Given that I have JSON like this:
[
{
"ct_IncludeinSummary": true,
"ct_allocationid": "12345",
"allocationclassname": "group1",
"allocationname": "name1",
"opendate": "2018-12-30T05:00:00",
"closeddate": null,
"yearendvalue": 2863.93,
"qrgendvalue": 2.06,
"ct_risk": 2
},
{
"ct_IncludeinSummary": true,
"ct_allocationassetid": "5678",
"allocationclassname": "group2",
"allocationname": "name2",
"opendate": "2018-12-30T05:00:00",
"closeddate": null,
"yearendvalue": 13538223.76,
"qrgendvalue": 17337143.84,
"ct_risk": 3
},
{
"ct_IncludeinSummary": true,
"ct_allocationassetid": "89012",
"allocationclassname": "group3",
"allocationname": "name3",
"opendate": "2019-11-18T05:00:00",
"closeddate": null,
"yearendvalue": 0.0,
"qrgendvalue": 561480.62,
"ct_risk": 5
}
]
I can deserialize the results into a defined model and it works just fine.
var summaryConciseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<SummaryConciseData>>(jsonresult);
public class Summaryconcisedata
{
public Summaryconcisedata(
bool ct_IncludeinSummary,
string ct_allocationassetid,
string allocationclassname,
string allocationname,
DateTime opendate,
DateTime? closeddate,
double? yearendvalue,
double? qrgendvalue,
int ct_risk
)
{
this.IncludeinSummary = ct_IncludeinSummary;
this.allocationid = ct_allocationassetid;
this.allocationclassname = allocationclassname;
this.allocationname = allocationname;
this.opendate = opendate;
this.closeddate = closeddate;
this.yearendvalue = yearendvalue;
this.qrgendvalue = qrgendvalue;
this.risk = risk;
}
public bool IncludeinSummary { get; }
public string allocationid { get; }
public string allocationclassname { get; }
public string allocationname { get; }
public DateTime opendate { get; }
public DateTime? closeddate { get; }
public double? yearendvalue { get; }
public double? qrgendvalue { get; }
public int risk { get; }
}
What I am trying to do is to have a large number of classes (Around 30 in all) I can deserialize and load into models
var summaryConciseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonresult, Type.GetType("API.HelperClass.SummaryConciseData"));
I get the following error:
Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'API.HelperClass.SummaryConciseData' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
Any idea on how I this can be a List<>
?
I've gone through most all of the similar questions to be found but none refer to any data that is in a List
CodePudding user response:
MakeGenericType
on list/ienumerable type should work just fine:
var listType = typeof(List<>).MakeGenericType(Type.GetType("API.HelperClass.SummaryConciseData");
var summaryConciseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonresult, listType);
