wcf JSON deserialization

this
new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>>(results)
will not work with complex objects

you need to create objects

for example, this is the IManage Login JSON

[DataContract]

    public class IManageUser

    {

        [DataMember(Name = "email")]

        public string email { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "full_name")]

        public string full_name { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "user_id")]

        public string user_id { get; set; }

    }

    [DataContract]

    public class IManageLoginInfo

    {

        [DataMember(Name = "X-Auth-Token")]

        public string X_Auth_Token { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "max_age")]

        public int max_age { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "persona")]

        public string persona { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "user")]

        public IManageUser user { get; set; }

    }

then you could do something like this:

HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());

                results = sr.ReadToEnd();

                sr.Close();

                IManageLoginInfo info = null;

                using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(results)))

                {

                    DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(IManageLoginInfo));

                    info = (IManageLoginInfo)serializer.ReadObject(ms);

                }

                this.token = info.X_Auth_Token;

simple json call from c#

string URL = "http://www.blah.com/";

                    string urlParameters = “?v=1”;

                   

                    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

                    client.BaseAddress = new Uri(URL);

                    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

                    HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(urlParameters).Result; 

                    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)

                    {

                        string dataObjects = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

                        var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();

                        var dict = jss.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, dynamic>>(dataObjects);

                        foreach (Dictionary<string, object> x in dict["items"])

                        {

Getting values out of a JSON object in c# when the object is an array

                         var values =    JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Dictionary<string, object>>>(strVal);

                         foreach (var val in values)

                           {

                               blah.Add(int.Parse(val.First(x => x.Key.Equals("blahId")).Value.ToString()));

  

Remove json syntax from strings

with JavaScriptSerializer class

 JavaScriptSerializer javaScriptDeserializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
                List<string> idList = javaScriptDeserializer.Deserialize<List<String>>(Ids);
