Array/List/Object to JSON Issue

I have a question related to serialising list/array to JSON. This is done in a WFS and I'm using it's serialization (ie not doing any on my own) This is the rough code of what I have:

[DataContract]
public class MyObject
{
  [DataMember]
  string name;
  [DataMember]
  string value;
  public MyObject(string n, string v)
  {
     name = n;
    value = v;
  }
}

Then I have a list of these objects:

List <MyObject> lst = new List <MyObject>();
lst.add(new MyObject("Surname", "Smith"));
return lst;

Now the resultant JSON is something like:

[{"name":"Surname", "value":"Smith"}]

What I would however like to get is:

[{"Surname":"Smith"}]

What am I doing wrong in my object definition, or elsewhere?

Thanks

Use json.net from newtonsoft. It serialises in the form you want.
