Assuming you have a view model:
public class MyViewModel { public object[][] Values { get; set; } } in which you store some values and pass along to the view:
public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { var model = new MyViewModel { Values = new[] { new object[] { "Work", 11 }, new object[] { "Eat", 2 }, new object[] { "Commute", 2 }, new object[] { "Watch TV", 2 }, new object[] { "Sleep", 7 }, } }; return View(model); } } in your view you could JSON encode it:
@model MyViewModel <script type="text/javascript"> function drawChart() { var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Task'); data.addColumn('number', 'Hours per Day'); data.addRows(@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.Values))); } </script> which will be rendered in the final markup as:
<script type="text/javascript"> function drawChart() { var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Task'); data.addColumn('number', 'Hours per Day'); data.addRows([["Work",11],["Eat",2],["Commute",2],["Watch TV",2],["Sleep",7]]); } </script> And you shouldn't be worried at all about having values that contain single or double quotes which could potentially break your javascript because you have used a JSON serializer instead of manually building it.
