I have a ASP.Net web handler that returns results of a query in JSON format
public static String dt2JSON(DataTable dt)
{
String s = "{\"rows\":[";
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
s += "{";
for (int i = 0; i < dr.Table.Columns.Count; i++)
{
s += "\"" + dr.Table.Columns[i].ToString() + "\":\"" + dr[i].ToString() + "\",";
}
s = s.Remove(s.Length - 1, 1);
s += "},";
}
s = s.Remove(s.Length - 1, 1);
}
s += "]}";
return s;
}
The problem is that sometimes the data returned has quotes in it and I would need to javascript-escape these so that it can be properly created into a js object. I need a way to find quotes in my data (quotes aren't there every time) and place a "/" character in front of them.
Example response text (wrong):
{"rows":[{"id":"ABC123","length":"5""},
{"id":"DEF456","length":"1.35""},
{"id":"HIJ789","length":"36.25""}]}
I would need to escape the " so my response should be:
{"rows":[{"id":"ABC123","length":"5\""},
{"id":"DEF456","length":"1.35\""},
{"id":"HIJ789","length":"36.25\""}]}
Also, I'm pretty new to C# (coding in general really) so if something else in my code looks silly let me know.
