    <p>I have a web service I'm calling that does a dupe check based on email, firstName and lastName. The object I am getting back from the business layer is very large and has way more data than I need to pass back. In my web service function, I would like to only pass back 10 fields via JSON. Instead of making a new class with those 10 fields, I was looking to loop through my large return object and just make a list or array of anonymous objects with those 10 fields in it instead.</p> <p>I know I can make an anonymous array of anonymous object manually like this</p> <pre><code>obj.DataSource = new[] { new { Text = "Silverlight", Count = 10, Link = "/Tags/Silverlight" }, new { Text = "IIS 7", Count = 11, Link = "http://iis.net" }, new { Text = "IE 8", Count = 12, Link = "/Tags/IE8" }, new { Text = "C#", Count = 13, Link = "/Tags/C#" }, new { Text = "Azure", Count = 13, Link = "?Tag=Azure" } }; </code></pre> <p>My issue is that I want to do that exact thing except by looping through my big object and only pulling out the fields I need to return.</p> <pre><code>private class DupeReturn { public string FirstName; public string LastName; public string Phone; public string Owner; public string Address; public string City; public string State; public string Zip; public string LastModified; } [WebMethod] [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)] public string CheckForDupes(string Email, string FirstName, string LastName) { contact[] list = Services.Contact.GetDupes(Email, FirstName, LastName); if (list != null &amp;&amp; list.Length &gt; 0) { List&lt;DupeReturn&gt; dupes = new List&lt;DupeReturn&gt; { }; foreach (contact i in list) { DupeReturn currentObj = new DupeReturn { FirstName = i.firstname, LastName = i.lastname, Phone = i.telephone1, Owner = i.ownerid.ToString(), Address = i.address1_line1, City = i.address1_city, State = i.address1_stateorprovince, Zip = i.address1_postalcode, LastModified = i.ctca_lastactivityon.ToString() }; dupes.Add(currentObj); } return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dupes); } } </code></pre> <p>I really don't want to have to make that additional private class if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
