C# How to read Object

Question

i try to passing javascript array to code-behind using object in code-behind, now i should get each value

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static void getData(object[] data)
{
     ...
}

this is array from javascript :

var data = [["5","John"],["6","Marteen"]];

after i pass into code-behind :

data            {object[137]}
--[0]           {object[1]}
----[0]         Count = 8
------[0]       {[id, 5]}
------[1]       {[Name, John]}

i have to get ID and Name, i can't simply read like javascript, ex : data[0][0]["Name"] = "John";

now i just try to read using foreach and i still can't get the value

foreach (object[] item in data)
{
    var array = (object[])item;
    foreach (var str in array)
    {
       /*how to get the value*/
    }
}

so how should i do to get that value using index?

thanks before

JavaScript array in server-side is nothing but a plain string. Its unstructured data. To get your object structure back you need to define corresponding C# class. and then as Sayse suggested use Json serializer, something like JSON.NET http://www.newtonsoft.com/json .
