Answer 1

I always had problems with framework-embedded json serializer, therefore I use Json.NET. Here's little example testing these two serializers:

public class Model {
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public bool ShouldSerializeName() {
        return Name != null;
    }
}

class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        var t1 = new Model {
            Name = "apw8u3rdmapw3urdm",
            Id = 298384
        };
        var t2 = new Model {
            Id = 234235
        };

        Test(t1);
        Test(t2);
    }

    static void Test(Model model) {
        Console.WriteLine("JSon from .Net: {0}", ToJson(model));
        Console.WriteLine("JSon from JSon.Net: {0}", ToDotNetJson(model));
    }

    static string ToJson(Model model) {
        var s = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        return s.Serialize(model);
    }

    static string ToDotNetJson(Model model) {
        return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model);
    }
}

You have to include System.Web.Extensions as dependency and install Json.Net with nuget to have the example working.

Here's some documentation form Json.NET and Framework-embedded serializer
