Convert Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray to a list of specific object type

Question

I have the following variable of type {Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray}.

properties[\"Value\"] {[
  {
    \"Name\": \"Username\",
    \"Selected\":         


        

Answer 1

I can think of different method to achieve the same

IList result= array;

or (i had some situation that this one didn't work well)

var result = (List) array;

or use linq extension

var result = array.CastTo>();

or

var result= array.Select(x=> x).ToArray();

or more explictly

var result= array.Select(x=> new SelectableEnumItem{FirstName= x.Name, Selected = bool.Parse(x.selected) });

please pay attention in above solution I used dynamic Object

I can think of some more solutions that are combinations of above solutions. but I think it covers almost all available methods out there.

Myself I use the first one
