Below are several classes. How can I serialize a Json string of an instance of A in which PropertyB contains either SpecPropB1 or SpecPropB2 so that those properties remains in the C# object? public class A { public B PropertyB {get;set;} } public class B { public string GenProp {get;set;} } public class B1:B { public string SpecPropB1 {get;set;} } public class B2:B { public string SpecPropB2 {get;set;} } I see multiple solutions to this problem but they lack elegance: Put the type of propertyB as object: I lose the strong typing for this property. Redeserialize the problematic part as a child

The following class public class RequestSections : RequestBase { public RequestSections(Command c, Dictionary<SectionIdentifier, BigInteger> v) : base(c) { VERSIONS = v; } public Dictionary<SectionIdentifier, BigInteger> VERSIONS { get; set; } } is serialized to JSON using JSON.NET and producing the following JSON output: { "VERSIONS": { "Photos": 901, "Music": 902 }, "CMD": 43 } The problem is that SectionIdentifier is enum but JSON.NET converts them to string. public enum SectionIdentifier { Photos = 1000, Music } How can I prevent JSON.NET converting integer enum values to string? I would

I am trying to deserialize derived type, and I want to use a custom property Type to distinguish between derived types. [ { "Type": "a", "Height": 100 }, { "Type": "b", "Name": "Joe" } ] The solution I came to was to create a custom JsonConverter . On ReadJson I read the Type property and instantiate that type through the ToObject<T> function. Everything works fine until I use a JsonConverterAttribute . The ReadJson method loops infinitely because the attribute is applied on subtypes too. How do I prevent this attribute from being applied to the subtypes? [JsonConverter(typeof(TypeSerializer))

In an MVC project, I have a method on a hub similar to this: public string Foo() { return DoCrazyThingThatReturnsJson(); } Unfortunately SignalR (or something) takes the encoded JSON string and happily encodes it, then returns it, so browser be like LOLWTF. Is there a way to skip this second encoding? Looking at this here : We assume that any ArraySegment is already JSON serialized it seems like something like this may work (note that I haven't tried it, so no promises): string jsonString = ...; // your serialized data var jsonBytes = new ArraySegment<byte>(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonString));

This question already has an answer here: How can I parse a JSON string that would cause illegal C# identifiers? 2 answers I am attempting to parse JSON from a web service using Json.NET, the web service returns data in the following format: { "0": { "ID": 193, "Title": "Title 193", "Description": "Description 193", "Order": 5, "Hyperlink": "http://someurl.com" }, "1": { "ID": 228, "Title": "Title 228", "Description": "Description 228", "Order": 4, "Hyperlink": "http://someurl.com" }, "2": { "ID": 234, "Title": "Title 234", "Description": "Description 234", "Order": 3, "Hyperlink": "http:/

This is not an issue but concept I just want to make it clear. When working with asp.net web api we use Newtonsoft.Json's SerializerSettings . In this setting we can set jsonSetting.Converters.Add(new IsoDateTimeConverter()); jsonSetting.DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat; I understood what IsoDateTimeConverter is doing but but not clear about DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat . It seems to be there is no effect of DateFormatHandling.MicrosoftDateFormat if you still using IsoDateTimeConverter . Still excepting some explanation who know about this. dbc You actually have
