I'm having problems deserializing some json data, getting InvalidCastExceptions and the like.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Here's the json i'm wanting to deserialize;
[{"OrderId":0,"Name":"Summary","MaxLen":"200"},{"OrderId":1,"Name":"Details","MaxLen":"0"}]
Here's my code;

I am trying to deserialize a JSON string that looks like so: {'type':'clientlist','client_list':[]} I am using JavaScriptSerializer() to do it. For some reason the JavaScriptSerializer() is choking on the member 'client_list'. It doesn't give very good info. The error it gives is:

Below is my JSON formated String
{"AliasName": "ysiCountryInfo", "DataClass": {"Description":"United States 111","Code":"usa","WriteOffTaxPointAdjustment":0,"IndexationRounding":6}}

I have a WCF service defined as follows:
Imports System.ServiceModel
Imports System.ServiceModel.Web
<ServiceContract()>
[code].....
I am having the same issues as per this question: WCF not deserializing JSON input..I am at a loss and desperate for a solution. I have scoured the net for answers, but I have found only this question that matches my exact problem. My datacontract parameter is also nothing when the service starts.I have tried the points of the answer in the question above, but they provide me with no clues (The web service executes OK -I am not getting any exceptions - and I can't see what the deserializer is doing - or not doing as the case may be).I am using POST, due to the size of the nested JSON.If more detailed information is needed, I will provide it on request.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm saving potentially very large amounts of data to disk as a single serialized class. But there is a sub class that I would like to be able to retrieve and write back to the disk without having to read the entire file or write back the entire file. Trust me, my reasons for doing this are good, and the design behind this is more than correct.In VB6 this is very easily done. A single statement gets the portion of the data you want from the front of the file and saves it straight to the Type it belongs to, flawlessly. Likewise, if the dimensions of the data haven't changed, but only the values, then Put can be used to save it right back to the file without disturbing the integrity of the entire file.When needed, the entire file is read into a larger structure, and the entire file is put back, but only when necessary. Most of the time the only information being read from and written to the file are in the first few hundred kilobytes of the file.
Now that I've got serialization working, I'm trying to use it to read (deserialize) only the first member of the class serialized to disk. I haven't been able to find any examples of this anywhere that have lead me toward making the sort of progress I'm hoping for.So I suppose the first question is this: Is it possible to read only part of a serialized class from the open file stream? Specifically, in one case I want to read the first two integers stored in the class. In another case I want to read only the first block (sub class) from the open file stream. In both cases I do not want to read the entire file, but just what I'm interested in starting from block 0. I don't need to write back the integers to the first file, but I do need to write back the block to the second.Assuming that the answer to the above is yes. My second question would then be: How is this done? I want to work with the file stream already open rather than opening and closing file streams over and over.I
How can I convert a JSON string to an array OR a JSON string to XML in VB.NET? I know how to do this in C#, as I have read dozens of articles on it, however, I am unable to figure out how to achieve the same result in VB.NET.
I'm using the System.Web.Script namespace via System.Web.Extensions.dll (from Microsoft).
I'm willing to use an additional DLL file if needed.
I have a Problem Serializing and Deserializing a 2-Dimensional Array. I have a 5x5 Integer Array and want it to format it into one String (like Base64) to store it as an Attribute in a XML-File.
To store it i use this code:

To Read and Format it i tried following :

But Deserialize only Returns an Integer not an Array. How i can Deserialize an complete Array ?
I'm developing a program that captures a bunch of information entered by a user on a tab form into five different structured arrays. I want the data to be saved into a single file and reloaded by the program into a similarly built series of structured arrays through a different form.If I understand the process of serializing collections right, I create a single ArrayList variable to capture each of the five Structured arrays.[code]
1. Do I have to declare one variable of the same type as the one in the first element of the ArrayList, or does having the public variable declared in the Class that's going to take this information already cover that?
2. Once I deserialize into the newly declared Rules ArrayList in the new form, is it a simple matter of setting the duplicated variables in the new form equal to the relevant element in the ArrayList? For example, if I have a new Public Roster As RosterDesc variable declared, can I set it equal to Rules(0) and it would automatically populate every element in the same order as they were created in the original form?
I have a simple class that I trying to populate from an XML document. The XML file has an attribute called TrackingID in the root node which I would like to get as a property. For some reason, when I deseralize the class, the TrackingID is null. Everything else populates fine. I have tried various attributes on the TrackingID property with no luck.

I am attempting to create a class in vb.net from the below JSON example.I am fairly new to JSON, and I am just having trouble figuring out the correct way of doing this. I have looked at numerous examples of how to do this but they are in much simpler formats than the one I am providing below.

I am guessing this is poorly worded, but I am struggling to find a good example of how this would be done. I need to have the class correctly formatted so when I deserialize into the class it works without error.
I am trying to figure out a class/struture to handle the following JSON format:
{
"ReturnData": [
{
"id": "msg2DoesNotExistName",

I may or may not have Data for ReturnData and SetValue (one or both at a minimum). I am trying to let the serializer handle most of the formatting without having to check for empty sections and single-item arrays.
I have the following code which serialize an array to json:
Dim col1 As New ArrayList

objSQLCommand.Connection.Open()

How can I deserialize this in such a way that I can have a list of objects indexed by property? Meaning, I want to be able to access the data like this: MyList(96).lastproperty or MyList(96).listofstuff.yetanother and have it return the proper datatype too? Is that even possible in vb.net?

I am attempting to deserialize a simple JSON array to .NET objects using the JSON.NET library in visual basic.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong here. My JSON string deserializes into appropriate objects (9 in total), but none of the properties are populated.
My code:
Public Class result
Public Property id As Integer
Public Property vote_percentage As String
[Code]....
When using JSON.NET you have to have constructor methods (i.e. Sub New) in order for the properties to get set during the Deserialization call.
I'm using a web service programmed in Visual Basic .NET 3.5 to receive a JSON Array sent from other application.
I'm sending a JSON string like this one:
[{"idRecoleccion":1,"PIN":"553648138"},{"idRecoleccion":2,"PIN":"553648138"}]
And I'm receiving the code in Visual Basic .NET as follows:

Inside my .aspx I have some JSON code that looks like this:
[Code]....
Basically what I'm doing is pulling text from two labels on one page, and sending them to another page by calling the "doIt" function which looks like this:
[Code]....
Just so I'm clear, the "doIt" function and the JSON call are on two separate web forms. My problem is that with the "doIt" function being Shared, I can't access any global variables of the class. And if I remove the Shared, my JSON doesn't execute.
I have worked out how to pass my custom objects into ASP.Net json webservices. Works a charm. Problem I am having is passing in straight arrays of my custom objects or alternatively passing in arrays that are parameters of my custom objects. So for example...
Public Class WebService1
Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
<WebMethod()> _
[code]....
Fails with error: The value "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]" is not of type "WebApplication1.WebService1+Person" and cannot be used in this generic collection. Parameter name: value
So how do I explain to ASP.net that it is infact an array of Person? note: That changing the function to as List(of Person) or ArrayList does work but given that I implement my own custom collections this is not optimal for me.
UPDATE: Ok so what I have worked out so far is that this problem is definitely associated with how the JavascriptSerializer uses the SimpleTypeResolver to resolve types. Basically if I do something like this
Public Function AddPersonList(ByVal PersonList As String) As PersonList
I can recreate the error using the following code.
Dim PersonList As PersonList = jsonSerializer.Deserialize(Of PersonList)(PList)
However when I provide my own custom type resolver along the lines of
Dim jsonSerializer As New JavaScriptSerializer(New MyCustomTypeResolver)
I can successfully create an instance of my custom list.Now I have worked out how to provide my own custom convertor in the web.config file. Along the lines of this....
<system.web.extensions>
<scripting>
<webServices>
[code]....
PSS: I have tried to use the assembly fully qualified name as specified in the docs for the SimpleTypeResolver (SimpleTypeResolver MSDN) but this throws a "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object." exception - which is an error caused when the TypeResolver cannot resolve the name?
My problem was never passing in a List(of Object) into my webservice (I simply posed the question as such to simplify it for stackoverflow). In such a case I would be willing to completely accept using a Generic List(of) but my problem was actually that one of my custom objects implemented a property with a strong typed List(of) so for example:
Customer {CustomerID AS Guid, FirstName AS String, LastName AS String, EmailAddresses AS EmailAddressList}
which now needs to be changed to
Customer {CustomerID AS Guid, FirstName AS String, LastName AS String, EmailAddresses AS List(Of EmailAddress)}
This is admittedly not the end of the world and is probably better in the webservice context (as you have suggested) but definitely a detriment when it comes to internal application usage of my Collection properties. What this means is that once I have this property I either need to cast it to my CustomCollectionList every time I want to use some advanced feature or I need to implement another property which exposes the CustomCollectionList.
I have a table with a Int PK column and a name. I want to load them into an object of some sort and return them using Json() ActionResult in MVC 2. I am having a hard time finding a built-in structure that is supported for serialization that keeps a simple key/value structure in tact.
Ultimately I would like to do something like:
Function JsonList() As ActionResult
Dim Things = New Dictionary(Of Integer, String)

I am been stuck on this for 3 days now...I have been accessing the twitter api to pull a user_timeline for a list of users and the json that comes back is impossible to work with. I tried to deserialize it using javascriptserializer and get an error:invalid object passed in , ':' or '}'
Now this is frustrating since I expect the json being returned to be error free. Then I tried json.net and split the posts using string.split and tried to convert each post to Jobject or jarray. for Jarray I get
'unexpected end of content while loading jArray
[Code]...
Now I have formatted the code here and not pasted the whole file but it does look like valid json to me and I do not alter anything after receiving the stream from the twitter api. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I really need to get this stuff parsed?

I have a JSON response from a web service that I need to be converted to an object then to an array. My response is similar to the one below:
{"status":{"error":"NO","code":"200","description":"none","message":"Request ok"},"geolocation":{"lat":"38.89515","lng":"-77.0310"},"stations":[{"country":"United States","regPrice":"0.00","midPrice":"0.00","prePrice":"0.00","streetAddress":"1401, I St[code]....
I am doing this is VB.NET within a console for now. Basically I am trying to create a simple way to test my API calls and output the information. What I am trying to accomplish is having to loop through the JSON array and list the stations.
I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm not finding quite the information I'm needing so I thought I'd post this.
I've written a PHP script that returns a simple JSON object that looks like this:
{"status":"success","level":"admin"}
I'm doing a standard web request that submits the required data to the script over the internet and that's working fine.
Now, I want to use JSON.NET to pull out the individual variables so I can know what the values of "status" and "level" are. The problem is, I have no idea where to start.
I'm doing this in VB.NET (on the .NET Compact Framework).
