Convert a data row to a JSON object

Question

I have a DataTable which has only a single row and looks like

   America              |  Africa               |     Japan     |   
   ----------

Like Gazzi said you should include the NewtonSoft.Json library it is included in Visual Studio.

To get an object similar to what you have described you should create a data model like Country.cs which would look like this.

[Serializable]
public class CountryModel {
   public int ID { get; set; }
   public string Title { get; set; }
   public List Values { get; set; }
}

[Serializable]
public class ValueModel {
   public int ValueID { get; set; }
   public string Type { get; set; }
}

Create a helper function to convert your table data to these models. You can then serialize/deserialize data as need using the Newtonsoft Library.
