Following is my javascript array which I am passing from the server.

string request = @"[[1,""Name"",""Sam"",""20""],1,""Name"",""Ram"",""20""]]";

I want to convert it into a List of C# object.

public class UpdateData
    {
        public int RowID { get; set; }

        public string ColumnName { get; set; }

        public string OldValue { get; set; }

        public string NewValue { get; set; }

    }

Is there a way to do that?

• c#
• javascript
• arrays
• list

• 3 The easy way would be to use JSON... There are plenty of good librairies to help with serializing/deserializing (check Newtonsoft.Json) – Bun Commented May 23, 2014 at 17:48

First get a List of Lists and then loop over it to form your List of UpdateData (using Json.Net)

 var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject <List<List<object>>>(request);

You'll want a Json parser. Use Nuget to add one to your project: Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
