c# - give names to a var object in .net -

just wondering using web method return json data web form. anyway don't want entire class in json 2 of columns. used linq columns here example.

 ienumerable<person> model = new list<person>         {             new person { id = 1, name = "bryan", phone = "218-0211", email = "bryan@mail.mil" },             new person { id = 2, name = "joe", phone = "248-0241", email = "joe@mail.mil" },             new person { id = 3, name = "fred", phone = "354-0441", email = "fred@mail.mil" },             new person { id = 4, name = "mary", phone = "344-3451", email = "mary@mail.mil" },             new person { id = 5, name = "jill", phone = "127-3451", email = "jill@mail.mil" }          };         var mysubset = in model select new { a. name, a.email }; 

unfotunately when serialize result , send lose column names. data.name doesn't work wondering can give names var type? example there way this?

var mysubset = in model select new { a. name, a.email };         string myname string;         foreach (var item in mysubset)         {             myname = subset.name;         } 

ok here actual code sorry in vb project inherited

dim mycollection = in cmpnylist select {a.cmpnyname, a.shipfrom} return jsserialize.serialize(mycollection) 

the json returned

[{"company a","new york"},{"company b", "harrisburg"}] 

so i'm trying like

 [{"cmpnyname":"company a", "shipfrom": "new york"},     {"cmpnyname": "company b", "shipfrom": "harrisburg}] 

i believe you're using json.net answer using jobject(newtonsoft.json.linq)

jobject o = new jobject(             new jproperty("personsslist",             new jarray(                 p in model                 select new jobject(                     new jproperty("personname", p.name),                     new jproperty("email", p.email))))); 

and result json

  {  "personsslist": [      {        "personname": "bryan",        "email": "bryan@mail.mil"      },      {        "personname": "joe",        "email": "joe@mail.mil"      },      {        "personname": "fred",        "email": "fred@mail.mil"      },      {        "personname": "mary",        "email": "mary@mail.mil"      },      {        "personname": "jill",        "email": "jill@mail.mil"      }    ]
