JSON.NET Error Self referencing loop detected for type

Question

I tried to serialize POCO class that was automatically generated from Entity Data Model .edmx and when I used

JsonConvert.SerializeObject 

Answer 1

You can apply an attribute to the property too. The [JsonProperty( ReferenceLoopHandling = ... )] attribute is well suited to this.

For example:

/// 

/// Represents the exception information of an event
/// 
public class ExceptionInfo
{
    // ...code omitted for brevity...

    /// 

    /// An inner (nested) error.
    /// 
    [JsonProperty( ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore, IsReference = true )]
    public ExceptionInfo Inner { get; set; }

    // ...code omitted for brevity...    
}

Hope that helps, Jaans
