I have a function with a List return type. I'm using this in a JSON-enabled WebService like:
[WebMethod(EnableSession = true)] [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)] public List<Product> GetProducts(string dummy) /* without a parameter, it will not go through */ { return new x.GetProducts(); }
this returns:
{"d":[{"__type":"Product","Id":"2316","Name":"Big Something ","Price":"3000","Quantity":"5"}]}
I need to use this code in a simple aspx file too, so I created a JavaScriptSerializer:
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
List<Product> products = base.GetProducts();
js.RegisterConverters(new JavaScriptConverter[] { new ProductConverter() });
js.Serialize(products, sb);
string _jsonShopbasket = sb.ToString();
but it returns without a type:
[{"Id":"2316","Name":"Big One ","Price":"3000","Quantity":"5"}]
Does anyone have any clue how to get the second Serialization work like the first?
Thanks!
When you create the JavaScriptSerializer, pass it an instance of SimpleTypeResolver.
new JavaScriptSerializer(new SimpleTypeResolver())
No need to create your own JavaScriptConverter.
