I have an array in my page_load in c# which i want to access in java script but don't know how to do that..

float [] energyArray = new float[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    energyArray[i] = energyObj[i].FwdHr;
}

Now i want to access in javascript in place of data-

series: [{
    name: 'Tokyo',
    data: [7.0, 6.9, 9.5, 14.5, 18.2, 21.5, 25.2, 26.5, 23.3, 18.3, 13.9, 9.6]
}]

}]       

• c#
• javascript
• asp
• json

• You could store the series as a string in a HiddenField then split it up in the javascript – Mikey Mouse Commented May 30, 2013 at 10:21
• you might using it for displaying high chart i guess, i normally use this in .cs page.... Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), "abc", stringARRAY ); – Hisham Commented Jun 13, 2013 at 13:32

A very easy way is to use the JavaScriptSerializer class to transform your C# object into JSON:

C#

float [] energyArray = new float[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
   {
       energyArray[i] = energyObj[i].FwdHr;
   }

Javascript:

var dataArray = <%=new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(energyArray);%>;
var series = [{
            name: 'Tokyo',
            data: dataArray
        }];

Changing your problem a little bit here...

Instead of manipulating an already existing script, consider constructing the whole javascript string block and then use Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock.

http://msdn.microsoft./en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.registerclientscriptblock.aspx

int[] yourArray = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
string arrElements = string.Join(",", yourArray.Select(x => x.ToString()).ToArray());
string strJs = string.Format("var yourArray=[{0}]", arrElements);
RegisterClientScriptBlock("Test", strJs);

you would need to pass the array to the client side (tha javascript part) somehow:

I would suggest making an ajax request to a page, that would return the serialized array or as @Blade0rz suggested, to output the serialized string directly to the page. to serialize the array to a JSON format you would call the methods of the JavaScriptSerializer class:

more on it here

Declare a HiddenField

    <asp:HiddenField id="myHiddenField" runat="server"

Set it's value to your array.Tostring() in the code behind Then in your javascript

    var h = document.getElementById('myHiddenField');
    //Should give you an array of strings that you can cast to integers 

C# code behind:

float [] energyArray = new float[count];
 public JavaScriptSerializer javaSerial = new JavaScriptSerializer();

Try This Code:

<script>
var a = <%= this.javaSerial.Serialize(this.energyArray) %>;
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        console.log(a[i]);
    }
 </script>
