I know this thread has been quiet for a while, but I thought I'd offer that if you override the SupportedTypes property of JavaScriptConverter in you custom converter, you can add the types that should use the converter. This could go into a config file if necessary. That way you wouldn't need a custom converter for each class.

I tried to create a generic converter but couldn't figure out how to identify it in the web.config. Would love to find out if anyone else has managed it.

I got the idea when trying to solve the above issue and stumbled on Nick Berardi's "Creating a more accurate JSON .NET Serializer" (google it).

Worked for me:)

Thanks to all.
