WCF Not Deserializing JSON / Parameters In Web Service Are Null
Jun 17, 2011
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]
{"AliasName": "ysiCountryInfo", "DataClass": {"Description":"United States 111","Code":"usa","WriteOffTaxPointAdjustment":0,"IndexationRounding":6}} I would like to deserialize object into below class
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:
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:
I have a task to create a web service to receive client-side app's http request(with rpc={json data} in the end), deserilize it and put he parameter in stored Procedure in order to retrive data from sql server. the procedure query and client-side's app are already there and the return data to client-side app is JSON too
i have a stored procedure to update a table. not all fields are required and some can be blank.
for example, title is not required, but when it's blank i get an error Dim ptitle As New SqlParameter("@title", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 20) ptitle.Value = objFormat.CheckSQL(title) myCommand.Parameters.Add(ptitle) ex {"Procedure or Function 'sp_UpdateUser' expects parameter '@title', which was not supplied."} System.Exception
how can i fix it so that it allows for nulls if the data field is blank?
I tried DbNull.Value but no luck. How do I assign a default value as null to a string parameter that is null in VB.NET? Its litte strange to see that VB does not have anything like plain null as most of the other languages do. Also what is the difference between null and DbNull and Nothing.
I am using an EntityDataSource with a FormView on VB.NET application. The FormView contains an AjaxControlToolKit TabContains with multiple tabs. Due to the fact that each tab is a naming container, Bind doesn't work properly for updating values (as discovered from reading other posts on stackoverflow). I instead have to declare UpdateParameters on my EntityDataSource.
Example markup is as follows: <asp:FormView ID="fv" runat="server" DataSourceID="eds" DataKeyNames="ID"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TabContainer ID="tc" runat="server"> <asp:TabPanel ID="tp" runat="server" HeaderText="Tab 1"> <ContentTemplate> [Code].....
This works great, until a customer is edited and their name is set to nothing (assuming in this case, a null name is allowed). The Name UpdateParameter is set to Null but the ObjectStateEntry is not set to modified for Null properties, even if previously the Entity had a value specified. As long as the name is changed to something other than Null, everything is updated correctly. I found a workaround by putting the following code in the Updating event of the EntityDataSource.
Dim ose As ObjectStateEntry = context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(action) For Each p As Parameter In eds.UpdateParameters ose.SetModifiedProperty(p.Name) Next
This makes sure that each property in the UpdateParameters has its state set to modified. It works, but it seems like a hack and I can see it causing problems down the road. Is there anything else I could do?
im not 100% sure this is the right place for this, but thought I'd give it a shot.I created a windows service, and it accepts startup parameters to set the connection string for my database connection. (-L for live, -D for dev, -S for stage etc.)[code]I installed the service using installutil (I already tried using sc.exe) and I can't specify startup parameters.So if I go into Services and go into my service properties and manually type -D into the Startup Parameters box and hit start, I get -D as my parameter, life is good. But the parameter won't save in the startup parameters box, it just reverts to a blank box whenever I close the properties page.[code]
The FxCop says in a rule that generic List should not be exposed to the outside world.But I do not understand why and what is the replacement for the generice List? url...
I'm trying to setup a WCF web service to be consumed by JavaScript using JSON and jQuery.I've noticed that you can send JSON without a DataContract if the service method parameters match the naming structure of the JSON object:
Can I pass parameters back and forth between a Windows Service and .NET program? For ex: I want to pass a compressed/encrypted byte paramater to the Windows Service, who then decompress/decrypt it and return back the decompressed/decrypted bytes.
I'm trying to get data with the methods below and I get null response and can't figure out why. I'm just trying out a different way of using a wcf service from silverlight and I don't understand something that I should.[code]...
The employee object will stay null. If I put a break into the service call and follow through the code it finds the correct record from the database and the return statement shows an object with the correct data but still the employee object in silverlight side will remain null.
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?
how to receive and send back json. Hope someone can help me on this. I understand by examples.
On my clientside, I am sending a ajax json string "name":"theName" to the server side and would like the server side to return a string saying "welcome &name ".
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.
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'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).
I am accessing the facebook api and using the json.net library (newtonsoft.json.net)I declare a Jobject to parse the content and look for the specific elements and get their values. Everything works fine for the first few but then I get this unexplained nullexception error " (Object reference not set to an instance of an object)Now I took a look at the declaration but cannot see how to change it. Dim jobj as JObject = JObject.Parse(responseData) message = jobj("message").tostring
The error occurs at the last line above.I check to see if message is null and then look for the next desired field as follows
[Code]...
This is one example where "message" does not appear in the first few lines but appears later. So what I do is look for position of message and description and which ever is first go and get that and if I get an error or the fields do not return anything, I try and parse by regex and even that is not working right.
According to a mspress book (MCTS for Exam 70-536 .NET 2.0): You might have version compatibility issues if you ever attempt to deserialize an object that has been serialized by an earlier version of your application. Specifically, if you add a member to a custom class and attempt to deserialize an object that lacks that member, the runtime will throw an exception. In other words, if you add a member to a class in version 3.1 of your application, it will not be able to deserialize an object created by version 3.0 of your application.
Now... As curious as I am I went and created a project, serialized a class, added a new member and attempted to deserialize the class to the new object. To my surprise it worked and the newly created member was set to null by default (even if it had another default value).
I'm writing a solution in VB.NET that consists of a number of different components (UI manager, Outlook add-in, etc.). In the main UI program I'm serializing out an arraylist to a data file that contains the data the other components will need to do their jobs. That part works fine, and I can serialize and deserialize with no problem. Now I want to read (deserialize ) in the data in my Outlook add-in, and I ran into the dreaded 'Unable to find assembly' issue where it's looking for the original assembly that serialized the data. I found a hint for workaround
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:
CODE:
To Read and Format it i tried following :
CODE:
But Deserialize only Returns an Integer not an Array. How i can Deserialize an complete Array ?
This is my first post on here--I've been teaching myself VB via forums like this and MSDN for about 2 years now. I'm programming a computerized economics experiment, and I'm using a communications package that a guy I worked with developed. He and I have been going back and forth trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
The upshot of the communications package is that there's a serializeable MQMessage class that we send back and forth, essentially just a package of an integer (Type), string (Text), and Object (Data). Most of the time, this goes according to plan.
The problem is this: If the client receives two or more messages back-to-back, the client stops raising the MessageArrived event. (and presumably, the same would hold true for the server--I should test this, but jeez-oh-man, I've been running test after test for the last week).It's still connected, as on disconnect it throws the "Socket forcibly closed" exception. When it receives multiple messages sequentially, it's still receiving the data, it just never knows when the first message ends, and the buffer just keeps filling and filling. The problem seems to be that it can never successfully Deserialize the MQMessage object, and so it returns Nothing on the getCompletedMessage function and just keeps adding to the buffer (ABuffer.Length goes 1024, 2048, etc.).
I'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
