JavaScriptSerializer（）。Serialize：PascalCase到CamelCase

Question

I have this javascript object

var options:
 {
        windowTitle         : '....',
        windowContentUrl    : '....',
        windowHeight        : 380,
        windowWidth         : 480
}

And I have this C# class

public class JsonDialogViewModel
    {
        public string WindowTitle               {   get;    set;    }
        public string WindowContentUrl          {   get;    set;    }
        public double WindowHeight              {   get;    set;    }
        public double WindowWidth               {   get;    set;    }

    }

And you see, my notation is PascalCase in C# and my Javascript is CamelCase. That the usual convention.

I am using JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize to serialize my C# object and use it in my Javascript code.

I am however facing this issue of PascalCase to CamelCase that JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize does not handle.

What do you suggest to get around this translation?

Thank you

Answer 1

The best solution I could find was to have a method that receives the object to be serialized, generates a Dictionary<string, object> based on the properties of the object and then apply JavaScriptSerializer.Serialize() to this Dictionary.
This was good enough for what I needed.

Maybe you can use DataContractJsonSerializer instead? Here's a related questions with an answer that explains how to use it: ASP.NET MVC: Controlling serialization of property names with JsonResult
