, jasonSerialize. This string format can be identified in JavaScript. From JavaScript if you need to load the real class from serialized format use the "eval()". It will be stored in a var. One dependency here is that after modification from JavaScript, you again need to serialize it, at this time from JavaScript. So you need to download a JS file named jason.js from "http://devpro.it/JSON/files/JSON-js.html". It has useful functions like "encode","decode" and many and you may again serialize the information and pass it to C# code side. From C# side use below code to deserialize the Employee object, which has modified from JavaScript.
Employee empd = ser.Deserialize<Employee>(jasonSerialize.ToString());
Now your "emd" contains the latest Employee object which is deserialized using JavaScriptSerializer class.
