C# Simple Ajax Example Gets JSON Formatting Error

This is the most basic example that I can think of. I'm manually creating the JSON in a string to pass back to data tables call. The JSON returned certainly looks to be well formed, but DataTables is throwing the error: 'DatatTables warning (table id='table_id'): DataTables warning: JSON data from server could not be parsed. This is caused by a JSON formatting error.'

The JSON returned in the response, captured in Firefox/Firebug is as follows:
{"sEcho": 1,"iTotalRecords": "2","iTotalDisplayRecords": "2","aaData":[["Vendor1","10","20","30","50"],["Vendor1","10","20","30","50"]]}

This seems to be a valid JSON string as per the DataTables documentation.

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here?
