You can't read the data you have in your C# server app from the javascript code running in the client. A common way to 'get' data from server apps to javascript is to write the data values directly into the generated javascript code in a response... I don't know any C#, but I'll pretend C# is C++:

( in part where outputing the page data )

std::vector < std::string > the_cpp_array;
some_function_to_populate_the_array( the_cpp_array );
std::cout << "<script type='text/javascript'>\n";
std::cout << "var the_js_array = new Array( ); \n";
for( int i = 0; i < the_cpp_array.size( ); i++ )
{
  std::cout << "the_js_array[" << i << "] = '" << the_cpp_array[i] << "';\n";
}
std::cout << "</script>";
std::vector < std::string > the_cpp_array;
some_function_to_populate_the_array( the_cpp_array );
std::cout << "<script type='text/javascript'>\n";
std::cout << "var the_js_array = new Array( ); \n";
for( int i = 0; i < the_cpp_array.size( ); i++ )
{
  std::cout << "the_js_array[" << i << "] = '" << the_cpp_array[i] << "';\n";
}
std::cout << "</script>";

thus, if 'the_cpp_array' was filled like: { 'hi', 'I', 'am', 'an', 'array' }
then the generated javascript would be:

<script type="text/javascript">
var the_js_array = new Array( );
the_js_array[0]='hi';
the_js_array[1]='i';
the_js_array[2]='am';
the_js_array[3]='an';
the_js_array[4]='array';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var the_js_array = new Array( );
the_js_array[0]='hi';
the_js_array[1]='i';
the_js_array[2]='am';
the_js_array[3]='an';
the_js_array[4]='array';
</script>

That code could then run on the client, and the javascript could access the data. That assumes that you're generating the page content from within C#.. Erm.. sorry if you can't translate that from C++, I can't translate it to C#.

You might get a more useful answer from the C# forum.

If it only works in Internet Explorer; it doesn't work.
