Any way to pass an object from c# code behind to javascript?

I want to pass an object from my c# code behind to my javascript. I know that I can use

var myVar = '<%# myVar %>'

to pass variables. However, that method seems to pass everything as a string. I want an object.

Is there any way to accomplish that?

You can serialize it to JSON using the JavaScriptSerializer.

Something like:

System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer oSerializer = 

         new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();



string sJSON = oSerializer.Serialize(myVar);

Then you in your aspx code you can use:

var myVar = <%# sJSON %>;

Which will output something like:

var myVar = {Name:John,Age:30,ID:111};
