How to get a IEnumerable<class> from c# in JavaScript

Question

In c# I have one method

public IEnumerable<Office> PointOffices;

private void PrepareMap(IEnumerable<Office> tdMaps)
  {
      var pointOffices = tdMaps as Office[] ?? tdMaps.ToArray();
      if (tdMaps == null || !pointOffices.Any()) return;
      PointOffices = pointOffices;
 }

In JavaScript I want to get each element of Office and generate different html with attributes of Office class

I tried to do like this

var pointOffices =<%= PointOffices %>;

but it gives me error: Unexpected token ]

Do I need to serialise the class or the method to get it in js ? how can I realize this?

Why not create HTML element on server side, as you already have data there ? Other possibility is to make a web service for getting data and then from browser js make ajax call to get the data from this REST web service as JSON and then js in browser consumes this and adds new HTML elements. — pero

Yep!

Check out JSON.NET.

So in your example you should be able to do something like this

public string SerializedPointOffices
{
    get { return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(this.PointOffices); }
}
