A comma separated string value is returned from DB and I would like to assign it to a javascript variable. Hidden fields are not an option. Unabele to get the data into js variable. This is what I have tried
ASPX:
<script>
var Collection = <%GetCodes();%>
$(document).ready(function () {
alert(Collection);
</script>
C#:
public string GetCodes()
{
datatable dt = function to get data;
return Convert.ToString(dt.Rows[0]["codes"]);
}
<script>
var Collection = <%=GetCodes()%>;
$(document).ready(function () {
alert(Collection);
});
</script>
(Add the =, remove the semi-colon).
Think of the use of = as part of an evaluation (i.e. the return of your GetCodes() method), and without the = as a call on the method without concern with what's returned.
Note also, your parentheses were not balanced, that could've contributed to your problems!? Fixed in my code above anyway.
As an aside: be careful mixing JS and C# in this way. When they're this tightly coupled things can horribly wrong, very fast.
var Collection = '<%=GetCodes()%>'; Thank you very much
<script>
var Collection = <%=GetCodes()%>;
$(document).ready(function () {
alert(Collection);
});
</script>
var Collection = '<%=GetCodes();%>';?
