Recently, I have started exploring the world of IEnumerable and Linq. My main focus has been on finding a way to convert IEnumerable objects into JSON format. During my search, I came across a thread on this topic: How do I convert an IEnumerable to JSON?. I followed the suggested solution but unfortunately, it didn't work as expected.
A specific error message that I encountered was:
"Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumberable' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumberable'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) "
This is the code snippet that I attempted to implement:
var displayedOrganizations = filteredOrganizations.Skip(iDisplayStart).Take(iDisplayLength);
IEnumerable<Organization> result = from c in displayedOrganizations
select new Organization[] {
new Organization { ID = Convert.ToString(c.ID),CURR_PDD = c.CURR_PDD,NEW_PDD = c.NEW_PDD,CURR_OFFC = c.CURR_OFFC,NEW_OFFC = c.NEW_OFFC,
CURR_DIV = c.CURR_DIV, NEW_DIV = c.NEW_DIV, CURR_BRANCH = c.CURR_BRANCH, NEW_BRANCH = c.NEW_BRANCH,CURR_DEPT = c.CURR_DEPT,NEW_DEPT = c.NEW_DEPT,
CURR_DEPT_NAME = c.CURR_DEPT_NAME,NEW_DEPT_NAME = c.NEW_DEPT_NAME,ACTION = c.ACTION,USERID = c.USERID,UPDATED = c.UPDATED
}};
When I tried using the original code:
var displayedOrganizations = filteredOrganizations.Skip(iDisplayStart).Take(iDisplayLength);
var result = from c in displayedOrganizations
select new[] {
Convert.ToString(c.ID), c.CURR_PDD, c.CURR_OFFC, c.CURR_DIV,c.CURR_BRANCH, c.CURR_DEPT, c.CURR_DEPT_NAME,
c.NEW_PDD, c.NEW_OFFC, c.NEW_DIV, c.NEW_BRANCH, c.NEW_DEPT, c.NEW_DEPT_NAME, c.ACTION, c.USERID, c.UPDATED
};
The resultant output looked like this:
{"sEcho":0,"iTotalRecords":9,"iTotalDisplayRecords":9,"aaData":[["cb9f927f-0f2e-4a5e-898b-304e4e8518fd","MS","OHR"]]}
My goal is to achieve this desired output instead, with name/value pairs instead of only values:
{"sEcho":0,"iTotalRecords":9,"iTotalDisplayRecords":9,"aaData":[["ID":"cb9f927f-0f2e-4a5e-98b-304e4e8518fd","DIR":"MS","OFFC":"OHR"]]}
Unfortunately, due to my limited understanding of the code, I am struggling to make the necessary modifications. The code snippet was sourced from another website, and while it functions perfectly, I'm having difficulty implementing the specific change I desire.
