How to serialise and deserialise a list in c#

Borrower result = new Borrower();

List brwlist = new List();

brwlist = new List {

new Borrower

{

ID = 210626,

BorrowerStatus = "",

BrwAdd1 = "Property Address line 1",

BrwAdd2 = "",

BrwCellPhoneNo = "",

Brwcity = "Palmbay",

BrwEmaillID = "",

BrwHomePhNo = "",

Brwstate = "AK",

BrwZipCode = "89874",

DateOfBirth = null,

deduction = null,

FirstName = "John",

income = null,

LastName = "Smith",

LoanID = 89191,

PropertyInfo = null,

Sequence = 1

}

};

string dres = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(brwlist,Formatting.Indented);

var brw = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(dres.ToString());

HttpContext.Current.Session["BorrowerList"] = brwlist;

// var b = brwlist.ConvertAll(x => Convert.ToString(x));

var res = _BorrowerController.BorrowerAddress() as JsonResult;

//string a = brwlist.ToString()

//string a = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new Borrower

//{

// ID = 210626,

// BorrowerStatus = "",

// BrwAdd1 = "Property Address line 1",

// BrwAdd2 = "",

// BrwCellPhoneNo = "",

// Brwcity = "Palmbay",

// BrwEmaillID = "",

// BrwHomePhNo = "",

// Brwstate = "AK",

// BrwZipCode = "89874",

// DateOfBirth = null,

// deduction = null,

// FirstName = "John",

// income = null,

// LastName = "Smith",

// LoanID = 89191,

// PropertyInfo = null,

// Sequence = 1

//});

// var dres = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(a);

string jresult = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(res.Data, Formatting.Indented);

var dresult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(jresult.ToString());

// var dresult1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(a.ToString());

Assert.AreEqual(dresult,brw);

// Assert.AreEqual(dresult, (dres));

// Assert.AreEqual(dresult.BorrowerStatus, dresult.BorrowerStatus);

}

Hi

use JsonConvert which from Newtonsoft.Json namespace
like below.
Brrower objClient=JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(browlist)
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(objClient)
sangeetha k8y ago
Borrower result1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(brwlist.ToString());
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result1);

if i do like that it gives me this exception

An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: S. Path '', line 0, position 0.

Hi Sangeetha

You De-serialize and Serialize like below
Borrower client = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(brwlist );

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(client)
