I saw on stackoverflow we can do this to populate js variables with ViewBags (with razor):
@{
var jss = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
var userInfoJson = jss.Serialize(ViewBag.User);
}
with this:
<script>
//use Json.parse to convert string to Json
var userInfo = JSON.parse('@Html.Raw(userInfoJson)');
</script>
I want to do the same thing with aspx not razor. Can you help me?
In my controller:
Viewbag.test="Thanks to you it works!"
In my aspx:
public String test {get; set;}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
test = ViewBag.test;
}
<script>
alert('<%=test%>');
</script>
Result: Thanks to you it works!
Add a public property to your page and populate it on Page Load (you may have to do it on Page Init, I can't remember which processes first).
public UserType UserToSerialize {get; set;}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UserToSerialize = LoadUser(); //I assume you've got some magic to do this already
}
Markup:
<script>
var userInfo = JSON.parse("<%# new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(UserToSerialize) %>");
</script>
Notice I use UserToSerialize to avoid interfering with the Page.User property.
