Is there anyway to handy convert a dictionary to String?

Question

I found the default implemtation of ToString in the dictionary is not what I want. I would like to have {key=value, ***}.

Any handy way to get it?

Answer 1

I got this simple answer.. Use JavaScriptSerializer Class for this.

And you can simply call Serialize method with Dictionary object as argument.

Example:

var dct = new Dictionary();
var js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
dct.Add("sam","shekhar");
dct.Add("sam1","shekhar");
dct.Add("sam3","shekhar");
dct.Add("sam4","shekhar");
Console.WriteLine(js.Serialize(dct));

Output:

{"sam":"shekhar","sam1":"shekhar","sam3":"shekhar","sam4":"shekhar"}
