How to iterate a C# generic list in javascript?

Question

Currently I have a button that fires addMultipleToCart - It is supposed to pass in this object that I created called productids

List<String> productids = new List<String>();

Here is how I register the onClick event:

 <a id="displayAddToCart" href="#" onclick="addMultipleToCart('@productids');return false;"
  role="button" class="btn primary btn-add-to-cart">Add To Cart</a>

When this event gets called, it is supposed loop through the list like so :

this.addMultipleToCart = function (products) {
        for (var i = 0, len = products.length; i < len; i++) {
            insite.productdetail.addToCartClick(products[i], '1', '');
        }
    };

However, when products gets passed through, it looks like the object isn't getting passed, but the name of the object type? It looks like this:

products = "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]"

So, when I loop through, I end up looping through the string

"System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]"

Which is obviously not what I want. How can I access my list using javascript?

use a JSON library to convert the list into an array. – Daniel A. White Jul 20 '15 at 16:55 — Daniel A. White, Jul 20 '15 at 16:55
@DanielA.White do you mean `JSON` when say `array`? :-) – Grundy Jul 20 '15 at 16:57 — Grundy, Jul 20 '15 at 16:57
