AJax JSON Call error when trying to access the properties of class

I am making a JSON call to web method which is defined in code behind. The web method returns a class object.The class returns 3 properties one of type list and 2 integers. I am accessing these in the following manner:

success: function(result) {
                    alert(result);
                    alert(result.LookCount);
                    alert(result.length);
                    if(result.LookCount  > 0)
                    {
                        var Info = "";

                        for(var i = 0;i < result.LookUps.length; i++)
                        {
                           Info += CreateLookUpGrid(result.LookUps[i].Client,result.LookUps[i].ClientOrg);
                        }

alert(result.LookCount) -> alerts undefined and when i alert result it shows me the compelte result string which has all data. So the data is returned correctly by web method. But I am unable to access it.

Likely, you need to use result.d instead of result. ASP.NET tries to implement some security by wrapping the JSON object in a "d" property so nothing gets accidentally evaluated and run on the client.

If you're doing something that actually returns a string (as your post indicates when describing the alert results), you'll need to parse the string into a JSON object. You can do this with JQuery, or another javascript file like JSON2.

You need to convert the result string into an object. If you're using the latest version of jQuery, you can use its parseJSON method:

var data= $.parseJSON(result);
if (data.LookCount > 0) {
    ...
}
