Another q: within Visual Studio 2010 ultimate I remember I could search and download dll from the web: Web Downlaoder or so. I cnnot find it again. Does any one know it?

JavaScriptSerializer is one way to go:

MyType[] collection = ...
string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(collection);

Install Nuget http://nuget.org/ using visual studio extension manager, look for json.net in nuget (right click on your project and select Manage nuget packages), add it to your project, you can serialize using this library without adding dependency on system.web

One way is to Use the DataContractJsonSerializer.

Take a look at Json.net for the Json serialising/deserialising

For downloading the .dlls you probably saw nuget. Once it's installed you can right click on the references folder in the solution explorer and select manage packages.
