I know it's late, but maybe someone else can make use of it in the future. You can achieve what you need using LINQ:

Dictionary data = new Dictionary();

data.Add(TestEnum.A, 1);
data.Add(TestEnum.B, 2);
data.Add(TestEnum.C, 3);

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Dictionary dataToSerialize = data.Keys.ToDictionary(p => p.ToString(), p => data[p]);
string dataSerialized = serializer.Serialize(dataToSerialize);
