Serializing dictionaries with JavaScriptSerializer

Question

Apparently, IDictionary is serialized as an array of KeyValuePair objects (e.g., [{Key:\"foo\", Value:\"bar\"}, ...]

Answer 1

I was able to solve with JavaScriptSerializer with Linq Select:

var dictionary = new Dictionary();
var jsonOutput = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(dictionary.Select(x => new { Id = x.Key, DisplayText = x.Value  }));
