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.
It is my first time trying to serialize an array into xml list. Couldn't really find a nice tutorial out there on xml.
I have
dim Array() as integer = {1,2,3}
dim Value() as string= {Value1,Value2,Value3}
When the array is serialize, i guess, i want to try to get the format to look like below:
<p data="Value1">1</p>
<p data="Value2">2</p>
<p data="Value3">3</p>
How o it serialize into this format, and de-serialize back into an array?
I desperately seek for a code sample to serialize an array of structure elements to a XML. To serialize a simple object of a structure I used:
Private Sub saveEntries()
Dim FS As New FileStream(path, FileMode.Create)
Dim XS As New XmlSerializer(GetType(personEntry))
XS.Serialize(FS, entries(0)) 'serialize first entry of an array - success
FS.Close()
End Sub
Structure looks like this:
<Serializable()> Public Structure personEntry
Dim name As String
Dim d, m, y As Integer
End Structure
Private path As String = "data_file.xml"
Public entries(2) As personEntry
But how to apply this to an array?

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:

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 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 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.

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

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:

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).
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.
I have two experimental web services. One is an asmx contained within a .net web application. The other is a WCF service library being invoked from the web application.The asmx basically does everything I need, but I think WCF would be better, except that it doesn't do anything as I would expect after fiddling with the asmx service.For example, the same method behaves differently in each:
' ASMX
<WebMethod(BufferResponse:=True, EnableSession:=False)>
Function Test(aObject as Object) as Object
' object will have been successfully serializaed into a dictionary
