How to join two objects into array?

Question

I'm very new to asp net, I'm trying to return an array like this:

[
    {Option: 'Yes', Total: 10},
    {Option: 'No', Total: 8}
]

I have these two objects:

var op1 = new
{
    Option = "Yes",
    Total = 10
};
var op2 = new
{
    Option = "No",
    Total = 8
};

var ret = ???

return Json(ret, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

How can I do this?

Why don't you declare a class that has members of Option and Total and make a serializer so that this makes more sense? Otherwise that op1 and op2 aren't given a specific type that may be where there are issues here. — JB King

@JBKing. Because both Total actually are something like ctx.Table.Where(x => x.Item > Number).Count() — user4227915

newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/SerializingCollections.htm would be an example of what I mean here that may help you. Notice how they have "Product" as a type that is defined and makes things much easier here. — JB King

You can try this:

var r= new []{op1,op2};

Check in this msdn page Implicitly-typed Arrays in Object Initializers section.
