asp .net json deserialize

hi i have a json string ("see json a") - code below

in asp .net I use JavaScriptSerializer to get the data (see asp A) - code below

everthing works fine but i would like to add additional data into "conversationhistory" for example ( see json B) - code below and be able to parse though only 'conversationhistory" on the server

maybe move it to an array??

any help would be appeciated - thanks in advance

json A

{ "name": "bill", "profileimage": "bill_pic.jpg", "timestamp": "11/24/2010 2:07:25 PM", "subject": "Re: org subject", "msg": "hello this is a message", "conversationhistory": [{ "id": "1", "ch_name": "frank", ch_"profileimage": "frank_pic.jpg", "ch_timestamp": "11/24/2010 9:17:52 AM", "ch_msg": "hello this is a test back" }] }

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

asp code A
Dim json As New JavaScriptSerializer()
Dim p2 As ReplyMsgInfo = json.Deserialize(Of ReplyMsgInfo)(jsondata)

Public Class ReplyMsgInfo

        Private _msg As String
        Public Property msg() As String
            Get
                Return _msg
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As String)
                _msg = value
            End Set
        End Property
End class

{ "name": "bill", "profileimage": "bill_pic.jpg", "timestamp": "11/24/2010 2:07:25 PM", "subject": "Re: org subject", "msg": "hello this is a message", "conversationhistory": [{ "id": "1", "ch_name": "frank", "ch_profileimage": "frank_pic.jpg", "ch_timestamp": "11/24/2010 9:17:52 AM", "ch_msg": "hello this is a test back from frank" }

The post by netswap was not helpful. It was basically just a code and paste of some of my code in the question. I would not use it as an answer

Hi Doctor069,

Have you check my code snippet? I have modified the highlighted line in your code as a suggestion to solve your problem.

Dim json As New JavaScriptSerializer()
Dim p2 As List(of Object) = json.Deserialize(Of ReplyMsgInfo)(jsondata)

Public Class ReplyMsgInfo

Private _msg As String
Public Property msg() As String
Get
Return _msg
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_msg = value
End Set
End Property
End class

Thanks,
Netswap.
