Generics/JSON JavaScriptSerializer C#

Question

Estoy compilando una aplicación winForms en NET3.5SP1 usando VS2008Express. Estoy tratando de deserializar un objeto utilizando la biblioteca System.Web.Script.Serialization.

El error es: Tipo 'jsonWinForm.Category' no se admite para la deserialización de una matriz.

¡Salud!

Answer 1

Es muy bueno que pueda encontrar su error. Si está buscando otra herramienta para la serialización JSON, puede intentar JSON.Net.

Answer 2

he encontrado mi error .. debe ser:

Saludos

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer(); 

// create a generic list of categories 
List<Category> listOfCategories = new List<Category>(); 

// deserialize as a list of Categories, and put into listOfCategories 
listOfCategories = serializer.Deserialize<List<Category>>(s); 

//iterate through list and display in text box 
foreach (Category item in listOfCategories) 
{ 
    textBox2.Text += item.categoryid.ToString() + "\r\n"; 
    textBox2.Text += item.name.ToString() + "\r\n"; 
    textBox2.Text += item.serverimageid.ToString() + "\r\n"; 
    textBox2.Text += item.dateuploaded.ToString() + "\r\n"; 
    textBox2.Text += item.enabled.ToString() + "\r\n"; 
}
