Whats the best way to load an HTML select with JQuery from C# WCF?

Question

I know at least 1 long way to do it, but I figured I might as well ask.

I have a bunch of values in a C# WCF Service (I could make it into an array, dictionary, etc)

I would like to make an AJAX call from JQuery that will consume the service and load the html select.

I was thinking of returning an IEnumerable from the WCF service, and loop through them in JQuery, adding s to my select.

Is there a better way to do this?

Is there some JQuery command that will consume an array-like structure from WCF and load the box for me? I'm not looking for AJAX code, only JQuery code to load the select, and a recommendation of types to use.

It looks like this would do pretty much what I've explained. Is it the best way?
