Convert a data row to a JSON object

Question

I have a DataTable which has only a single row and looks like

   America              |  Africa               |     Japan     |   
   ----------         


        

Answer 1

As an alternative to the answer found here, you can use an ExpandoObject to quickly and pretty easily render a single row as JSON, as such:

var expando = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject() as IDictionary;
foreach (DataColumn col in myRow.Table.Columns)
{
    eo[col.ColumnName] = myRow[col];
}
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(expando);
