Hi, I have an action which returns json value which is following :

JavaScript

{
    "Formatted Name": "Samsung",
    "Style": "stuffitblue",
    "Supports": [
      {
        "Name": "Follow",
        "URL": "IOGLO000030000900001000050000M000160000100005.Link?aLink_GUID=29b1468f-c8c3-db23-3097-c85369f818cd&aOutputFormat=JSON"
      }
    ],
    "Type": "Button"
  },

I am getting the value of formatted name and style which I am showing in label but I am getting a problem to show the value of supports.So I need a code through which I can print the value of name and URL in label.

I have write the following code to print formatted name.

void wc_DownloadStringCompleted1(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
var serializer1 = new JavaScriptSerializer();
serializer1.RegisterConverters(new[] { new DynamicJsonConverter() });

dynamic obj = serializer1.Deserialize(e.Result, typeof(object));

dynamic obj7 = obj[7];
dynamic fn7 = obj7["Formatted Name"];
lblitemname.Text = fn7;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}

Thanks,

How are you getting the value of formatted name and style?

Priyanka Bhawsar 28-Mar-14 5:23am

Through Dynameicjsonconverter but I am not getting the value of Name and URL.

Solution 1

Have you tried

C#

jsonTypeName.Supports[0].Name

and

C#

jsonTypeName.Supports[0].URL

Replace jsonTypeName with whatever name you have for your json type.

I am not sure, but "Supports" looks like an array to me. Hence I'd prefer jsonTypeName.Supports[0].URL etc.

CoderPanda 28-Mar-14 5:42am

True. I agree.

Priyanka Bhawsar 28-Mar-14 5:40am

But jsonTypeName does not exist in c#.

CoderPanda 28-Mar-14 5:44am

Replace the word "jsonTypeName" with whatever name you have for your json type after it is de-serialized. Please paste how you are accessing formatted name and style?

void wc_DownloadStringCompleted1(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
var serializer1 = new JavaScriptSerializer();
serializer1.RegisterConverters(new[] { new DynamicJsonConverter() });

dynamic obj = serializer1.Deserialize(e.Result, typeof(object));

dynamic obj7 = obj[7];
dynamic fn7 = obj7["Formatted Name"];
lblitemname.Text = fn7;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}

I have write the above code to print formatted name.

CoderPanda 28-Mar-14 6:02am

And does it work?

I suggest you look at the CP article I have mentioned in the solution. It has the exact solution to your problem.

Priyanka Bhawsar 28-Mar-14 6:09am

Yes it is working .

Priyanka Bhawsar 28-Mar-14 7:31am

Thanks I have used the same code for that you send in your link. Through this I have printed the formatted name but I am getting problem to print the value of Name and URL.

CoderPanda 28-Mar-14 7:34am

You will have to paste the latest code again for someone to be able to troubleshoot, just saying it isn't working is not enough.
