Hey,
I've got a IList
of Sites in my application and Site has a large amount of properties.
I'm wanting to convert this list to JSON to be used in a dropdownlist similar to this
var sites = SiteRepository.FindAllSites();
return new JsonResult() { Data = sites, JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet };
the problem I have is that I only want to use the id and name properties of the site class. I was thinking a way round this would be to use an 'adaptor' class that would then only expose these two properties and I would then serialize that.
The problem I have is I want to make the class generic so that it can handle any list of objects. Has anybody come across a similar situation and solved it?
