I am converting DataSet to Json which looks like this (data.d at clientside which is returned to client)

{"patients":[{"name":"sam","id":"1"},{"name":"mark","id":"2"}],"medications":[{"id":"1","medication":"atenolol"},{"id":"2","medication":"amoxicillin"}]}

Now I am trying to get Patient datatable in a variable but I am unable to do so.
I tried

JavaScript

var dt=data.d;

But

JavaScript

dt['patients']

gives me undifined.

Did you tried data.d['patients'] or data.d[patients]

Hi Arbaaz,

Actually it is a JSON object not an array so you have to use following:

JavaScript

//First convert your response in JSON object
var dt = JSON.stringify(data.d);

//Now you can access Patients name like
alert(dt.patients[0].name) // it will popup "sam"

Thanks,
Imdadhusen
