Deserializing JSON array into strongly typed .NET object

Question

When I can call the 3rd party api and get back a single class worth of data everything deserialises fine using this code

TheUser me = jsonSerializer.Deseria         


        

Answer 1

Pat, the json structure looks very familiar to a problem i described here - The answer for me was to treat the json representation as a Dictionary, even though there was only 1 entry.

If I am correct your key is of type string and the value of a List where T represents the class 'TheUser'

HTH

PS - if you want better serialisation perf check out using Silverlight Serializer, you'll need to build a WP7 version, Shameless plug - I wrote a blog post about this
