How do I pass data from c# to jquery/javascript?

I have a function that I\'d like to run when the page loads, so either in document.ready or pageLoad.

Using jquery, I\'ll trigger the function using its class name

@Anand is correct saying that you can use jQuery Ajax to retrieve server-side data.

However, depending on exactly what it is you want to do, you might be able to do it another way.

You can use the .net JavascriptSerializer class to serialize your data to JSON format. JSON is a very good tool to become familiar with if you aren't already familiar with it.

JavascriptSerializer will put your JSON in a string, which you can then put inside a hidden input and read with your Javascript code. This has the advantage that there is no need for a second HTTP request, as would be the case with jQuery Ajax.
