Access Session List in javascript

Question

.aspx.cs:

List<SomeObject> items = whatever.getList();

Session["records"] = items;

If I access the Session in my Javascript file it gives me a string like

'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[SomeObject]'

.js function:

var records = '<%= Session["records"] %>';

How can I convert the session into an array? Thanks

you can make a ajax call and get array of session

You have to iterate through that array and print the right values:

var records = [];

<% 
    foreach(var item in (List<SomeObject>)Session["records"]) { 
%>

records.push('<%= item.PropertyName %>');

<% 
    }
%>

Now you got an array in your script with those values.

To get an array of objects like { Property1: "value1", Property2: "value2" }, that stands for the same structur of your C# object, for example, you have use reflection.

Works fine, but how can I read the C# native code in my javascript file?

Try this... I am not checking

<script>
    var someSession = '<%= Session["SessionName"].ToString() %>';

 </script>
