take vb.net server side arraylist and convert to javascript array

I have an array list on my server side that i want to use on my client开发者_如何学运维 side as an array how can i do this.

You can return it as JavaScript Object Notation ( JSON ) see this question here on StackOverflow on "How can I encode an Array in VB.NET to JSON?".

To quote @bdukes answer:

Dim serializer as New JavaScriptSerializer()
Dim arrayJson as String = serializer.Serialize(myArray)
