c# - Returning Empty Json Object -

i trying return json object in c#. new mvc controller , using json first time, return object, , empty.

public class {     private string name;     public void set(string data)     {         name = data;     }     public string get()     {         return name;     } } public jsonresult hello() {     obj = new a();     obj.set("abc");     javascriptserializer js = new javascriptserializer();     string jsonvar = js.serialize(obj);     return json(jsonvar, jsonrequestbehavior.allowget); } 

you assuming framework can deduce get , set set private variable name's value.. doesn't.

instead, make name public property, , should work:

public class {     public string name { get; set; } }  obj = new a() { name = "abc" }; /* ...etc... */ 

think framework's point of view. how can determine get or set doing? accessing same variable? knows.. runtime after all. why methods can't serialized way you're assuming.
