I have a custom Javascript object that has a few string and float members. I'd like to serialize an array of them in Javascript, assign the result to a hidden field, and then retrieve and deserialize them in the codebehind for my asp application.

Is there a standard way to do this?

• c#
• javascript
• asp

• I clarified my question because it wasn't clear before that I want to serialize to JSON in javascript – NibblyPig Commented Oct 1, 2010 at 9:14

You can Use JSON.

With JSON you serialize data and serialize it in Different language.

Edit:
Since JavaScriptSerializer is deprecated .. you can use DataContractJsonSerializer. MSDN: DataContractJsonSerializer Blog post on how to use it: http://pietschsoft./post/2008/02/NET-35-JSON-Serialization-using-the-DataContractJsonSerializer.aspx
