Retrieve the session (In List) using javascript

Question

How to retrieve the session values which are stored in the list using javascript?

I used this code to set the session in the controller.

  List<test> _test= new List<test>();
  if (Session["testsession"] == null)                
            Session["testsession"] = _test;

I used this code to retrieve the session list values using javascript

  var TEST ='@HttpContext.Current.Session["quotesession"]';

but when i debug it the output is in

     var TEST ='System.Collections.Generic.List`1[NLG.IMS.Shared.Models.Test]';

Where i went wrong? I need the session values to be retrieved from the list.

I would advise using a strongly typed model and assigning a property to the collection rather than using session, even the ViewBag would be better but if you really must, this is how you could:

You could use the following:

var json = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(@HttpContext.Current.Session["quotesession"]));

Which would output it as json.

jsFiddle

The above prints out a collection to the console.log.

@AarthiRavendiran If you mean loop, I use jQuery.each: api.jquery.com/jquery.each

I dn't want to loop. i need to obtain specific values from that. What method should i need to use?

@AarthiRavendiran If it is a collection, you would access each property with either . notation or square brackets [] i.e. json[0].Property1 or json[0]["Property1"] would access the first one. Obviously use the property in your object though.
