Add System.Web.Extensions.dll and try the below code,

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, int> {
            {"ConfigA", 1200},
            {"ConfigB", 1500},
            {"ConfigC", 800},
            {"ConfigD", 2}
        };

        var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        Console.WriteLine(serializer.Serialize(dictionary));
    }
}

Possibly same as this question

Just out of interest, do you know that you are creating an array containing a single object with 4 parameters? Assuming JavaScript will be the target of this structure then you will be referencing data[0].config*. You may want to leave off the square brackets at start and end to make the recipient JS code easier to understand. Example of before and after below.

// using array
var data = jQuery.parseJSON('[{"ConfigA":"1200","ConfigB":"1500","ConfigC":"800","ConfigD":"2"}]')

var A = data[0].configA
alert('Value of A=' + A)  // Will show 1200

var B = data[0].configB
alert('Value of B=' + B)  // Will show 1500

// without array
var dataV2 = jQuery.parseJSON('{"ConfigA":"1200","ConfigB":"1500","ConfigC":"800","ConfigD":"2"}')

var A2 = data.configA
alert('Value of A2=' + A2)  // Will show 1200

var B2 = data.configB
alert('Value of B2=' + B2)  // Will show 1500
