MHop picture MHop · Feb 11, 2010 · Viewed 659.7k times · Source

Is there an easy way to populate my C# Object with the JSON object passed via AJAX?

This is the JSON Object passed to C# WEBMETHOD from the page using JSON.stringify

{
    "user": {
        "name": "asdf",
        "teamname": "b",
        "email": "c",
        "players": ["1", "2"]
    }
}

C# WebMetod That receives the JSON Object

[WebMethod]
public static void SaveTeam(Object user)
{

}

C# Class that represents the object structure of JSON Object passed in to the WebMethod

public class User
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string teamname { get; set; }
    public string email { get; set; }
    public Array players { get; set; }
}

Since we all love one liners code

Newtonsoft is faster than java script serializer. ... this one depends on the Newtonsoft NuGet package, which is popular and better than the default serializer.

if we have class then use below.

Mycustomclassname oMycustomclassname = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Mycustomclassname>(jsonString);

no class then use dynamic

var oMycustomclassname = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonString);
