So essentially, you need a way to get the information from your server to the client. There are two ways you can do this.

  1. Use an Ajax call to pull in your information. Of course, in this case, you will need to create an endpoint for your Ajax to hit.

    var yourList;
$.post("GetDataService.svc", function (returnData) {
    yourList = returnData;
});

  2. Save the server object as a javascript object using ASP tags.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var yourList = "<%=this.GetData() %>";
</script>
