Many thanks in advance for your help.
I have the following code in an action which returns a json serialized string of List<Dictionary<string,int>>, but I am struggling to get the data into a usable format in the view, using JQuery. I want to be able to iterate through each dictionary.
I have done this before using a List, which worked, so I could I suppose create a new model but I am sure I should be able to deserialize this.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could suggest a way to deserialize this data or a better way to send the data in the first place.
MenuController:
public JsonResult Populate(string id) {
// Get and process data, creating all, a List<Dictionary<string,int>>
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string json = serializer.Serialize((object)all);
return Json(json, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
I also tried the following instead of using the JavascriptSerielizer, but it had the same result:
return Json(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(all), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
cshtml jquery:
<script type="text/javascript">
$.get('@Url.Action("Populate","Menu")', { id: "MO" }, function (data) {
console.log(data);
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
console.log('obj: ' + obj);
for (var o in obj) {
console.log('o is: ' + o);
}
})
.done(function (d) {
console.log('done: ' + d);
})
.fail(function (d) {
console.log('fail: ' + d);
});
</script>
In the console I get:
data
[{"foo":2,"bar":0,"ray":3,"doh":1},{"mee":1,"so":0,"lah":2,"far":0}]
obj
obj: [object Object],[object Object]
o
o is: 0
o is: 1
done
done: [{"foo":2,"bar":0,"ray":3,"doh":1},{"mee":1,"so":0,"lah":2,"far":0}]
Many thanks for your help.
