Linq query JObject

Question

I am using Json.net for serializing and then making an JObject that looks like this:

 \"RegistrationList\": [
    {
      \"CaseNumber\": \"120654-1330\",
           


        

Answer 1

I only want to display the CaseNumber, FirstName and Comment.

As always in ASP.NET MVC you could start by writing a view model that matches your requirements:

public class MyViewModel
{
    public string CaseNumber { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string Comment { get; set; }
}

then in your controller action you build the view model from the JObject instance you already have:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    JObject json = ... the JSON shown in your question (after fixing the errors because what is shown in your question is invalid JSON)

    IEnumerable model =
        from item in (JArray)json["RegistrationList"]
        select new MyViewModel
        {
            CaseNumber = item["CaseNumber"].Value(),
            FirstName = item["Person"]["FirstName"].Value(),
            Comment = item["User"]["Comment"].Value(),
        };

    return View(model);
}

and finally in your strongly typed view you display the desired information:

@model IEnumerable


        @foreach (var item in Model)
        {
            
        }
    

    

        

            
Case number
            
First name
            
Comment
        
    
    

                
@item.CaseNumber
                
@item.FirstName
                
@item.Comment
