c# turn string into an object (deserialize)
hi, I have the attached text file. I can't change it's format in any way. I need to turn it into a c# object (like a list). How do I do this?
the file will show a representation of this:
{
"totalpages": "2",
"currpage": "1",
"totalrecords": "1012",
"filteredrecords": "None",
"recordcount": "1012",
"rows": [
{
"GroupByDesc": "",
"Name": "The Name<br> 2701 Ming Avenue",
"Address": "2701 Ming Avenue",
"City": "Bakersfield",
"State": "California",
"Country": "United States of America",
"IndexRecordNum": null,
"LatestInspDate": "",
"CbiId": "277605"
},
{
"GroupByDesc": "",
"Name": "The Name<br> 1233 W Avenue P",
"Address": "1233 W Avenue P",
"City": "Palmdale",
"State": "California",
"Country": "United States of America",
"IndexRecordNum": null,
"LatestInspDate": "",
"CbiId": "277607"
}
]
}

This is a Json string. You can use the .NET Framework's DataContractJsonSerializer

Hi, yes it is Json string. I have been having issues getting an answer to this question.
People have mentioned using that before but I could not get it to work. I also can't use thrid party tools. I don't have access to anything but the string in the file that I attached. I can't change the way that I get it, the data contract, or anything else. It is a blackbox web service and for my purposes it isn't important that it originally came from a webservice. I have a long string as input (the text file).
I need a function that will behave like this:
private static object DoSomethign(string myInputString)
I appreciate everyone's help, but I really need a solution with code. I have been working on this for a long time and am not making progress. Thanks!
